Packaging

Already creating two of the flick books which took alot more effort and time then first expected. The layout for the covers where quite simple however.

The net was a simple measurement of each side along with a tab to stick and then slide over the flick book.
The best style i managed to create was by having the original box art as previously explained.

i included the year that the game in the flickbook was from and it all began to take shape.

 The covers i felt added to the real feel of the project people where quite happy to slide them off and play around with them. People knew what they where going to expect when taking them out.

I attended a crit where the feedback was very clear. the problem and solution wasnt very clear. no one knew what they where really trying to achieve. I took the feedback to the design sheets and realised that what i was trying to create was really unreachable as each flick book took double what i had planned to make and where really to large to use. 

The next plan was to move the development further. 

I went back to my questionnaires where i remembered how people used the Gameboy more than any other console. This sparked an idea and i felt stupid for not seeing it earlier in my work.

I will focus on the Gameboy and the parts which where significant for example the creation of the gameboy. Moving onto the Gameboy advance which revolutionised the handheld market.

I looked into the Gameboy and created a sheet describing the different types upto current day where i decided to stick with the Pre DS stages of the console.

As i had already made the two flick book for the video games i realised that they had also been made as games for the Gameboy so a simple repackaging would be suffice.

I looked into the startups of the Gameboy consoles and realised that was a clear obvious change for each handheld as for every new ere of gaming it updated the boot up screen. To my relief each startup video was also only around 4 seconds max which meant the size was no longer an issue !

After following the steps i took to create the huge flickbooks this felt a lot easier and meant i could have the transaction really smooth without it being massive.

As you can see from the video the playback of the startup video works so much better.
