Escapism: Video Games

This section was cut short due to a lack of game screenshots to use, however it is intended to represent how video gamers can get lost in the game and almost obsessed with it. This links to escapism as it is often used to distract them from their real lives as they put themselves in the shoes of the character on screen.

 The image above was intended to show the gamer playing the game and being absorbed in it.

 This image is not as clear as I would have hoped. The effect I was aiming for was the gamers hand starting to go into the screen to show their immersion into the gaming world and how it can blur the line betwen reality and fiction.

This image was supposed to show how the gamer sometimes imagines their life as a game and applies the metaphors as such. I could also represent how the gamer gets so into the game that it is traumatic for them when they lose.
