ASSIGNMENT 01: 3 GAME ARTISTS/DESIGNERS

Here are three of the Game Designers that are doing the work that I want to do when I graduate:



Shigeru Miyamoto

He originally studied industrial design and later made cabinets and housing for arcade games. He was hired by Nintendo to make there first coin operated game and has been with the company since. He has a knack for turning hobbies into great games. He is the creator of Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Mario, Starfox, Pikmin, and many other games.



Ken Levine
Game Designer/ Producer for Irrational Games
He studied drama at Vassar College in New York. He was hired by Looking Glass Studios after responding to an ad placed in a gaming magazine. At Looking Glass Studios he worked on Thief: The Drak Project and System Shock 2. He later founded Irrational Games where he helped create Bioshock.



Alexey Pajitnov
Game Creator and founder of The Tetris Company
He started as an artificial intelligence programmer in Russia. He had always liked making puzzles and board games and one day he decided to program Tetris on a Program Data Processor and ported it to a PC. He continues to make puzzle games today, with Hexic being his most recent game.
