Craft the 2600
Getting into this project I was tasked to build an Atari strictly out of shapes, colors, and textures no images although this would be a tough task at hand it was not impossible and could be done but before getting into the actual build of the Atari I had to Include the blueprint of the Atari to show the quality and time put into designing the look of the console.

The 2600
Here came the difficult part of the project but nonetheless I felt confident going into because this project held alot of meaning to me due to me growing up playing retro video games such as Space invaders this project made me feel at home and honestly made me want to play the game.

Mock-Up
With this process, I wanted to stay true to the heart of Atari, so I stuck with one of the console’s best games, Space Invaders. While the game was played on more than just the Atari, I still wanted to highlight how revolutionary the Atari was for its time. I thought about how to make this feel revolutionary, so I reflected on what we imagined the future would look like as kids—something that made the game feel like it was jumping out at you. That’s when I decided to have the characters from Space Invaders burst out of the TV, which also gave the poster a sense of depth.
