panel series
Designed a 5-panel visual timeline showcasing the evolution of video game consoles, utilizing retro-inspired graphics and a geometric layout to educate viewers on gaming history.
first draft
Iterative design process, starting with experimentation using geometric shapes reminiscent of classic PlayStation controller buttons as framing devices for each era. Initial drafts revealed composition and consistency challenges, but provided a foundation to refine the layout and enhance the retro-inspired, visually dynamic aesthetic.
final draft
The final timeline design centralized the composition, standardized the frame sizes, and adjusted the geometric shapes to have a consistent overlap with the console graphics. Adding date labels and a brick background texture grounded the retro aesthetic, while mellowing the color palette created a more cohesive, visually engaging snapshot of gaming history that educates viewers through an interactive, dynamic layout.
