Heavy use of 9 and 3 scale asset in order to reduce memory consumption.
This atlas alone was sufficient to rebuild all screens for the game in Unity.

Set the style guide and worked with outsource team.
Icons were duo-toned and exported as desaturated so we could tint them various colours within Unity.

a common interface element. The circle metaphore would also indicate
that an item is draggable.
