Video Game Collage Mash-ups
://TLDR
Client: In-Telecom
Role: Graphic Designer
Software used: Photoshop
My motivation for this project was to combine art from different video game properties with a shared theme.
HIFI Punk'd
For this, I selected purple and orange as my primary colors because both can be used to give an impression of dynamism and energy. I also chose these two colors because they are a bit of an unconventional pairing that worked well with the overall punk theme I was going for. I designed this collage to have two focal points, the Hi-Fi Rush character and the eyes of the Borderlands character. In between the two points is where the illustrations interact, effectively encouraging a viewer to look at the two focal points and all the space in between.
Samus Returns
In this collage, I prominently featured yellow and black. Yellow symbolizes the energy and power of Samus’ beam gun, while black introduces a dramatic element and a strong contrast with the yellow. To enhance the piece, I incorporated particle effects and lightning renders around the beam gun, adding a raw, chaotic vibe. I chose to depict Samus and the Halo Elite at the same size to suggest their equal power, highlighting the inherent risk Samus faces by firing at the elite.
Cloud and V: Dystopia
For this collage I wanted to bring attention to the shared themes of the Final Fantasy VII and Cyberpunk franchises. FFVII presents a futuristic city powered by exploiting mako, a fictional non-renewable resource. The Cyberpunk franchise, specifically Cyberpunk 2077, shows us a futuristic city resulting from an alternate history of our world. These two cities, Midgar (FFVII) and Night City (Cyberpunk), may initially appear as shining beacons of the benefit of ever-advancing technology, driven forward by their free market capitalist systems, but upon exploration, the dark side of these systems begins to show.
