Hello everyone, I suck at making GUI's and art in general. I need some help with my games GUI and art. Here is the games video, please post any suggestions and art you think would work better then what Ive created thanks in advance.
Perhaps a bit more contrast in the left and right panels? The white font tends to fade into the lighter portions of the background; try either a darker font color, or a light color with a dark outline.
Also, the numbers in the left panel (timer, score, level) seem off-kilter. Maybe try either centering or right-justifying all three, so that they are more aligned. I've found that centering volatile fields like timers can be problematic, unless they're fixed-width font and padded to ensure that the field width stays constant (in order to avoid a 'jittery' effect as the characters change).
Otherwise, it looks nice - well done!

Yeah I noticed I need to adjust the font as well. More worried about the bare background and other stuff.
