Board Game UI

Description

Board game interfaces must be readable at a glance, whether they appear on a table or a screen. These fourteen PDF lessons begin with UI fundamentals and design principles, then cover wireframing, prototyping and navigation.

Further lessons look at color and visual hierarchy, typography, icons and symbol systems, and player feedback and interaction design. You also read about testing and iterating, patterns for complex games, cross-platform concerns, building a portfolio, and a final project. The PDFs include a large number of exercises, tables and templates. Each lesson explains the reasoning behind a choice as well as the choice itself.

Who it is for: designers and game hobbyists who want to design clear interfaces for board games.
