What is Frames?

Frames is a card deck for insight. Each card contains a visual story, beautifully illustrated with science and technology ideas. When you look at a frame of four random cards, your brain works naturally to unlock your inner data for creative problem-solving and personal insight. Each Frames card is an illustrated idea from technology and science—the global culture we all share. The deck has 36 idea cards and 9 archetype cards.

ART. Each card is a visual allegory—an artwork that tells a story. Each illustration draws from the new universal symbology of science and technology. There are no rules about interpreting the story. Everyone finds unique meaning in a card.

FORCES. The 45 cards are separated into 3 force categories: Physical, Intellectual, and Spiritual. The forces organize the deck into concepts. Including the force when interpreting a frame will help you to visualize trends.

SYMBOLS. Frames uses modern symbols and titles. Old concepts of class (royalty), gender, and ability are not included. The art has layers of meanings and small details that are fun to decode. Over time, one of these details may come into focus for you. Finding new meaning in the art means that you have grown and changed.

How to do a frame

QUESTION. Get some quiet time for yourself in a comfortable place without distractions. Think of an unanswered question of importance to you. Choose one without a yes/no answer or that starts with Why, How, or What. Write your question down.

MAKE RANDOM. With the cards face down, do a long shuffle to ensure randomness. Think about your question while you shuffle. Then spread the cards face down in a long row or flat pile.

LAY OUT CARDS. Focus on your question. Pull 1 card and place it face down on the Person position. Do the same for the other 3 frame positions. Then turn them over.

INTERPRET. For each card in the frame, write down the combination of title, force, and position. Does the frame tell a story about your question? Does your intuition agree? Consult the user guide and website for help.

ACTION. Decide on an action based on the entire frame. Track the results.
