Role: Web and mobile Lead UI Visual Designer / Web Designer
Project background: As a long term client of mine, this is the fifth iteration of the website I have had the pleasure of designing for this New York based media company, over a 15 year period.
Core responsibilities: A complete redesign of the company responsive website to showcase their latest offerings for film, music video, TV productions and commercials.
As the sonly UI/UX designer on this project, I receive the clients brief, liaising with my off-shore developer partners in Australia and India to outline the client requirements, to obtain costing and scheduling for the build of a responsive media site with a CMS backend.
My client has very fixed views on the look and feel he wanted to convey to his own clients and in the first instance I provided him with three very different design concepts, Initially collaborated on the ‘mobile first’ design closely followed by the desktop version.
Having received the videos/film trailers, I then selected cuts from each one to create the artefacts required. Colour and typography was agreed on by both the client and myself. Throughout the design and build of the project, I was constantly liaising, via Skype with both the client and developers to ensure the project was delivered on time and within the agreed budget.
