Gamification for Cybersecurity Professionals
This red versus blue style game was created to challenge cybersecurity professionals, transforming the client’s existing classroom knowledge checks into a competitive digital game format. This shift better supported their hybrid and remote workforce.
I worded with the clients who strongly wanted to incorporate a "retro" visual themes (inspired by Tron and early tower defense games) and worked closely with 3D/VFX artists to ensure the experience had sufficient juice/game feel to remain highly engaging.
Role Expanded: Visual Design, and UI Production
Lead visual designer, responsible for collaborating with the client to translate their preferred visual theming into an effective UI scheme, and worked closely with a small team to ensure visual presentation, 3D, and VFX animation provided enough "juice" to keep the game fun and engaging.
Visual Direction: Translated the client's "retro" aesthetic into the core style guides for the game.
UI Production: Designed and implemented all final user interface assets.
UX Collaboration: Partnered with UX to define the core screen flows and user feedback systems.
Confidentiality Note: Projects for federal and sensitive clients may have confidentiality restrictions. If you encounter vague descriptions or obscured visuals, it is to ensure compliance with security protocols. Thank you for your understanding as you explore this work!
