A 3D video game box is gently bobbing up and down in space. The game is Mario 64. Below it are tabs for each face or side of the box, front, back, left, etc. Each of those tabs has a horizontally scrolling row of thumbnails of different versions of the box art to choose from. As different tabs are selected, the 3D box rotates to show that side and how the selected artwork will look. The user taps on the selected front cover and selects ‘auto adjust’ which adjusts the contrast and saturation of the brightly coloured cover.
A kind of net diagram of a 3D video game box, showing all faces of the 3D shape, with the box art. The game is Zelda: Majora’s Mask for Nintendo 64. It’s the lovely all green PAL/European version.
A 3D render of the box for Nintendo 64 game FIFA 99. The left end of the box where it’s opened has a big white sticker stuck over it with the words “SECURITY SECURITY”. The sticker covers part of the front face and part of the left side of the box. The box slowly rotates slightly showing it at different angles.

A horizontal carousel of several screens or ‘collections’ of videogames with titles like ‘Favourites’, ‘Playstations’, ‘SNES’ and ‘Racing. User swipes through these, starts to remove one of the collections, then opens the Playstations collection, making that collection of Playstation games zoom and fill the screen. One of the games is selected, and spins around as a 3D object. That game is dismissed, then the collection is dismissed, returning to the carousel of multiple collections.
A grid of videogame boxes from various consoles. A menu is opened and quickly switches between two views. A view named Tight has the boxes tightly spaced together and slightly overlapping, showing more on the screen at once. A view named Comfy has the boxes widely spaced and fewer on screen.
A grid of video game boxes. One of the boxes jumps out of the grid and gets bigger, showing its name ‘Astro Bot’ and details about it, 2024, PlayStation 5, PAL/EU. The box then shrinks back down in size and gently slides back into its starting position in the grid, with the box to its right slightly overlapping.
A 3D model of a dark grey iPhone on a black background. On the screen is a 3D model of a Nintendo Switch game case. The game is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As the iPhone rotates left and right, the game case rotates as a 3D object, showing the different angles of the box. The reflective part of the case shine as the rotation meets a certain point.
Screen recording of an iPhone app showing a grid of video game boxes. One of the boxes jumps out of the grid and gets bigger, then rotates as a 3D object, showing the different sides of the box.

A poster for R.I.P. Zola. Really important party. It’s a black and white painting in the background of a poodle holding in its mouth a basket full of kittens. The headline in neon green and is covering the dogs face so the O and A kind of look like its eyes. There are details about the gig like the venue in Nottingham. It’s on Saturday 29th November and there are 4 bands in the lineup. There are slivers of the headliner’s album or EP covers in the background, behind the old dog.
