Erwin Kho, Art Director & Art Lead, Geometric Interactive

Erwin Kho has a background in visual communication and for many years worked as a graphic designer and illustrator. In 2017 he moved to Denmark to work on Geometric Interactive’s first title, COCOON, for which he was responsible as art director and art lead. The game was released in September ’23 to critical acclaim. It won several awards and was also nominated at the Bafta Games Awards ’24 for Artistic Achievement.

In this talk Erwin will share how the visual language of COCOON was developed and how it was influenced by his previous illustrative work.
