Final Artworks [Screen Design]

Here are my final design of GUIs


Kids




















Kids love a simple, but cartoon-looking background. I prefer to make the GUI in the center position for easy navigation. This kind of GUI will be better if it used flash-based application because most kids would love some sort of interactivity and animation of the icons. For the navigation icons, they are bigger for easy clicking. I prefer to make a little less of images and graphics to prevent the messiness. For the graphics, little animations should give a good reaction for the kids to browse the GUI in very good mood.

* The original cartoon credited for Office Create company. The character is well known for children best video game, which is Cooking Mama.


Teenagers




















Since the teenagers love the science fiction (Sci-Fi) action games, I make my own illustration for my GUI background. The background shows a human figure in a futuristic, space suit and also features two human face, that generally give the info about the main characters of the game. What and who are the characters is all about, is what other people choices to play that particular game or not. This kind of GUI has a sci-fi theme, where the background is on the space, has a spaceship and the navigation buttons have some sort of metallic textures. There are no much of texts until the user clicks on the particular navigation page. Also, my idea of this GUI is it would be better if it features an animation on homepage. My illustration would be a flash-based animation, showing a little story about the sci-fi game.

Adults




















Adults would love the nostalgic moment. From this GUI, I make the reference of older games sprites that can be found on most arcade games, such as Space Invaders. The theme of the GUI is in space, much like Sci-fi theme, but not really into that. Most older games have the space theme, which is most likely that people love the idea of having a game for us to go into the space, so it would be good if I make it the space environment. The navigation is just a simple text, since adults are not really interest with the decorative icons; the only they care is to pick up and play. There is also an arcade cabinet that acts as an home icon, to visualize the nostalgic moment of where people spent their most times on arcade machines. With the 'Insert Coin' text, it is definitely gives a nostalgic moment about the arcade machine.
