In April, we’ll be joined by none other than Matt Nava. Matt is the studio Creative Director at game development studio Giant Squid. He is well-known for his work as an art director on the games Journey and Flower during his time at thatgamecompany.
Matt directed several games for Giant Squid studio such as Sword of the Sea, ABZÛ and The Pathless. Besides working on games, he wrote and designed The Art of Journey, a book about the development process and artwork of the game Journey.
During his talk, Matt will take the audience on a behind-the-scenes tour of the games he has worked on, including Journey, Sword of the Sea, ABZÛ and The Pathless. He’ll compare concept art and early development imagery to the final outcomes in the games. What visual and design challenges did he face in each project?
While highlighting key learnings in his process, Matt will also share his thoughts on the deeper meaning behind the art.
