UI Logbook with animations for puzzle game
This logbook was made for a third person puzzle game called Aria.
Aria was made in the game engine Unity as a group project for a University course.
I created the logbook with the goal to assist players with remembering how to read the games different symbols. Pages gradually get added after players have solve what the symbols mean. I did not design the appearance or meaning of the symbols and operands! In total the final logbook has over 60 pages.

Final image used for the outside of the logbook. Since it's only seen very briefly in the opening and close animation I choose to keep it quite simple.
