  1. When writing captions in a block for multiple images on one page (or a spread) of a publication, is there a standard ordering if a numbering system isn't used?

    For example, if a bank of captions are located under one of the images, should that one always be the first caption, with the 'Above' directional?

    Should others then follow in some logical order below that, e.g. Top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right? Or perhaps clockwise from top left?

  6. Pixel Art as Metaphor: Graduation as Leveling Up
    Most video games are built around progression. One of the most common mechanics is earning experience points to advance to the next level. “Level up” has become such a widely understood phrase that it translates easily across industries, as seen in this graduation-themed gift card for Target.

  11. Since video games introduced visual concepts that didn't exist before, pixel art illustration can translate those conventions into clever metaphors. Life choices become branching narratives. Daily obstacles become boss battles. And important milestones translate to leveling up. 
    Over the next month I’ll be highlighting some of these projects, including work for Target, Brooks Running, and the City of Edmonton.

  12. Pixel art is the perfect illustration style for branded video games and the aesthetic also allows contemporary brands to be reframed through an unexpected 8-bit lens, instantly signaling play, nostalgia, and approachability.

  13. Pixel art reinforced that illusion. By presenting the action as a series of exaggerated, retro-style frames, the piece borrowed the visual language of arcade combat to amplify the spectacle. The audience was not technically playing a game, but they were still participating in the experience.

  14. For example, during COVID lockdowns, Sam Adams recreated its Oktoberfest stein-hoisting competition as a virtual experience. With in-person gatherings restricted, pixel art was used to build a digital game space that simulated the communal atmosphere of the event, allowing participants to compete online rather than physically.
