Game Over: a history of video games

Objective: create an infographic in Adobe XD explaining the history of a chosen topic, whose design also reflects the topic of interest.

Solution: An infographic about the history of video games, using an 8-bit font and common video game symbols to educate the viewer. Split up into 10 different eras of video game history, from the beginnings of programming games to now VR. Photos representing consoles, games, or characters are used in each section to illustrate a talking point of that era. Within XD, the “next level” buttons and hearts at the very beginning can take you to different sections of the infographic. It’s meant to feel like a game within itself, navigating from one level to the next until you reach the end.
