Here is a font that i created to be used on the main menu screen for the Harry Potter FPS HUD
I have also included an image of a 3d model i created to be used on the main menu

Harry Potter Menu Ideas

Below are some sketches i have done showing rough layout ideas and GUI menu structures for the Harry Potter game.

Designing for the User HUD Project

We have been given our brief for this years project.
we are required to create a HUD and GUI for 2 different games. The first game is a Harry Potter game in the FPS genre. The second is a third person 3D game centered around the childrens books Meg and Mog.

My initial thoughts are about the 2 different projects are to try and use any first person footage from the films and overlay a HUD over the footage.
For the Meg and Mog game i think i might tty to create a rough level in Unity and then look at how to put a hud into it.

Examining HUDs

We examined various childrens video games and the huds and interfaces they use.

About

Home page
Home page opens on to a simple image of an idealised farm with a logo of Parsnip.com
Clicking on a Flash button moves the user to the page index.
Each section is represented by a graphic. basket for shop, telephone for contact details etc.
Clicking on the graphic takes you through to that section

Site Interaction
The angle of the site is that through the use of Flash the user will physically pick up their products from a basket containing the crops
This gives the user a feeling of picking their own food.
This also enforces the idea that the food is homegrown and organic.
