Game-Style UI Designer Needed (Cinematic Battle Interface / Mobile App Look) - Contract to Hire

I’m building a competitive platform. This is NOT a typical website. This is a game-style experience. The interface must feel cinematic, immersive, and alive similar to high-end mobile games with HUD elements, glowing portals, and animated UI. I already have strong visual direction and concept images. I need a designer who can translate this into clean, production-ready UI. -------------------------------------- WHAT I NEED:

• Landing page (portal-based entry experience)
• Battle screen (2 avatars facing off, live score shifting in real time)
• Judge interface (scoring system with multiple categories)
• Challenge selection screens
• About / onboarding page
• Reusable UI system (buttons, cards, panels, glow effects)

-------------------------------------- STYLE DIRECTION:

• Dark, cinematic arena environment
• Gold, black, and purple color palette
• Clean and sharp — NOT overly grungy or messy
• High contrast, high readability
• Feels like a premium mobile game, not a SaaS dashboard

-------------------------------------- IMPORTANT: This project requires someone who understands GAME UI not just web design. The interface should feel:

• Alive (subtle animations, glowing elements, energy movement)
• Competitive (like a battle system)
• Premium (high-end, polished, intentional)

-------------------------------------- DELIVERABLES:

• Figma designs (organized, developer-ready)
• Core UI system / design language
• 3–5 key screens fully designed
• Interaction ideas (hover states, transitions, etc.)

-------------------------------------- TO APPLY: Please send:

• Game UI or HUD design examples
• Any animated or interactive UI work
• A quick explanation of how you would approach making this feel like a real game interface

-------------------------------------- This is the foundation of a larger platform, so strong performance can lead to ongoing work. Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
