SYMI – PERSONAL PROJECT
Moodboards Mockups
Symi is a fictional game concept and personal project, inspired by a souvenir gift that I received from my sister.
As a self-confessed crazy cat lady, I couldn’t pass up the chance to create a project based on this charming coaster. This project originally started as a website landing page for a fictional game set on the Greek island of Symi; steeped in Greek Mythology and, of course, featuring some fun feline characters!
This year I decided to take this project one step further and create some UI mockups for the game itself…
Moodboards
I began with moodboards exploring Greek culture – from architecture and art to mythology. Once I had settled on a direction for the art style, I then moved onto investigating potential UI screen styles based on existing games, and defining the colour palette.

MockupS
With my art style and colour palette in place, I created several high fidelity mockups, showcasing a variety of key screens throughout the game. Symi is a puzzle and exploration game, so I focussed on key screens and UI features that would help the player navigate the world and keep track of their discoveries.
