🏙️ Cities: Skylines UI Redesign
As a fan of the city-building game, Cities: Skylines, I decided to try my own take on its interface (main menu and HUD). This was great practice at icon design and an attempt to create something lighter (and hopefully more readable).
🏁 Starting point
Wanting a fairly clean and simple look, I referenced games such as Battlefield V, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Super Mario Odyssey, and Firewatch. The wireframes were fairly quick to create, though if I were to do this project again, I would iteration further to a medium fidelity.

💎 Icons
Giving my own take on the game's icon, I attempted to keep the treatment based on functionality. For example, next to values such as population and industry demand level, is a flat white or grey icon. While clickable icon have more variation, with colours to reflect.

With a basic wireframe, I iterated to get a look and feel I was happy with.
