PLAY 16 – Creative Gaming Festival

client: Creative Gaming e.V. The Play16 is a festival like any music festival, but with games. It is for people who like especially the innovative ones by independent developers or even for developers. This years motto was "Let's get physical. Game and body." The games that were exhibited had something to do with the theme be it through the controller like virtual reality or games that contained the topic otherwise through the bodies in the game. Also, there are workshops, talks and shows for diverse interests and ages, be it making, developing, philosophical, academical or just the plain, old, main point: playing. I worked during and before the festival for them and helped with everything I could and know about Design, Illustration and crafting and learned a lot for myself. Now I can create concrete stands for displays. The festival was a lot of fun and a challenging experience.

Crafting the Display Character

For the main locations to find we built a display character. In front of these locations stood this figure.

For the rest and to navigate the visitors, I did a lot of tape art. It was a gray zone to vandalism. I briefed the team that we had to do everything on the go and spontaneous were it makes sense and that it is still pleasing to the eyes and not visually screaming.

Well, almost everything with this festival was very spontaneous and self-made. It was the charm.

Test Hands

I tried out a little to get some more connection to the theme "Let's get phisical. Game and body." Well, it was shortly before Halloween and didn't fi the festival, but I still had fun with it.
