Probably some of you already knew what part three was going to be. This week, it was a design round.
Now we have one last part remaining for this series. The next part will be all about feature demonstration and the prototype. I'm not too sure what deliverables I will be bringing, but it's only been a week, so stay tuned ;)
As always, take care, and I will see you all again next week.
Front Page Cover Story
Just focusing on the cover story when the app launched.
Settings - Front Page
The quick setting options and navigation reveal when swiped downwards.
Article Blocks
Preserved the original layout, but kept it clean and ensured photos and headlines pop out.
Highlighted Texts & Bookmarks
I wanted to do a little more on this design, but the timer ran out. I will work on this design further later on.
Article
Clean as proposed in the wireframe from the previous week. Just tried to focus on text and images, what really matters.
Dynamic Comment Feature & Video Content
Tried to ensure that the comment feature doesn't interfere with the main content but supports it. The video content is treated not too differently from other visual assets.
Swipe Up to Close & Reader Queue Feature
When finished reading, users can swipe up to close the article. On the other hand, the reader queue appears at the bottom of the article, so users can continue reading through what they originally selected. I will be prototyping this feature with more depth next week to demonstrate how it works.
Night Reader Mode & Article Screen Settings
Pretty much what I've presented in the wireframe last week. Meanwhile, I softened the contrast between the text and background so it's not harsh to read.
