Test Your Fate: Visual Research Design Manuals

Upon researching pinball machine manuals I've explored design publications and manuals to identify a more considered approach to the layout and communication of information targeted towards a design based audience. Many follow a simple grid system allowing for a minimalistic design, centring the focus on the information. The use of colour plays an important role as it allows the publications to stand out, giving them character compared to those simply using black and white. This grid/structured approach would be interesting to implement within a pinball machine to see if the minimalistic aesthetic would work within an energetic and playful setting. This implementation of structure may help with the implementation of the holes and information that will be featured alongside such as job role or obstacle.
