The Art Of The Box review

Back in the 80s and 90s, there was no internet, so you could not easily figure out if a video game was good or not. People who liked video games had to rely on the covers to decide what to buy. The game covers were a big deal in selling the games. Enter The Art Of The Box, one of Bitmap Books latest titles.

Within the pages of this bound book, you can find a collection of nostalgic works of art, complemented by insightful commentary and background information about the accomplished artists behind the pieces.

I particularly liked learning about the personal side of people who create things. I want to know about their challenges, successes, and what inspires or hinders their creative process. So, more than just being a pretty book, this one, like always, has really interesting stories about the people behind it. Fantastic review copy sent to The Artifice by Bitmap Books.
