Ghostbusters
Game User Interface
Design
The purpose of this project was to create a visual design experience for Sony’s Ghostbusters game on the Amazon Echo. Being a “voice first” product, any visual design acts as supporting features to the game design. It must convey a clear and concise user experience across diverse screen displays while maintaining the brand equity of the original Ghostbusters IP.

The Concept
“The Ghostbusters have appointed YOU to manage their team from a remote post utilizing a specialized program available to you only on the Amazon Echo.”

UI Design
The game interface was illustrated to fit into the "DIY junk-tech" motif of the original Ghostbusters paraphernalia. Dented, scratched and rusted materials were cobbled together with tape and mix-matched screws to create this new ghost-butt-kicking takeover on your Amazon Echo device.
