These series of posters are an exploration of pixel art, focusing on the unique aesthetic that minimal, pixel-based imagery can bring to visual storytelling.

These projects allowed me to delve into the retro-inspired world of pixel art to create visually compelling, modern compositions
The Challenge:
- Create a pocket-sized reference guide containing all possible PA announcements.
- Ensure quick access to equivalent messages across four languages.
- Maintain clarity despite space constraints.
Design for frequent daily use.
