Icon designs

12.05.2013:

Icon designs placed on Javier's favorite button design. We designed to make two versions of the weapon switch button, so that the player can actually see which weapon is active and which not.

Buttons

11.05.2013:

Here a first idea for a button design I tossed away instantly, because he want's half-transparent buttons. Also the icons on the buttons should be the main focus, so I went for a more simplified design. In the second image you see some analysis of already existing buttons looked at in current mobile games. And also the first concepts for Javier and some sketches =D
