Celebrity Sports Showdown

Electronic Arts

Overview

What started out as the spiritual successor to EA Playground on the Wii, Celebrity Sports Showdown was another collection of Sports mini games packaged up with a few friendly celebrity faces. This was another project that the Front End Design Services team (FEDS) worked on at EA, and I was fortunate enough to be a designer on the project.

User Interface

It was always a challenge designing UI for the Wii, with its need for large hit zones for buttons and a relatively small screen space, we opted to go big, chunky and fun for the art style off the UI which helped us play in to the need for big easily clickable buttons.
