Description: A redesign of the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes menu interface. While the original interface was flashy and designed well, it didn't connect with the rest of the game, from my perspective. Throughout the entire game, the player is an observer through the eyes of Samus, so I carried this theme across into the menu as well, mimicking the visors found in the game for the different menu options.

Just a quick note, don't hit the back button when on the main menu. When running it as an executable, it makes it quit, which is what it's supposed to do. When you hit it on the website, it just freezes the animation. I'll need to remove this, but haven't yet.

All of the art assets within this interface were created in Photoshop, except for the characters and artwork pieces from the original game. All visor overlays were created as vectors, with only the helmet itself and the portal being raster graphics.
