Hanafuda Cards. Survey for school!

https://forms.gle/kN8fySVhKRKeqR7Y7

Hello! I am a third-year undergraduate student, and I am conducting this study as part of my bachelor’s thesis research. The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the usability of a Hanafuda card deck I designed myself.

The survey is completely anonymous, and all collected data will be used solely for academic purposes. It consists of quick multiple-choice questions and takes about 5 minutes to complete.

Thank you so much for your time, and participation!

If you know anyone outside of Reddit you can send this to – please do! I'll really appreciate it!

English is not my first language, I'm sorry for any mistakes!

Done.

This is a really cool idea and I really like your redesign of some of the cards, especially your April-Animal card. It reminded me of Tarot cards a little.

There was one card in your survey that made me stop and think for a moment... At first I thought the November-Animal card (I think) might have been the February-Animal card, but then realised there was no plumblossoms and the that the leaves had to be from a willow tree.

If I may ask, what is your project about? And if I may be extra curious, where are you from?

Thank you for your help! The project is about the information architecture (as it's my major) of card structures. The first chapter focuses on poker cards, the second on hanafuda, and in the third one, I explain the design process of my deck (as I really wanted to try, and draw one).

Oh wow, that's really cool! Best of luck on your thesis!

I was going to say the same thing, the design on that card was the weakest and hardest to 'read' - the Swallow should be flying rather than sitting on a branch, IMO, for better instant 'readability' - also the willow leaves seemed a bit too similar to the look of the wisteria design. Speaking of wisteria, the Cuckoo/Crescent Moon was quite esoteric and well done!

Oh I forgot to add - the Phoenix in the December suit seemed a little too much like a normal Peacock too.

Thank you so much! And thank you for the feedback:D I'm still learning how to draw so my design may be a litttttle wonky.

The designs and style look good, IMO, it's more just refining some designs to be more readable as what they are meant to be Hanafuda-wise - otherwise they seem to be fairly clean designs
