š Ubisoft NEXTĀ UI Design
Fictional console game UI created as a personal project. Based on the challenge brief from Ubisoft Toronto NEXT 2019 which outlined the theme and specific elements. This was my first attempt at a modern console game UI (abilities screen and HUD).
Thank you goes to Ann Grin for letting me use her 3D model.
š Ā Starting point
With the given theme of 'Punk Resistance in the year 2080', I started by collecting mood board/reference images for inspiration before heading on to creating some wireframes.
While I'm very glad with the project's end-result, I feel these wireframes could certainly be better by iterating further towards a more mid-fidelity level. I also referenced UI from God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Destiny 2, Detroit: Become Human, and Hitman 2 (2018).

š Ā Icons
Creating the icons for the various abilities and HUD navigation was very enjoyable! It was particularly a challenge to make the HUD icons suitable for both night and day lighting, though I think they turned out well.

š Ā Iteration
Through this project, I found IĀ feel best when (rapid) iterating. After getting to a certain point with the abilities screen, it felt there was at least one major iteration left. So I 'broke' the design, while keeping the overall layout the same, which lead to the project's end result.
