Virutalgirl, a member of our very own Destructoid Forums, recently posted the results of a long-term timeline project for her graphic design class. The assignment? To create a three-dimensional display that chronicles the timeline of something in popular culture. Because Virtualgirl is effing awesome, she chose Nintendo. The results of her considerable labors (over fifty hours and $250) can be viewed after the jump. According to Virtualgirl, the exact assignment description reads: “Design a 2 and 3-dimensional display that chronicles the history of a people, product, event or place (some examples: Irish Migration in the 19th Century; Portable Sound: from the Transistor Radio to the MP3; etc.). This project will involve some ‘lite’ research (I should have read this again before I started…). This project will have height, width and depth, and the viewer will not have a fixed relationship with the display. Find a way to arrange the graphics so the viewer understands the story and the sequence of events." What resulted was a fantastically professional-looking DVD display stand with timeline information smothered all over it. This thing is basically a mobile orgy of Nintendo information (the best kind of orgy there is). As always, you can hit the forums and compliment her work, or just hit the comments.

This is some awesome stuff.
From one designer to another, this is kickass. Amazing work, VG.
i told you once, ill tell you again. i pissed myself with liquid awsome.
kick ass stuff!
Great job. It looks very professional.
i have a question, what is that avatar that Reverend Anthony has? Is it Takeshi Kitano?
That is great. Awesome work!
Jesus fuck! I'd have her babies based on this project alone, and totally discounting the fact that she's a fox.
Epic Win.
good job! my curiosity has been piqued. I'd love to read through it. BTW I think that is an avatar of Beat.
FTFW (For The Fucking Win)
This is SOOOOOO cool!!!! thanks for putting it on the front page!!!
Homegirl rocked it
Awesome job, Virtualgirl!
W00tastic!
Wow. That is seriously awesome. What excellent work!
I wish I was that motivated when I went to school
JSun:
Yes.
Awesomecellentastic! Yes....that just happened! I seriously love this. Great Job VirtualGirl.
Takeshi Kitano FTFW!!!
Bravo! Maybe Gamestop should hire her to do those fake used game inserts, instead of that talentless douche that put those weird anime/Gorillaz ripoff art all over everything.
Seriously, who thought those would sell caseless games?
She is hot, but shes no Nex...
oooooooo----another miyamoto signature! i just got him to sign my DS!!!
why does his signature look like boobs?
I personally thought it looked like a Gotta Have It-sized Birthday Cake Remix from Coldstone. I guess that reveals a bit about our individual sexual preferences, eh Virtual?
Fantastic work, it looks spectacular.
Is there someplace where the pictures are posted in a higher resolution though? Years of focusing on the chunky pea-soup colored GameBoy have reduced my left eye to a somewhat useless meat blob, and I'd really like to read what was written on the side of the display and the cases and so on.
great project.
though, on the picture with all the consoles in black 'n white i see a console between the N64(with discdrive) and the Gamecube that I can't seem to reconize, it looks a bit like a Dreamcast or a Xbox.
does annyone know that console?
what no picture/mention of the U-force for the nes?
Mr. Haley: Yes, it is clear now, I prefer a hot woman to your Ice cream...lol
Qalamari: no prob, I will post the larger files on flickr and send you the link...
Vyruz: Thats the Nintendo iQue from China...the cartridges go straight in to the controller, my bad on making the reciever part large enough to be a console...
Fetusmilk: your name freaks me out...I tried, but the u-force ended up looking like battleship...
YAY Meggerz!!!! That is pretty amazingly awesome. You are a supastah to the max my friend. :p Loverz you.
nice.
the only thing i'd object to is showing the Power Glove, which Nintendo had nothing to do with.
w00t. Got the project back today! 97% FTW!
