Blog #028 - Dragon Age 2 Design, Original DS, Pokemon

So, as I have mentioned in all of my blogs I've been doing a design a day since January and planning to keep it up for a whole year. I do a ton of videogame related designs so check out my previous blogs on here or my year in design blog here
  

Dragon Age 2

Today I did a design inspired by Dragon Age 2's loading screens. I find them very attractive and I like how they use a very dark blurred foreground and then a glyph on a wall behind that. Check it out at the bottom of the blog.Really enjoying the game so far. Not as much as DA:O, but that is one of my favourite games of all time. I can't expect to top that.  

Anyway, here is the design:     View Higher Res Here

I always like comments and feedback, so lets here it. Also, please check out my previous blogs. I have lots of my videogame designs on there and love to hear what people think. 
 

Nintendo DS and Pokemon

Today I managed to get my best friend's original DS. He died last summer and since then his family have been sorting out his stuff. They gave me one of his Chaos Emerald replicas after the funeral and now I have his original DS. He covered it in Sonic stickers because he was upset (he was 21 too... never grew out of it :p)

I must have forgotten, but I'm amazed at what a crappy piece of hardware the original DS is. There is nothing attractive about the form factor or design, it's bulky and the screen quality is pretty terrible. They came a long way with the DS Lite. I also started playing Pokemon White and I love it. I honestly dont care about gameplay changes. They have added some nice aesthetic touches that make it a more pleasant experience, especially in battle. Feels more dynamic.
