Printed Panels for Retro Arcade Game Machine
THE CLIENT
Arcade Machines are something that may transport many of us back to our childhoods! These games are making a steady come-back amongst newly released VR headsets, Xbox, and Playstation consoles. These brilliant forex-printed panels complete this home-build lockdown project for a private client.
THE BRIEF
A private client got in touch to commission these forex prints to finish off their lockdown project. Remember the days of lining up your favourite games, working your way through every penny of spare change, or now killing time at the bowling alley playing Pac-Man, Gaunlet, and Space Invaders?
Why not have an entertainment console at home with that classic 8-bit music and fun for all the friends and family at Christmas! This brilliant client set about this project in 2020 during the days of furlough, and time on his hands.
One of our more unique commissions, the artwork was readily provided and purchased online - if anything showing how easy it is the gain exactly what you need via the website even for custom pieces.
