magazine spreads

Instead of making a regular post with a bunch of pictures, I decided to instead do this post a little differently.

I recently drafted up some magazine spreads with some small stories I threw together. It's nothing serious, but I figure it gets my point of view across as both a graphic designer and a fashion-minded individual. So without further ado...

Fashion and....Videogames?

Fashion and videogames collided with the introduction of H&M's new set of a clothing line for the popular hit game, The Sims 2.

Although most people don't know it, I'm a great fan of good videogames and I enjoy playing whenever I get the spare time. But it comes as an interesting concept to me when you think about the interaction between modern fashion and videogames. Especially in context to what the characters themselves wear.

In all of the games I've played, realistically a lot of the fashion looked as if they were truly the product of a fantasy-inspired dream. However, there have been moments where I just do a double-take and realize with great surprise, "My! Look at what she's wearing!"

Mackenzie from the Nintendo DS game, "Touch Detective" was a recent example of my surprise. With her Amelie Poulain-inspired haircut, beret, scarf, sailor-inspired dress with black tights and white and black boots, who wouldn't get inspiration from that?
