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

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.

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.

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

Reading flow

Homepage, topic filter, article, then 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.

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.

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.
