This game was created by our intern developers. The idea was to create a game for the Apple Watch that appealed to people who play arcade games or were fond of computer games in the 80’s. I was asked to help guide the design side of the app by creating icons and coming up with the style guide for the developers to follow.
I created the icons by sticking to squares. I wanted no perfect curves as this did not feel in fitting with the theme. For the colours I looked into those used in arcade games. They were very prominent and eye-catching so I kept that feel by using near-neon colours.
This was a new challenge for me as I’ve not worked on an Apple Watch app before. It gave me an in-depth insight into the layout, sizing and specifications I would need to consider for future apps. It was interesting to get a feel for what the future may hold for apps on new devices.
