Multimedia project 1 slices

multimedia project 1 new solution

For this solution I cut down the size of the articles. I also added navigation so that the user can personalize the stories stories they receive as well as the look. The user can also rate and share articles with other users.  For the header I used the same color as the LA Times but, I put the text on an angle and added some texture.

Multimedia project 1

The audience I chose for my project is urban professionals who are single, interested in art and like the night life.

Multimedia project 1 solution 1

This design was influenced by a motion graphic I saw for the LA Times. I chose to use it on top instead of their other logo. I tried to use the reflection and shadow in my titles but could not get it to look right. Instead I chose to crop the photos at an angle to add interest. I wanted to reference the print medium so I placed the text in columns. 

Multimedia project 1 solution 2

For this design I wanted to reference the print medium. I did this by placing the text in columns and by using columns of text to create the background. 

Multimedia project 1 solution 3

For this solution I wanted to reference the print medium. I wanted to play off the idea of tearing
out a particular article that you might like to hang up. I let this idea influence my design by using torn paper behind the articles. For a background I chose crumpled news paper to further reference the original medium of these articles.
