Main Menu Art

For the main menu I needed to know what the theme of the game will be. I choose to make a pixelated fantasy. Now knowing the art style I used photoshop to put together a draft for what I would like the menu to look like.

I started with the buttons, working out what buttons I wanted and the features that they will do. I wanted the button to imitate wooden signs. Placing the buttons on the left side of the screen makes more room for the background art and having the buttons hanging off each other, for future plans to have the sign animated, so when the game starts the sign will fall into the frame from the top and slightly swing back and forth to simulate the wind blowing it.

For background art I choose to use a dragon as it well known for it being fantasy, with a place hold name for the game above it.

This is a place holder image for the game so that I can start making the menu functional.
