UI/UX Art: Madden NFL 13
EA Sports
Orlando, FL
My responsibilities as a UI artist on Madden NFL 13 included creating a broadcast package that emulated the CBS Sports NFL Broadcast experience. After compiling footage from the prior season's broadcasts, I was able to create a package that utilized similar elements such as their stat screens, pre and post game graphics, lower third graphics and transitions.
