Self-initiated concept for a fictional publication. Not a client project or a live commercial publication.

Web & digital / Concept study 02

A more considered experience.

A digital experience should give people a clear way in. Perspective explores a fictional creative publication that balances expressive imagery, straightforward navigation and comfortable reading.

01 / Purpose and structure

Give the experience a clear purpose.

The design starts with three straightforward actions: discover a story, explore a topic and keep reading. The audience and reading needs are design assumptions, not findings from user research.

Sitemap

Home → Stories → Topics → About → Article. Stories and Topics are anchored sections of the homepage; About and each article have their own route.

Reading flow

Homepage → topic filter → article → related story. The links and filters are implemented in the prototype.

Content system

Three sample articles, each with a topic, title, standfirst, image description, caption, body and related reading.

02 / Wireframes

A rhythm before a visual style.

These low-fidelity layouts separate the feature, navigation and reading areas before adding the final art direction. Narrow screens use a single sequence; larger screens pair the feature image and headline.

03 / Art direction

Character and clarity.

A short headline and expressive portrait establish a point of view. Baltic blue, porcelain and confident typography keep the publication recognisable while the interface remains restrained.

Made for the smaller screen.

The headline, introduction and reading action form a simple sequence. Story cards stack, topic buttons wrap and article text stays at a comfortable reading width.

04 / Implementation review

Check the work itself.

  • The prototype contains real navigation, working topic filters and three sample articles.
  • All editorial content and people shown are fictional; generated portrait imagery is labelled in article captions.
  • No newsletter collection, purchase flow or real-person byline is included.
  • Keyboard, responsive and automated accessibility verification are recorded in the accompanying implementation report.

No usability research has been conducted with readers. No commercial performance or user-validation claims are made.
