My yearbook spread took close to a week to come to the final draft. I would give myself a C+ as I wanted an interesting layout but I was unable to achieve that, however I had fun drawing the 8-bit icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I really enjoy the 8-bit aesthetic and the video game devices of the 90s, I wanted to use the Gameboy SP (since it flips out) and lay it out as 2 pages with its top screen and bottom controls.
