Game Boy.
About the Project.
I created a short animation of the nostalgic Tetris game inside the iconic Game Boy console using After Effects. Taking creative liberty for the design I was inspired by the Japanese “Kawaii” (Cute) style defind by cute pastel colors with soft gradients making elements look sweet like candy. swaying away from realism into a more dream-like aesthetic knowing videogames are a great tool for escapism.
