This GUI Kit should allow grabbing UI elements to be used in another design projects/contests for designers and coders.
Branding and Guidelines
- The overall look and colors must match the current website design (gray, black, green, yellow, white, etc).
- Use the verigames logo (VerigamesLogo.zip).
- Fonts must look consistent with the current design. Declare your fonts according to the Studio font’s policies.
- Show all the hover states for all the navigation items.
Design Requirements
Overall
- Follow Mockup.zip layout for guidance of the pages. This is a modern and common way to create GUI Kits. You can check this live reference for inspiration. DO NOT COPY ANYTHING, use for reference only.
- Browse, review and analyze the website pages and the linked PSD sources. You need to capture all the possible UI compositions and represent them in your GUI Kit.

-- Home | Source Files
-- Games | Source Files
-- My Home (logged in user) and User Profile | Source Files
-- News | Source Files
-- Forums | Source Files
-- Wiki | Source Files
-- Chat
- Notice some of the source files versions are outdated (navigation mostly) compared to the current website version. You must follow the current version as main source. If there are no source items for any component you must create them.
