The Art, Imagination, & Beautiful Design behind Modern Video Games

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood by Ubisoft Montreal As graphic design matures alongside a robust digital culture, the two continue to become inexorably intertwined.

Video games have come a long way since their initial conception. They've developed from games of simple hand-eye coordination contests, to fully immersive worlds with enthralling characters and recognized economies that lure your emotional interest. That emotional investment is hardly something to take lightly either, since video games from decades ago still inspire questionable tattoos, and provide unique inspiration for more recent video projects.
