The Art of The Box: A Visual Journey for Retro Gaming Enthusiasts
Published Aug 9, 2023
“The Art of The Box” is an upcoming release by Bitmap Books that will take readers on an enchanting journey through the golden age of video game packaging, showcasing the extraordinary artistry and creativity that graced the boxes of our favorite games. This visually stunning publication showcases the remarkable talents of 26 renowned artists including Bob Wakelin, Tom DuBois, and Susumu Matsushita, to name a few.
“Before the days of brand awareness campaigns and digital marketing, a game’s only source of advertising was often limited to the box artwork you’d see on high street shelves.”
As the gaming industry continues its inevitable shift towards digital downloads and subscription services, the days of traditional box art are numbered. However, a few exceptional examples of these captivating artistic creations will forever be immortalized in The Art of The Box. This extensive and meticulously researched book spans 564 pages, containing over 100,000 words and showcasing more than 350 vibrant images in full color.
“The Art of The Box” is scheduled for release on August 14th and will be available for purchase through Bitmap Books’ own website and Amazon.
