Over 700 Fortune Cookie Papers

I ran the blog Fortune A Day for ten years, from August of 2011 to August 2021. As part of the blog wrap-up I did a final layout of all the physical fortune papers.

Here's a process gif:

The full set was laid out by color (papers had blue, red, and black text). More specifically they were grouped by font, and whether or not lucky numbers and Chinese phrases appeared on front or back. However, it's hard to differentiate those sub-groups in pictures of the full set. I made a couple posts about the full layout (the first one here) in order to show some close-ups (the second one here), and also posted a takedown video on IG (linked in the third post).

For those who enjoy numbers organized neatly, individual fortune image posts were tagged with numbers when the papers listed a set of "lucky" or "lotto" numbers. An evaluation at the end of the blog showed that the numbers 1 through 56 and 76 are considered lucky. 57 through 75 and 77 and up are unlucky. I go into details on this post.
