Contest Brief

Hi All,

I own a small Indie game company and am always looking for new talent.
In this challenge you will be doing some UI / UX design, creating the GUI/HUD for my game.

The design is for an arcade platform shooter

I made a video for you guys to help explain everything :)

Tetyana R. Had a very good question? what kind of style am i actually looking for?
I found some other shoot m ups and gave them rating and reasoning behind it.

9/10 https://youtu.be/iPGuljWMlrM?t=12 Love this one, Very clean
6/10 https://youtu.be/iPGuljWMlrM?t=102 Its ok, but a bit basic and grey
8/10 https://youtu.be/iPGuljWMlrM?t=151 Its cool and clean, but still a bit basic
8/10 https://youtu.be/bKk87AFoHS8?t=54 Very clean could use a bit more color
7/10 https://youtu.be/bKk87AFoHS8?t=114 Its good, but i feel somethings are off, with color for example and complexity of icons
6/10 https://youtu.be/KjeVfkjd69E?t=21 (fits with the game, just not my style)
9/10 https://youtu.be/KjeVfkjd69E?t=110 love this one, maybe a bit tiny on the icons, but love the use of color while still being clean)
10/10 ... Yours!

Attached are two files:
1. Design mock-up for the GUI
2. Background image i used for the mockups.

The contest will be rated upon:
1. Following the instructions of the design document: mockup.pdf
2. Keeping in line with the art style of the game

    Perhaps it is better for this contest to be #sealed, in this way you will filter more freelancer who steal ideas.

    It is just an advice :)

      I think it's good to keep it unsealed. That way you can identify stolen art/designs. + i like your entry Pablo. Good luck!

    Hello. I have a question about existing game design.
    Are you going to leave the current background design which you have used is mockup? Cause it looks pretty unbalanced, the foreground, the background and the spaceship are made with completely a different styles. I wonder what style are you expecting for a GUI

      Hey great questions, i will try to provide more screenshots but i have to ask my developer how i can hide all the current GUI objects so it can take some time. The BG image is pure for overlay purposes.

      As for the style, you are totally correct. I need to show some inspiration of other games. Let me check out some other games so i can give good impression images. I will come back on this one

      Hi Pablo, I scouted you on another project so i thought i sent you an invite :)

      Please note its not mandatory to create the whole thing right away, this contest is more showcasing your skills and finding the right person for it, since UI design is a different kind of sport then normal graphic design. For example it might be better to draw a few sketches of designs and ask for feedback, and then working the best out rather then working it out completely right away.

      I will always let the contest run all the way through the end! Good luck!
