My main tasks for this projects were setting the UI’s visual language, creating new elements, and adapting the old UI for the remaster of the 2nd part and Special Edition of this beloved franchise.

We were always working with the aim to be respectful to the franchise and all its pirate clichés within the menus and HUD. We tried to enhance not only on those clichés, but also color saturation and the cartoony feel of the game, playing along with the most colorful and playful aspects of the franchise.

Even though the team tried to be as faithful to the original as possible, some features of the game were redesigned together with the need to adapt to different platforms, which lead into the creation of a lot of new UI and presentation elements.

Months after Monkey Island 2’s release a Special Edition of Monkey Island containing the remasters for the first and second games was released in different platforms. This version contained some new features that needed to be designed.
