Placeholder project description for Space Station.
The "Space Boy", the original project, was a physical replica of what I imagined to be an innovative handheld console. While the final outcome of the original project received positive feedback, it didn't satisfy me. I was pleased that I had the capabilities of crafting a console, but the project wasn't interactive. That was my thought process going into the next iteration of the Space Boy: "The Space Station", a complete upgrade.
Building on the lessons learned and experiences gained from that initial project, I sought to expand its scope and ambition, ultimately transforming the concept into something more advanced and comprehensive. On top of that, I wanted to promote an ABSTRACT product to kickstart the brand's opening semester and the I wanted to used the "Space Boy" to expand ABSTRACT's nostalgic gaming theme.
Through Figma, I created a high-fidelity mockup. The layout of the website relied on the ability to feel immersed, as if it were a separate system. I made different screens that were intended to overlap each other.
Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I coded the website. I used Visual Code Studio to write and manage the code. I expanded on the high-fidelity mockup to not only for user experience purposes, but adjusted the UI and visuals. I added stars and leaned heavier into the "space touchscreen" concept.
The design was turned into a marketable poster that aligned with the visual aesthetics of the ABSTRACT brand. Its campaign was to collage nostalgic passion into an item to distribute to consumers. Its visual design takes inspiration from mid-generation console media. Using Blender, it also includes a personally rigged 3D model of ABSTRACT'S mascot, Checkers.
The typography/layout takes a modern approach to game magazines of the past. Due to the idea of transforming a magazine-inspired design into a poster, the layout was changed to justify its size.
Created social media content for promotional purposes to lead preexisting customers to observe the project.
