VG Pocket Caplet and Tablet
Designed By - Stuart Karten Design

The VG Pocket Tablet and Caplet are portable handheld gaming devices pre-programmed with arcade classics. The devices translate the lure of the arcade into the palm of the hand with bright LCD screens and powerful speakers. The Caplet and Tablet achieve mass appeal with their colorful, retro-inspired designs.

Visual Design Analysis
Line The VG embodies strong and bold lines true to the design of the 1970's.
Shape The solid form adds the classic feel of an arcade game and also is reminiscent of a 70's graphic.
Colour Vermilion and lime are truly retro colours which scream authentic arcade gaming experience.

Balance The VG offers a great balance between vintage graphics and retro styling. The two work complimentary to each other to create a highly authentic mix of old stlye and new technology.

Scale Good scale for hand held gaming, bulky inflated feel gives a heft to the unit while still remaining compact enough not to be fidgety. Proportions Very evenly distributed and symetrical.
