As the Art Director and Lead Visual Designer of Words of Wonders, I am excited to share the creative process behind our seasonal UI transformations. This particular project features the Autumn Theme for the main menu, designed to provide an immersive and atmospheric experience for millions of players.
My contributions to this project include:
Art Direction & UI Design: Full conceptualization and execution of the general interface, ensuring a seamless balance between functionality and seasonal aesthetics.
Photo Manipulation: Crafted the background scenery through advanced photo manipulation techniques to achieve the signature WOW look.
2D Cell Animation: All bird animations were hand-drawn (2D Cell animation) to add a touch of organic life to the environment.
Technical Animation & VFX: Managed all environmental movements and particle effects directly within Unity. No third-party assets were used; every leaf flutter and light shimmer was custom-built.
Unity Integration: Implementation of all UI elements and animations, optimizing visual fidelity without compromising performance.
Tools used: Photoshop, Unity
