As part of a skills test, Playdom, an online casual games company, asked me to redesign the User Interface of their popular game Sorority Life.

I was given 24 hours to deliver my design of how the home page of the game that would improve the User Interface to the game. My only requirements were: (1) A top banner, (2) Status Bar, (3)Main Navigation, and (4) a Main Menu Graphic.

I decided I would concentrate on improving the UI by condensing features and navigation. Additionally, adding user updates and messaging to the home page would promote more community play. I also concluded that I would show my creativity by going in a completely different visual direction.

Using inspirations from the original game, The Sims, Fantasy Football and others, the team members felt many of my ideas were positive and impressed I would challenge myself in not relying on the existing aesthetic.
