Media 10 - UX & Build for Apps 

I was headhunted by Media 10 as a UX/UI consultant to create an interactive digital version of the magazine. Rather than creating static page-turners we devised innovative ways to present the magazine content to subscribers and bring in exciting new features only available withing the digital space. My brief was to research and devise a system so that would enable the editorial, studio and sales teams at Media 10 to deliver their monthly titles in an interactive format available on the IOS and Android.

I designed and built the apps with the Art Directors for each publication, trained the teams in how to present the static content in an interactive format and utilise the numerous benefits the digital medium can deliver.The project started with the creation of wireframes and we created high fidelity prototypes, to provide proof of concept to the board of directors at Media 10. I created 7 app publications, I've provided expanded detail on some of them below.

Grand Designs achieved runner up in the Digital Magazine Awards 2015 - 'Highly Commended'

Grand Designs Magazine

 Grand Designs Magazine is a monthly publication, published by Media 10 in conjunction with Channel 4 and Freemantle Media. In 2015 Grand Designs Interactive Magazine achieved runner-up in the Digital Magazine Awards and the app was rated ‘Highly Commended’ by the esteemed judging team. Grand Designs was the first of the publications to be converted into a digital publication. I created a working prototype, tested with user groups, refined and began to build the first of the issues; going on to producing monthly versions of the magazine. Each issue contains all the content available within the print editions with additional material from the TV program. I pioneered a method to create embedded interactive 'virtual tours' of each of the feature houses allowing the user to navigate these houses independently.
