RAMADAN AMERICA is a collection of five stories set during Ramadan and Eid in America. Celebrate stories of love, family, and tradition. Short “Nani’s Biryani” tells the story of a young Muslim-American boy inspired to embrace his heritage when his grandma schools him on social media. To make teenager Zubair’s digital lifestyle feel real, I needed to create a whole ecosystem of fake UI.
I crafted static and motion assets that illustrated the character’s online lifestyle. From social media websites to background assets, I helped give a look and feel to “Beez” his favorite short-form social platform, and Zubair’s deranged food mash-ups, highlighting the derision and alienation teens encounter online with pop-up comments.
I modeled bespoke 3D emojis for director Huriyyah Muhammad, but on careful consideration, she decided we needed more recognizable icons, so I incorporated new ones from the brilliant Noto Emoji project
