The Blue Screen of Death

Moodboarding

With the name being chosen un-animiously, our student curators requested us to curate visuals, tone, and a color swatch. A majority of these projects were games resulting in many bugs and errors along the way and with that, our visuals were heavily inspired by the a critical error screen displayed called "Blue Screen Of Death". My classmate Cindy and I leaned towards analog computers and nostalgia in order to echo the exhibtion title.

These are the beginning layouts we thought about using, but refined the final graphic after the removal and addition of newer elements. Our monochromatic palette really helped as we wanted to guide the viewer within this design to continue to find new artifacts every time as you will see in our final iteration.
