Redesigning an Old Favorite

Mass Effect is my favorite game of all time, absolutely no question.

But everyone who’s ever played Mass Effect 1 has struggled with a cognitive overload in its massively cluttered interface. As a way to flex my design skills, I decided to rebrand ME1 with a fresh and updated UI, focusing on subtle nods to its originals while letting the game shine. Below is a work in progress and evolving project with a lot of love, so please be patient as it grows! The game has only grown more dear to me as I’ve jumped into this project. I’ve been fine-tuning it to support accessibility from the ground up, and hope the new design reflects that.

From the UX to the type, I’ve handled it all and I look forward to developing it more.
