Retro Gaming Interfaces
Description
Retro game interfaces rely on a few strict rules, and this mini-course teaches them. Ten PDF lessons begin with retro gaming aesthetics and the fundamentals of pixel art for UI design, then cover colour theory with limited palettes and typography for retro screens.
Later lessons build basic UI components and navigation, visual hierarchy and feedback, themes and styles, and the animation of interface elements. You then assemble complete menu systems in a final project. Exercises appear in nine lessons. After reading, you should be able to design a small, consistent retro-style menu from scratch.
Who it is for: hobbyist designers and indie game makers who like classic pixel-style interfaces.
