Arcadia for a Coin Book

One of my fondest memories as a child was visiting the mall with my father. Our first stop, New York-style pizza joint in the food court for a slice. The second, Aladdin's Castle. I slipped countless zenny, Aladdin's currency for quarters, playing 80s and early 90s arcade games.

Each chapter, or stage in this book, focuses on four landmark titles of a particular year with an accompanying visual theme, i.e. the year featuring Pacman's release has a popping yellow, red, and black motif.

I also worked in collaboration with local arcades and a professional photographer to capture original images for the book.
