The Origin

There was a kid in his early teens, passionate about almost every digital thing he could encounter. He stumbled upon a game called "Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD" and got hooked onto it. He got himself a skateboard and would go out every night to learn anything and everything he could, from rail grinds to toe flips.

Time passed, the skateboard broke, and his passion got sidelined in the fast-paced grind of career building. But that kid never left his mind.

Then, one fine day, an opportunity knocked on his door: 'As a UI/UX Designer, create an engaging main menu themed for an Arcade Skateboarding Game.'

"Tony Hawk Pro Skater" was downloaded again, the past was relived, and 'Sk4t3 The Game' was given a name.

Idea & Execution

Loosely inspired by creative main menu style of 'NFS Unbound' & base of 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD'.

Background has been designed using After Effects and for interactions, Figma has been used.

Playlist & Selection Of Music

As game builds up, a compelling soundtrack enhances gameplay by setting mood, building immersion, and elevating emotions, making the gaming experience unforgettable.

Hence, as part of building good user experience, songs selected apart from Dream on by Aerosmith were as mentioned below:

1. "Ace of Spades" by Motörhead

2. "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down

3. "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks

4. "Blitzkrieg Bop" by Ramones

5. "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour

6. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana

7. "Back in Black" by AC/DC

8. "Holiday" by Vampire Weekend

9. "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters

10. "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses

11. "All the Small Things" by Blink-182

12. "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit

13. "Dark Necessities" by RHCP

14. "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath

15. "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes

Fun fact: That kid order a new skateboard after finishing the design...

Really appreciate your attention :)
