Role Overview
Interface Designers are responsible for focusing on the game player’s experience and interaction with the game. Their goal is to make the player’s experience as intuitive as possible, in particular by making sure a game player can easily navigate menus, icons, and HUD’s (heads up displays). Interface Designers are responsible for developing common interface ergonomics, which includes the creation of broadcast style overlays for in-game presentation and functionality of the products. The Interface Designer will play a role in conceptualizing, designing, and creating individual 2D assets for the interface. Animation may also be required.
Interface Designers have strong artistic, typographic, and layout skills. They are able to develop innovative design solutions while following creative and art direction. A passion for design is mandatory.
What skills does EA look for??
Interface Designers possess a background in interface design (console, PC, CD-Rom, web). Ideally, they have experience in Broadcast Graphics, Corp Identity, and/or interactive/multimedia graphic design or interface/instructional design (ergonomics).
An Interface Designer’s portfolio must demonstrate a creative approach and style without sacrificing readability and flow of information. They must demonstrate a good eye for:
- Composition and layout
- Typography
- Color theory
From a technical standpoint, Interface Designers must have experience with Photoshop, Flash, and/or Illustrator. Nice to have skills include 3DS Max, Maya, Softimage/XSI, Premiere, Dreamweaver, and After Effects.
