• Description:

A brochure for my arcade company Attract Mode.

• Process (Programs, Tools, Skills):

I actually really enjoyed this project. I knew I wanted to continue with the theme that I’ve been working on for most of the semester and decided to do it for Attract Mode. I started off by searching for pictures that would display the kind of arcade atmosphere I was after. After that I had to find the perfect background. I’m also really fond of the fonts I used. They really evoke an old school feel. The toughest part was clipping the arcade cabinet in the bottom left corner.

• Message:

I was trying to get across that no matter who you are or what kind of arcade experience you’re seeking, you could find it at Attract Mode.

• Audience:

Arcade fans young and old. Seasoned vets and newcomers alike.

• Top Thing Learned:

How to effectively clip an image. Tough stuff.

• Color scheme and color names:

There are way too many colors going on here to nail it down to just a single color scheme.
