Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
Interactive & Game design
Project Overview
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts looked to create an interactive game for an upcoming installation in their Interactive Gallery Exhibit. The space is for Ancient Egypt. The project focuses on decoding hieroglyphics.
The exhibit includes two 55” touchscreens mounted on a wall, where children and adults can have a fun interaction and introduction to hieroglyphics. Visitors play “hangman” to answer trivia questions about life in Ancient Egypt using hieroglyphics. An animated version of the exhibition’s mascot, Cleo, reacts to the accuracy of visitors’ answers.
My Role
I worked closely with the head designer to refine the visual design, contributed charming illustrations that harmonized with the overall design aesthetic and handled asset production to make it easy for the developer to incorporate them into the app. In the end, I did QA regarding usability and technical issues.
