Multi Award Winning United Kingdom Designer

Who wouldn't want to explore galaxies on their phone? That's exactly what I aimed for with the design of a new space game's user interface (UI).

The Goal: Make the game's controls and menus as fun and easy to use as space travel itself!

The Focus:

• Eye-Catching Space: Design a cool-looking UI that makes players want to play and keeps them coming back.
• Easy to Use: Make the controls clear and simple, no matter how new you are to games.
• Space Vibes All Around: Keep the space theme strong throughout the entire game.
• Runs Smoothly: Make sure the UI works perfectly on any phone.

The Design Journey:

1. Planning the Look: I came up with a futuristic, adventurous style that matches the excitement of space exploration. Think rockets, planets, stars, and a dark space background.
2. Colors & Fonts: I used dark colours to show the vastness of space, with bright colours for buttons and important things so they're easy to see. I picked clean, modern fonts that are easy to read and fit the space theme.
   • Main Colors: Dark shades of black and gray
   • Highlight Colors: Bright reds, blues, and greens for buttons
   • Text Fonts: Modern fonts with no frills for easy reading

3.Main Screens:

• Start Screen: The game's name "Eclipse Expedition" pops against a space scene with asteroids, setting the mood and grabbing attention.
• Home Screen: A simple "Tap to Play" button invites players to begin their adventure. A cool rocket on a planet's surface hints at the fun to come. Your score is also shown here.
• Game Screen: This screen keeps things simple so you can focus on the game. You'll see your rocket, your score at the top, and clear instructions that tell you what to do (like "Hold!").

Overcoming Challenges:

• Cool Graphics, Fast Game: I used special tricks to make the graphics look amazing without slowing down the game.
• Keeping Players Engaged: I mixed exciting visuals with easy-to-use controls. Sound effects and animations help you feel like you're really in the game.
• Staying Consistent: I used the same colors, fonts, and space pictures throughout the game to make everything feel connected.

The Success:

Designing this UI was a great way to show off my skills in creating user-friendly and visually appealing interfaces. The final product is a fun and easy-to-use game that brings the thrill of space exploration to your fingertips. This project proves that good design can make a big difference in mobile games!
