Your  Printshop  Is  In Another  Castle

A Video Game Print Exchange

 

Video games make us cheer, laugh and throw controllers across rooms. They take us on adventures. Tell captivating stories. Give tricky little puzzles with time limits. They let us show off our virtual prowess to our buddies. Bore us with loading screens. 

Did you have a special dust blowing technique for getting old game cartridges to work? Ever spend an entire night playing video games with friends? Find yourself humming a tune from your favorite game? In this portfolio you are encouraged to explore your childhood or inner childhood experiences with video games through traditional print media.
