Space Invaders take Coca Cola?
This crazy new can design draws from two influences, the first being the popular 1980's Japanese video game 'Space Invaders', where the main focus of the game was to shoot and destroy pixelated aliens. This was the earliest shooting game and caused a shortage of coins in Japan due to its popularity (who knew?!). The second influence shares the same name, Space Invaders is the code name for the urban pixel artist known for pasting Space Invaders inspired art in cities all over the word, the sneaky work of this artist catches the eye of unsuspecting tourists everyday! So, designer Erin McGuire has taken these two ideas and brought them together to create a new Coca Cola can design. These are just theoretical designs, but its ironic to consider the world wide impact of Coke, the video game, and now the street artist taking over cities all around the world, and how they all just seem to fit together. It looks like pixels are taking over. Now, if only I could tell this to my professors the next time I hand in a pixelated image...
