As part of the visual culture course, a project was assigned on the theme of image hypertrophy. The outcome was the design of a fictional PlayStation 2 game, centered on the nostalgic effect that evokes a sense of comfort and familiarity.
Along with the outer packaging, the project includes the disc, instruction manual, a poster, and a QR code linking to a playlist of songs selected for the game.The images were created using AI [Midjourney]: existing images were used as a base and transformed into a 2000s video game style through prompt-based generation. To enhance the nostalgic atmosphere, the game is set inside a computer running the Windows XP operating system with an aesthetic inspired by the Frutiger Aero style.
