General information
The "Travel Cards" deck is a poker card deck that allow you to communicate with other people without the need of using words. It is extremely useful if you go on vacation to a place you don't know the language they speak.
The deck contains high quality icons and silhouettes of the most used words you would use on vacation. They are divided into 4 categories: feeding, activities, transport and help.
It works for every language in the world, as this is not an English-to-another-language translator, it's a universal translator.
Belangrijkste kenmerken
The "Travel Cards" deck is a traditional poker card deck with the added value of being a multilingual translator with the most used words by travelers, which have been selected after asking a significant group of frequent travelers.
Waarom is dit belangrijk
Two years ago I went on vacation to Japan. My level of English is quite high, so I supposed I wouldn't have any problems to communicate with the people there, although when I arrived, I saw that their English was quite a bit different than mine.
After some attempts asking where was the beach at the hotel receptionist and his coworkers, we finally understood each other using symbols and signs.
It was in that precise moment when the idea of a multilingual translator was born, as there are lots of persons who go on vacation to places where neither their language nor any other known is not spoken.
Doelen van de crowdfunding campagne
The main goal of this project is to raise the minimum funds to design and print the "Travel Cards".
Also, find distribution points like book stores, toy stores, travel agencies or any other interested shops.
Two yeas ago I also started the Multimedia Degree at the UOC university and the last semester I wrote a creative briefing and a publicity campaign idea for a mobile application on which the "Travel Cards" deck is based upon.
The project is based on the mobile application "Travel Cards", also developed by me, available for free on the Google Play Store (http://elmeuordinador.blogspot.com/2011/07/aplicacio-per-android-travel-cards.html), which had to be born in that format due to the required initial investment (cost near 0).
Even though, my idea was always creating a real card deck, which can be very useful on vacation as, besides of being a translator, it can be used as an entertainment means in long trips on planes, trains, ships...
