Shadow Experimentation

In this project, I challenged myself to bring the classic Nintendo Game Boy to life using Figma. I focused on mastering realism by playing with shadows, textures, and subtle details to recreate every aspect of the Game Boy’s iconic design. This was more than just a technical exercise—it was a way for me to explore how far I could push Figma to capture the nostalgic feel of a beloved piece of gaming history.

Project Details

  • Tools: Figma

  • Skills: Shadows & realism

  • Total Time: 2 hours (intentionally limited to prevent chasing never-ended realistic perfectionism)
