Project Recap: AskJT Twitch Layout

Edit: Layout has been adjusted, new elements and design can be found here

Project Brief:

AskJT (Jordan) is known for his prowess in speedrunning, particularly in The Simpson's: Hit and Run, which he showcases to the public on his Twitch channel. As Hibnotic has partnered with Jordan before on the Blindrunner's Twitch channel, the two were familiar with each other's desires on the other side of the project. The client simply wanted a new layout for their channel to add a little flair. 
The result is a combination of Jordan's standout iconography and elements of his speed game.

​The flower illustration, inspired by Homer Simpson's Mumu suit, found on Jordan's logo was a good starting point to creating a background

Repeating this design and animating the flowers on a loop of moving both down and across worked well, as the movement doesn't distract from the gameplay of Jordan's streams but instead complimenting the calm nature of the streams. 

Continuing the Simpson's inspiration, the gameplay, chat/webcam and splits border are directly inspired from the menus of 'Hit and Run'

This resulted in the final piece, with the addition of the AskJT logo. A looping video that doesn't require a substantial amount of PC resources to run through Jordan's streaming program OBS.

Personal Review:

I'll keep coming back to this project, as I feel it can be approved upon. As the relationship between client and creator remains strong we can find ways to adapt the design to the changing landscape of the livestream format
