Gee's Love For Games Poster

Remember that colorfully illustrated game controllers/media poster from German magazine GEE? I suggested before to contact graphic designer Axel Pfaender to purchase a print for your own walls, but he recently set up a personal online shop where you can order one yourself.

The 21"x33" poster will ship to you folded, as it's original overstock from computer game magazine's archives. Behind the vibrant art, you'll see interviews (in German) with industry luminaries like Shigeru Miyamoto and Peter Molyneux.

Also related to Pfaender's work, GameSetWatch reader Geena let us know that there's now a wallpaper version of the artist's magnificent video game vector piece that was featured on the September 2009 cover of Gee. You can grab those desktop backgrounds at the magazine's official blog.

Comments

As much as I love this art, I have to say something. Why would one save a 3-color, vector art, 1920x1200 image as a super-compressed jpg? There are artifacts all over that thing, making it not very suitable as a wallpaper.

I might have to grab one of those posters though.
