Overview

Forza Motorsport 7 is a racing video game serving as the tenth installment in the Forza Franchise. It was the launch title for the XBOX ONE X and one of the first to take advantage of the console’s native 4K resolution. As a member of the design team, I was responsible for scripting, skinning and implementing the HUD Graphics and Animations – as well as various areas of the game’s user interface.

HUD Controls

Reskinning the Forza 7 HUD (Heads Up Display) from Forza 6 came with some challanges. One of the game’s features was that at times during a race, the weather could change. Various controls would need to compensate for the weather change.

UI Screens

The HUD was my main area of ownership. But I reskinned various areas of the game’s user interface including the Pit Stop UI, Track Selection, Game Replays, Photo Galleries, Splash and Loading Screens.
