A video introduction of the Graphic User Interface part of the project

The Graphic User Interface can include things like:

Buttons for navigation or actions
Icons for game assets
Badges/Stickers for Achievements
Health indicator
Available lives
Inventory (You could add your props here)
Level indicator
Maps
Weapons Section
Available Ammo

Design Considerations

Leave room to play
Put the buttons where the fingers hold the device
Universal Design for contrast needs to be considered
User test the buttons if it's hard to understand use text too

Deliverables:

3 Benchmarks

Gather 3 benchmark images showing the style you are aiming for.

2 Thumbnails

Sketch out 2 different GUI layout options.

2 Sketches

Once your layouts are approved, begin to sketch out your final GUI assets.

2 Color and form

Once your GUI assets are approved, begin to create the final color graphic assets using either Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.
Use your environment design as your background for the GUI
Add your props to the image if you are doing an inventory selection screen
