Arcade Mania!
The Turbo-charged World of Japan’s Game Centers
BOOK DESIGNER
ART DIRECTOR
The second book I designed for Kodansha International was Arcade Mania! (2008) by Brian Ashcraft and Jean Snow. The design brief was to make it fun and “game like.” Unfortunately, most of the places covered in the book have vanished now, but at the time it was tremendous fun playing in these old game arcades while seeking “inspiration” for the design.
