No company dominated the early video game landscape of the 1970’s and 80’s like Atari. Now, more than 40 years of original promotional artwork has been collected in a single volume. Please join us for a talk with writer and award-winning creative director/graphic designer Tim Lapetino about the creation and research of his new design history book Art of Atari., which features a comprehensive and fascinating look at the packaging, advertisements, catalogs, and other artwork that brought the first generation of video games to life for millions of people worldwide.
