Character Creation

I've been thinking of ideas for the character creation screen. I've done a few but Chris has beaten me to it with a superior design. I'll put mine up anyway, I found it very difficult to make a character for the player to dress, as it will have to be consistent with any of the symbols made. A realistic person wearing cartoon clothes may look odd and visa versa so I've left it as a manikin for the time being. I wouldn't use this in a final design its just as a place holder whilst I think of a character style.

The idea on all of them is, the player clicks a body part (the orange button) this opens up categories next to the button, ie if you click head, it opens sideways to reveal, sunglasses, hair, facial hair etc. Once you click one of these categories the items available and or options available appear in a box down below and you can click and drag these on to your character.

Mock up 1 is a simple design with the names going round the buttons

Mock up 2 is the same design as 1 but with the no category selected, when a cat is selected it has a glow around it and the items appear in the box as described above.

Mock up 3 is similar to the top 2 but with a reflective look and a more conservative labeling.

Mock up 4 is same layout but made to look stitched thought this was a bit different and a different way of looking at "creation" more hands on, especially as we're hopefully having it drag and drop, but that's my thoughts not the view of the group. A similar design to this is making the different items and man look like you can cut them out as suggested by Liam in last week's meeting.
