Conceptualization of Splash Art and Font in Stages

Stage 1 – Conceptualizing the idea of a fantasy UI art layout.

 

Thinking about a fantasy main menu, I’ve branched out some ideas that

quickly came to mind.  I circled the ones in red that seemed interesting to do.

Stage 2 – Refining the selected ideas.

Further brainstorming the elements

that were circled, I came up with a 

basic narrative and theme that’s enough

to spark some splash art and font ideas.

Stage 3 – Thumbnail layout iterations.

 

Stage 4 – Rough sketch composition iterations

I have made two sketches 

of how the splash may look.  

I then chose the first sketch.

Stage 5 – Main Menu Splashart COMPLETED

in this link.]

Stage 6 – Font [Header] Selection

In this stage, i went browsing on Adobe Fonts, looking for menu headers that will fit the splash art’s aethetic. 

I went with the first option.

Stage 7 – Font [Body] Selection

In this stage, i went browsing on Adobe Fonts, looking for menu body font that will fit the splash art’s aethetic. 

I went with the fifth option.
