Level Up Magazine
Level Up Magazine is a theoretical video game arts magazine that highlights the artwork created in video games. Games like Gris, Journey, and Abzu inspire artistic and musical creativity. This direction comes directly after COVID-19 Quarantine started, I saw it as an opportunity to look at beautiful things inside the home and use it as a motivation to learn more development and design.

RESEARCH
I always really enjoyed Game Informer magazines for their cover art so I started there and looked at other magazine that had a bold and artistic aesthetic.

PROGRESS
I started painting my own “cafe” scene for the cover of the magazine, but due to time constraints I decided to shift directions. I found this particular scene from the game Gris and instantly knew it would be a great magazine cover.

FINAL DESIGNS
I created a water color themed issue for this magazine rendition. I highlighted the artistic beauty in these games in a magazine layout.
