Scaling the Design

Epic Games Version: See, it stretches....

Forum Graphics : Unreal Championship 2
Client: Epic Games · 2005

I was contracted to create graphics for the brand-new Unreal Championship forums for Epic Games, the creators of the Unreal gaming franchise. I was to implement the basic template, choose colours, and create graphics which would essential bracket the forum itself. Originally, I had a fixed width design implemented with graphic rollovers for navigation. However, when the test forums went up, it was soon determined that the users didn't use the graphical navigation nearly as much as the textual navigation, and what they really wanted was a variable width forum that stretched across most of the page. So the next design was made so that it could stretch from about 750 pixels wide to an infinite width if so desired.

There were two variations on the main design created: one for the Unreal Championship forums and one for the Epic forums in general. I picked teal tones for UC2's forum and blue ones for the Epic forums, and picked appropriate characters and backgrounds to integrate into each design.

Technically this isn't web design, per se, but I included it in that category as it was a user interface of sorts designed to be shown on-screen.
