Hard Press
During my game interface studies at university, I created a Front-End Menu and HUD for a fictional point-click adventure game. It was designed to be similar to the popular 2D animated adventure games, but with a Dieselpunk Noir theme. It was created for the PEGI 12+ age rating and used a cartoon stylisation for the imagery.
Scenario
The setting is in a Dieselpunk Noir New York, during the second world war. The main character is extremely patriotic and wanted to enlist in the army. He failed the height requirement, so he became a reporter. He aspires to prove his worth and get his big scoop for fame a glory.
While trying to get some snap shots of some dame in her dressing room, he stumbled onto a plot by some Nazi spies. He unfortunately thought that would be a good time to take a snapshot, which placed him in his current predicament...
For the imagery used in the Front-End Menu interface, I used dark colours, greens, browns, black shadows, silhouettes and
some desaturated colours. I also used neon lights to mimic most noir movies.

For imagery in the HUD inetrface, I used many foreground silhouettes, sparse
lighting, greens and browns, to produce an accurate noir colour pallet.
