Market research
Analysed three websites with a similar purpose, identifying what worked well and where their user experience could be improved.
Project 02 / IT extended qualification
Checkpoint 99.
A retro gaming website that takes visitors through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
The brief
Building a complete retro gaming experience.
As part of my IT Extended Qualification, I designed a business concept and created the digital assets for Checkpoint 99. The website explores three decades of gaming, with dedicated information for the 70s, 80s and 90s.
I used a synthwave-inspired palette of purple, black and orange to give the site a clear retro identity and make the visual style reflect the subject.
