STAR WATCH

I art directed this series in full, from theme through release. The two artists on project and I had a blast brainstorming a heavy, fiery mood board and style guide that convinced the game designer to pivot from a fairy theme to this volcano theme (we still nod to the fairies in the character symbols). Together we devised the heavily fiery-orange symbol sets to isolate and differentiate the chase symbol - the cyan stars - and the unique conical volcano wheel. A fun compositional challenge, we used the scene to frame the wheel, reserved the highest contrast for the reels and meters, and used distinctly different silhouettes across the symbols to ensure distinction despite the similar colors. We achieved a different yet appealing presentation that remains one of Konami’s most successful series.
