Visual design
Task
Pets Live was one the first mobile games for the iPhone and Android. The very limited abilities of the phone combined with a user base new to Smartphone gaming meant a simple and intuitive approach was needed. The early stage game was entirely text based and so needed a visual identity and graphical user interface.
Concept & Solution
The overall approach chosen was to mimic the web ‘link’ interface, intuitive to users from their PC experience. Taking inspiration from Pokemon - a reference point familiar and appealing to gamers - I designed overall visual concept, created design mockups and developed a style guide for proper implementation of mobile RPG game. This included 100+ icons-illustrations, splash screens, promotional banners, etc. The whole project was completed within 2.5 months and "Pets Live" reached #1 in the App store.
