Indie Expo

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly everyone and every business in some way, especially smaller independently-run business that rely on the abilities and will of only a few individuals. I chose to focus on the independent (“indie”) video game community because besides the fact that I love video games, I was less familiar with specifically indie games. I wanted to contribute to the recognition indie game developers and their teams deserve for the amount of passion and work they put into their games/brand, and to the gaming community as a whole.

I researched an existing brand, Independent Games Festival (IGF), to better understand a well-known organization dedicated to indie games and their web/brand presence and purpose. This served as inspiration for my project, while also innovating upon the brand by incorporating a community forum and focusing on simplicity and ease of navigation around the site.
