CHARACTER CREATION UI REDESIGN
My goal was to design a more visual, but simple, UI for a character creation screen in Minecraft.
A screen where players can make edits to skins live within the window. I designed the icons/buttons and used an existing font to match the Minecraft style. Some buttons toggle and some are activated. The player can select from existing skins or upload new ones. Similar to the existing character options screen, the player can toggle certain skin items on/off. They can also make color and brightness adjustments to each skin section. Every adjustment is reflected live within the character creator screen.
CHARACTER SKINS
CHARACTER SKINS
I started the project by making new skins for a few characters. I wanted to show a selection of pre-loaded skins for the player to choose from within the creator screen. I made skins for a block Bernie, Hillary, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I used the existing Steve skin for the first screen, as a brand new player (or Steve fan) would see upon accessing the character creator. I also created multiple skins for the RBG character that included “hats” of varied colors. I used them to show the process of a player activating and editing the color of a “hat”.

3D HILLARY AND BERNIE
Using 3DS Max, I modeled, lit, and rendered a 3D Minecraft version of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. I played with more detailed texture for Hillary and gave Bernie the classic chunky pixel style.
