You thought web interface could get complicated? And storyboarding three-minute spots could get dense? Watch and learn.
Lead Rock Band User Interfaces Artist, Kevin McGinnis, will walk you through the process of how Harmonix Music Systems creates their user interfaces. We will see detailed pre-production style boards, UI animation mockups and the tools the Harmonix team created and then used to put it all together.
