Here are a few snapshots of the silkscreen poster I designed for Ernest Cline’s upcoming talk at Google’s campus.

Cline’s book, Ready Player One, is steeped in 80s references and video game culture. The book focuses on a group of gunters (think of them as treasure hunters) on a quest to get 3 keys. Acquisition of the keys would result in untold wealth. The notion of gathering the keys is born from the 80s adventure game titled…err…Adventure. With this in mind, I referenced the key shape from Adventure by building the form out of a Pac-Man board.

The linear aspect of the main image gave it a retro feel that harkened back to an age before the 80s. With that in mind, I designed a custom art deco inspired headline to compliment the linearity of the Pac-Man board.

This young man loves Ready Player One so much he decided to dress up as the book for Halloween this year. Coolest costume ever. Happy Halloween!

The Fan Contest to End All Fan Contests: Ernie Cline went all-in when it came to celebrating his novel Ready Player One’s paperback edition, announcing that he would be giving away a 1981 Deloren (complete with a Flux Capacitor) to the fan who finds a hidden clue embedded in his novel and beats three increasingly difficult video game challenges. 

And this week, that lucky winner picked up the keys from Ernie and drove off in the car of his dreams on G4’s X-Play.    

Ready Player One is Ernie Cline’s genre-busting debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed. So yeah, if the whole giving-away-an-Ecto-88 thing caught your attention, this is your book.
