• Gears of War – Third Person UI

    This design was a small side project. I always want to make the UI of a shooter game and since third person is also quite interesting i took Gears of War and created my own ui for it. It is just a peak and a early iteration of the UI. The goal was to create a more focus centered interface. The icons and symbols are not finished but it gives an idea what the final goal is. The image footage used for this mockup was taken from Epic Games.
