Traveling is something that everybody wants to do; though, not
everyone is capable of jetting off to a dream destination. However, in our busy
lives we are all looking for instant gratification when it comes to a mental
break from our daily routine. Video games have become a mental vacation for
many. They are a fast way to log off your real life, letting the user escape on
a mid-day retreat in a matter of seconds. I wanted to take this idea of video
games as a mental vacation and create retro inspired destination posters for
locations within a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game
(MMO-RPG). These posters were created to
be placed within the game world (inspiring the player to take their character
to a different location) and for outside the game (inspiring the user to log in
and take a moment away from the real world).
The posters all contain hand illustrations
and muted colors. These counter the vibrancy of the video game and reinforce
the idea classic destination posters. Each poster is written in three different
fictional languages, representing the diversity of people reading them.
Sit down, log in, and please remain seated until you have
arrived at your destination.
