Short Exercise: Visual Design of Games

 

Throughout Clash Royale, cohesive graphic design elements are employed to create the feeling of entering another world. This is done through an art style that makes its way into character design, font choice, animations, and feedback. Nothing about Clash Royale feels like it doesn’t mesh with the overall universe being created. Along with this feeling of the magic circle, effective graphic design makes the gameplay and overall UX feel intuitive. For example, each of the cards at the bottom are clearly all of the same type with the necessary info being presented (what card it is, how much elixir it requires, and whether it is available yet). The same is true in the main menu with action items being colored a goldish yellow, less necessary info being layered in separate flows, and the most essential info being available at all times.
