About this Project

Social Work Simulator needed different variations of promotional materials in for the game to be officially published on Meta. It required a "Hero Image" and three different size variations of it. It also required multiple screenshots as well, showcasing different aspects of the video game.

My Work

I was tasked to create Hero Images in different sizes for the Meta store. However, there were no existing branding guidelines for this project at this time, no logos or any existing branding outside of university branding guidelines. As a result, I had to create original material that still fit into the UI that already existed in the game, stick to the University guidelines, and also meeting the employer's request.
Given these parameters I had to follow, I chose to create a simple, standard design for the logo. This meant that it fit the WVU Branding guidelines fit with the UI that already existed in game, and was relatively simple to recreate. If I were to do this again now, I would like have gone for a more interesting font, and maybe try to come up with a unique, recognizable symbol for the game, however, I was not tasked with this and as a result did not take such an initiative.

I formatted the Hero images to showcase two of the primary characters in the game, and showcase the office in the background.
