concept & design

I'm a generalist that likes to dip his toes in all aspects of visual comunication between the medium and the consumer. Be it a game and its player, or a comic and its reader.
Translating complicated ideas into simple designs that ooze of essence is the most fulfilling challenge to me.

PROJECT HORIZON

As part of my project of imagining a different direction for the 2022 game SONIC FRONTIERS here are my concepts for improved environment designs. What bothered me most in the game was the unpersonalized environments that invite to explore but offer absolutely no rewards whatsoever.
