Theme Prototypes

I designed and built multiple theme variations and prototypes

Style Tiles

To simplify theme selection and a publisher’s brand expression I devised a concept of ‘style tiles’, the tiles each contain the same amount of information but demonstrate completely distinct theme options and ways of presenting the content. The themes cater for 5 core publisher types: news, magazine, reading, blog, portfolio.

Simplified colour selection

One of the challenges we faced during testing was enabling the right amount of customization to a publisher. Too little and they felt like they didn’t have control, too much and they paralyzed themselves with choice.

I designed a solution that allowed the same amount of brand expression but it cut the entire selection process to 3 options: primary, secondary and accent colours. Creating complimentary colour palettes off the back of the publishers selection.
