The Art of the App

My latest Goddess Tarot app blog tour post is up! It’s all about creating art for an iPhone app:

Unless you’re versed in the programming languages C+ and Cocoa, creating an iPhone app is a mysterious process. Unlike websites, there are no Dreamweaver-like editors out there to construct your app with a click and drag of the mouse. That written, the popularity of the App Store has led to ample resources for those determined to code-or-bust — there’s even an iPhone Application Development for Dummies book available.

But what about creating art for an app?

What they don’t tell you about creating a tarot deck

I’m back from the West Coast — and have been greeted by a “to do” list that feels longer than my vacation. (Isn’t that always the way?) Nonetheless, The Goddess Tarot app blog tour continues anon.

Today, I have a guest post over at The Tarot Dame which is all about tarot deck creation. Oh, and there’s a giveaway too. I hope you’ll take a moment to check it out.

Once I have a chance to catch up (and catch my breath), there will be some new posts coming here. Really. This summer has been a particularly travel-intense one. I’m still waiting for my spirit to catch up with my body, if you know what I mean.

As I wrote yesterday, I’m traveling with my family on the west coast right now. Nonetheless, I’m virtually visiting Arwen Lynch’s tarot blog today, as the first stop on The Goddess Tarot app blog tour. I’ve written a post about tarot in the digital age — I hope you’ll stop by to comment! On top of that, we’ll be offering a giveaway.

(It’s just all giveaways all the time these days!)

You’re invited: The Goddess Tarot app blog tour!

It’s summertime, so I’m currently on the road until mid-August. During this time, I hope to catch up with family and friends who live on the West Coast. Nonetheless, I have my semi-trusty laptop with me and will be posting periodic updates.

Along with this, I’ll be visiting blogs in August to celebrate the launch of The Goddess Tarot app. Already, I’ve gotten some press for the app — check out this article on Brokelyn.com in which I am queried about how to make an iPhone app. But for the tour, there will be much more: articles, interviews, even a podcast, along with giveaways galore!

Without further ado, here is a list of the blogs taking part in The Goddess Tarot app tour:

Monday, August 3rd — Tarot by Arwen

Tuesday, August 5th — New Age Journal

Thursday, August 6th — Only Tarot

Monday, August 10th — The Tarot Dame

BTW, if you haven’t downloaded The Goddess Tarot app yet, here are links to download the free Lite version and the paid Full version. You can find out more about the app’s features and visuals here.

Though it’s only been on the market for a week, already The Goddess Tarot app is garnering great reviews on iTunes. Here are excerpts from what people are saying about the Full version:

I’ve gotten a few tarot card apps so far and none of them can touch the Goddess Tarot for beautiful layouts and smart interactivity. It even has an animated shuffle — so clever!… Be sure to get the full version which has a variety of layouts.”

“Even if you’re not into tarot, this deck is for you. The artwork is enchanting. This is one of my most favorite decks and now it’s even better.”

“This cool app did not disappoint! As well as giving good readings — uplifting without being fluffy — there is also the opportunity to learn about the belief systems and goddesses from all over the world.”

“Kris Waldherr’s lush visuals and intuitive programming make this one of my favorite apps.”

“Beautiful images and soulful interpretations! It offers me a sense of wonder and magick — and it’s conveniently available in my iPod.”
