Videogame Box Works is a design concept for a new book on Hock Wah Yeo; a designer working in California in the early 90s. Yeo was a visionary, creating some truly iconic packaging for the emerging games scene at the time.
I was commissioned by Read-Only Memory to design the concept. Yeo’s weird and wonderful boxes were originally published in a very limited run book by Colpa Press — my brief was to reimagine the content in a more contemporary way; suitable for ROM’s design-savvy audience.
Videogame Box Works was launched as a crowdfunding campaign, but sadly the book did not reach its funding goal, and therefore will remain a concept for now. Hopefully it may become a reality one day, and it was still a dream come true to work for ROM!
