Hello! Let me give you an overview of my situation. In my games I am in charge of building and UI design. I’d really like some tips on making images for GUIs or know how to make a good design. I have asked a few friends and got some information, I still came here for professional support. Finally, what software should I use to make UI images? I am currently using GIMP.
All the best, GalaxyWorld
STAY SAFE!
Software is up to preference but I personally use and recommend Photoshop CS6.
As for tips, make the icons the same size as the UI element would be in-game so it doesn’t skip detail.
Whenever you’re playing a game check out the UI design and if you like it challenge yourself to replicating it.
Try your hardest to not copy or trace other people’s work as it will make you a bad reputation.
That’s about it hope it helps
Honestly, the best place to get started with UI Design is Gravit Designer. It’s great, it’s simple, and best of all it’s free! You’ll have all the professional tools you need to create some awesome designs. If you like realistic designs, go with Photoshop. It’s a bit pricey though and it could possibly take some time to get used to the tools. However, it is also absolutely amazing.
Thanks Alphexus, that site is actually quite good! Thanks for the extra info LtB!
