Welcome to the Finale of Mother 3
Existing Competition
Goal Statement:
My goal for this site was to learn more about video game sites and their purpose and reasoning when it comes to launching a video game site and designing one that fit with Nintendo's style and aesthetic.
Personas
1. Little Jimmy: 13 years, just got his first Nintendo switch and is allowed to play desktop video games, but wants to know more about the game characters.
2. Theodore: 28 years, knows everything about the Mother series, wants to explore the site and meet the characters.
3. Megan: 18 years, has experience with video games (gamer), wants to know about Mother 3.
Sketches (3 directions
The three directions I went with did not turn out how I began once designing, especially in the thought process and thinking stage and about why certain things should go where they are. This helped me to pay more close attention to things like conventions, and storytelling and what purpose I want to give it.
Card Sorting
I had several friends experiment with my card sorting study which gave me a lot of insight into what a user thinks about when navigating through a site. This helped me to organize my content wisely and be particular on the word choice I use. Below is the link to the results of my study:
Mapping
Wireframe
This had to be the most wire-framing and component-making I have ever done.
My Artwork
I wanted to design something from scratch to add to the site so I designed the sunflowers similar from the game through the site as they also play a significant symbol in it.
Screens
Assests
Mockups
