Senior Thesis

For my Senior Thesis project I chose to research a topic about video games since I am very passionate about them. The topic I chose was “The Psychology Behind UX/UI Design Decisions in Video Games.” The concept and overall style of my thesis is inspired by the idea of “flow state” and “user flow.” Because of these core ideas, I decided to name my thesis “Flow State by Design.” I wanted the style of my thesis to flow and feel smooth as you read it and flip through its pages. I also chose to expand upon the idea of my thesis and make a custom video game inspired case and disc for it as well.
