SKYLANDERS: SUPERCHARGERS

UI ARTIST - Xbox One (2015)

Developed from 2013 to 2015, SuperChargers sought to reinvent the UI of Skylanders games. For menu screens, we created a look based around enchanted ephemera - living magical cards and paper - which would float and bob, reacting to what happened around them. In managing and customizing vehicles, this approach focused on blueprints.

I drove this style development, creating the images below, patterns and color language for our cards, animated mockups of transitions, and many final assets. I also designed and animated the gameplay HUD and other related systems. If you'd like to read more about designing process for the HUD, check out this article.

This design summarizes a player's performance against a number of objectives, and awards points toward their overall Portal Master Rank. The stars above each card fill with light in proportion to their completion, and brilliantly flare to full brightness once achieved.

Created as a final visual proof of style, and guide for implementation.

The carousel of cards across the bottom center provide access to deeper information about your current gameplay, team, and collection. The card in the top right shows your current active objective.
