Planned project proposal including MoSCoW analysis, Information Architecture planning to understand scope, and one-sheets for project summary.

Researched into established UI/UX principles and visual design theory to inform the redesign. This included concepts such as Gestalt principles, Gutenberg's Diagram, visual hierarchy, and colour theory, helping guide my design decisions.

Planning and Project Proposal

Created visual style sheets to guide UI art

Created iterations of assets including elements such as buttons, containers, and icons using Figma.

Used Figma to make wireframes, explored layout and user flow before implementing initial UI prototypes in UE5.

Multiple variations of menus were made, and then analysed for pros/cons, and with feedback from peers, chosen designs were taken forward for implementation. Project scope at this stage was also adjusted to meet deadlines while ensuring the onboarding user flow was fully completed.
