Website design & development is usually a forward-thinking craft, but this one had me rewinding three decades! For SEGA and Supercell, I took a trip down memory lane, channelling my inner 90s child to create the online companion to a one-off retro-style magazine made by the original Mean Machines team, to promote Supercell’s Squad Busters smartphone game and its Sonic the hedgehog crossover. The brief was simple: Capture the spirit of 90s gaming mags — loud, cluttered layouts, bold typography, clashing colours — with one guiding word: nostalgia. The result? A digital homage that feels like flicking through a 1993 issue, reimagined for today's screens. Complete with a few 90s Easter eggs: ☎️ Dial-up modem sound 💾 Random “Blue Screen of Death” ✨ Cursor trail 🎵 Winamp-style music player 📝 Classic guestbook 🔢 Page-view counter
