Colour theory..

For a long time I've been trying to find a 'global' look that would fit all menu screens, and I think I'm close now..

The challenge has been to keep it uncluttered yet full of vital information and also easy to navigate through using a gamepad and/or mouse. I will not know whether I've been truly succesfull or not until we have it all implemented and tested - and talking from experience there's bound to be some changes. Here's a preview of the menu designs for the 'line up' and 'control' screens:

The green background and the red menu buttons should cancel eachother out as they're at opposite ends of the colour wheel. Together your mind should read them as grey if I've understood the colour theory correctly that is.. (I probably haven't)..

The black bars at the top of each menu-strip is neutral to any colour that might be exposed on top of it, and its also very bold and dymanic - especially combined with the red and orange colours. I initially planned to have a main colour associated with each team (Brazil would be yellow, Italy blue and England white) but I found it impossible to design a colour layout that would fit all these colours - especially if two teams were to have identical main colours...

So, instead I opted for a white/black combination, where white is the team on the left and black is for the team on the right.

I'd love to hear what you think of all this colour theory, hopefully its vibrant and dynamic yet not too confusing to look at and easy on the eyes at the same time.. icon_wink
