STOPGAME mobile concept [Part 1]

Hello, lovers of the game portal Stopgame. I don’t know how for you, but for me this game portal is of great value, and in general, I consider it almost the best among everything that the domestic media space can offer.

As I love the content that authors on SG, I also feel an articularly related to the site, on which, in addition to the news from the game industry and the aforementioned content, my own, quite strong, community has formed.

And each time I wondered why Stopgame does not have its own mobile application? Of course, for sure the answer to the question posed has already been answered in some blog of the editor-in-chief, so it can be considered a retor. But personally I was always inspired by the idea of ​​the existence of such a platform.

That is why I decided to create my design concept, which I think it would fit for Stopgame, in case of their desire to create a mobile version in the end. And, I want to note that I did not have the goal of selling the design concept, or something like that, I just spent my free time to do, as I think, something cool that I might like.

Okay, enough with the entry, let’s watch.

I want to clarify that https://lucky-barry-casino.co.uk/ at this stage I managed to doll only a few key pages in order to demonstrate the general concept of how, in principle, the application looks like. As you can see further, I decided not to invent a bicycle, but to use a popular minimalist and quite intuitive design everywhere, in which there is no extra information and everything is clear.

So, in front of you is the four main pages of the application. The basis, if you want. I decided to divide the application into four, I think, the most important groups for the Stopgame platform. Let’s start in order:

Search page. On it you can find any information you need, starting from the concrete game and ending with articles and blogs. You can also observe several groups with subgroups, by clicking on which you will provide access to specific information. From below, I decided to insert a block with the most rated titles according to SG users.

The main page. This is, I think, the most important part of the application on which users will spend most of the time. Here are fresh videos from Stopgame authors, and news from the game hostage, then several interesting blogs.

The very page of the blogs. She looks exactly the same as the main one, with the exception of informative filling.

And of course a page with your own profile. On it you can edit it, look at your rating, comments, blogs, find news on chosen games and also configure the functions of the application itself according to the type of push notification.

Before moving on to the rest of the things that I managed to do, I would like to tell a little about the design itself in more detail. To begin with, as I said, I decided to make the application minimalistic and extremely simple. I was inspired by the fact that I made a film in my version of the application and I consider it very convenient to use.

From the palette of colors I can note the predominance of white, standard black for more text, as well as two shades of gray for icons, buttons and less important text, in order to disassemble the information and not confuse the user.

Font. There were quite a lot of options for this, but I still chose, in the most safe, one of the safest ones, namely Roboto in different outlines. This is a cool and simple font that is perfect for websites and mobile applications. If you go into conreto, I used three types of Roboto: Black, Regular and Bold.

We are going on. News, namely the pages themselves with information. At this stage, I made only one option that is suitable for the news, since for blogs it will be necessary to redo a little in order to accommodate functions like an assessment and so on.

In the upper part of the news, you can see the name itself, which is logical, the opportunity to share the news, as well as the date of publication.Below, which is also logical, the news itself. In the text, you can observe traditional red links, videos integrated from YouTube, images for viewing (in this case in the form of a carousel so as not to clutter up the news) and the opportunity to watch comments and go to the profile of the person who has posted the news.Under the news there is information about the game that is mentioned in the news, as well as links to several other news that may be interesting to users. Well, for now, that’s all. Write what you think about such a design and whether I should continue. For now!
