^Oh my *jaw drop*
Good job, Scuderia Paul. I like the clean look of that screen and the way the player gets the desired information. 👍
So it's been a while, but I'm back into the fanart business! This is my idea of a dealership screen for GT6. It's pretty simple - you can scroll left/right to change countries and up/down to choose a manufacturer. Depending on which manufacturer you highlight, the background will change. Once you select a manufacturer, you'll enter their showroom, where you can browse new or used cars - I'll be uploading an example of a showroom next.
My choice of retro-style buttons got a negative response with my last few designs, so I've taken them out in this menu and won't be using them again. Let me know what you guys think!
Here's a manufacturer showroom. Within the showroom, you can browse new cars, used cars, racing cars, and take part in certain events. Again, very straightforward. The inspiration for the design came from GT1 and GT2's interface. I used to love how Polyphony would use real press shots in the menus, to make it feel as if you were in an actual showroom. I've taken this a step further here. Everything is dynamic - when you highlight Mazda's racing tab, the background changes to a shot of a 787B in pit lane at Le Mans, and the ticker at the bottom provides a brief synopsis of Mazda's racing history. Again, this is very simple, but I feel like every showroom should be slightly different, because every manufacturer has a different history. The theme here is blue for Mazda, though this would change to red for Ferrari and green for Aston Martin, etc.
Nice screens paul! Somebody should somehow animate them.
That's quite neat, Scuderia Paul!
Just visited this thread for the 1st time...
Scuderia_Paul, your designs/ideas are truly amazing.
I really hope we get something even similar to your work in GT6>. 👍
Thanks Brad. I agree completely with you about my Online Lobby being too cluttered. It was the final piece I did before starting my new style with the Photo Travel and Media Gallery screens. I hope to do a new Online Lobby in the coming weeks when I finish my Car Configurator.gt5 brad gt5Scuderia Paul- Love most of your designs, as some have mentioned screenshots like the online lobby screen feel a little cluttered but that maybe my different taste in design.
Glassjaw- I really like what you have come up with on these latest designs. They look really professional and clean. My design style leans towards simplicity, so that probably explains why I like them so much.
Many thanks. Brad.

Glassjaw has come up with some absolutely fabulous pieces recently. His manufacturer country selection screen is gorgeous.
I look forward to seeing some more work from yourself Brad. How do you go about animating your stuff?
Nice job Brad. I like your category icons but what are the mini icons to the right hand side? I assume the cog is Settings but the other 2 are?
If I was to make minor changes I would remove the refresh weather and GT Life icons and reduce the space allocation for your A-Spec, B-Spec and current credits and put current car and time in that area. It would improve the viewing of the background. In fact the refresh weather could be removed all together as being connected to PSN and the GT server it could update automatically.
The blue outer glow on your icons is lovely.
Hey guys. As mentioned previously, I managed to make a start on animating my menu design. Well here's my progress so far. This is a Work In Progress (WIP) and lacks refinements. However it gives a good feeling to what I want in my menu concept. A lot of animations need polish like easy ease keyframes etc. I'd also like to add some audio of the buttons getting pressed which I think would be pretty fun to do. Anyway here's my work so far:
Many thanks. Brad.
EDIT: Fixed embedded video.
The idea is good, but I think you need something less distracting. The icons are too big, but again, the idea is right.
Specially the weather icon for the circuits. Though that was an idea for GT5 that Kaz couldn't implement.
Good job man! I think the icon sounds from gt1 and gt2 are the best. Try adding those and see if it suits your menu.
Thanks for the feedback mate! yeah I do tend to agree about the oversized icons. Thats something I want to adress in my next menu design concept.
Thanks buddy! Yeah I was thinking about GT1 sounds myself, will definitely give it a try this weekend!👍
Thanks. Brad.
