Graphic User Interface (GUI)

Project Description

For this project you will create a Graphic User Interface (GUI) for your game concept.

The Graphic User Interface should include things like:

• Health indicator

• Available lives

• Level indicator

• Maps

• Weapons

Benchmarks

Gather at least 3 benchmark images showing the style you are aiming for. All three should show the same visual style so I know where you are going for the final look of yours.

Sketches

Once your layout is approved, begin to sketch out your final GUI assets.

Color Final
