Video game design and photo ops

17 May 2011

The Observer ran a very nice piece at the weekend on video game design and the psychology thereof, which I recommend you go read. One of the people they have discussing games and how people relate to them is extremely talented Margaret Roberston of Hide & Seek, where I have the good fortune to work on occasion.

One such occasion was last week when a photographer from the Observer turned up to take Margaret’s photo, and she was asked to wear a bunch of the wonderful props that occupy the Hide & Seek office. Alas no picture made it into the online version of the article, but fortunately I was armed and ready to capture the moment:

Always pays to have your camera at the ready :)
