Anastasia Jacobsen - PS1 Nostalgia

Bachelor Project Description

Bachelor Project : Nostalgic Visual Design and PS1 Nostalgia

Purpose of the project: My bachelor project focused on the exploration of when and how retro design is considered nostalgic and was done with fokus on the aesthetics of the PlayStation 1 console's graphical limitations. During the project, I investigated users' reaction to various nostalgic design elements by using a PS1-imitating game prototype, which, in continuation of interviews, was used for user surveys.
