Free Proffesional UI look
Hi, Im looking to build a game with a clean non-games like look. I imagined i could simply import some assets but there doesn't seem to be any. Then i thought someone like apple might have a collection of their icons you can download and use to ensure a common theme but i cant find anything like that. What are the options for someone with no art skills who needs a basic UI a bit more professional looking than the Unity default?
You don't need good art skills to make something look good. Dont sell yourself short there.
There are probably asset packs on the Asset store or around the web that can help you with this but should you wish to create your own you just need to keep it consistent. The trouble you may find with downloading assets for this is licensing issues.
The classic styling for Professional/Business/Industrial related things include shading around your elements, bevel edges, thin outlines etc. You just need to make sure that each group of elements must have the same styling. e.g All buttons have a bottom-right shadow behind them whilst all button containers have a particular outline. Its all your own choice.
Don't use bright colours. Choose older type fonts ins$$anonymous$$d of comic or over-stylised ones.
Spend a day poking around in GI$$anonymous$$P or equivalent program and you'll quickly find a workflow.
"There doesn't seem to be any" Really? Because Auntie Google gives me loads! You don't need UI assets designed specifically for Unity - you can use any PSD/PNG/whatever icons and gradients you want. Like this, for example: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/web-mobile-gui-sets/
Hey here are some resources that helped me:
$$anonymous$$aterial Icons from google: https://material.io/tools/icons/
Color scheme inspirations (Adobe Color): https://color.adobe.com/de/search?q=professional
Fonts from google: https://fonts.google.com/ I would recommend Roboto or OpenSans for a clean and professional look.
If you go for a flat UI design you can simply use standard Images without sprites. A lot of modern design is based on unicolored rects anyway.
If you need rounded rects and gradients I would like to recommend you my assets (Warning: these are not free): Procedural UI Image, UI Gradient
Hope this helps!
