UI + UX + visual design + editorial design + art direction At WIRED, I had the honor of working with an absolutely amazing team of people who work together to create an award winning publication. During my time there, I designed for the front of the book, START and PLAY section for both print and tablet formats (iPad and Kindle Fire). Layouts for the iPad are done for both the horizontal and vertical orientations. For the Kindle Fire, we designed a vertical layout only. Specifically for tablet I was responsible for the design of the START section pages, the TOC, the section openers (aka mini TOCs), masthead and colophon. Additionally, I worked on feature stories, and occasionally a PLAY section page. Most notably, I was given the responsibility to redesign the TOC for tablet, conceived of and designed the section openers; which hadn’t existed previously, and designed the logo for the Decode section. I also worked with the design director to refine the rubric and margins for the tablet. Daily tasks would include edit and art team meetings, conferring with photo editors, art directors and the director of digital to plan out the visual and interactive assets of the layouts. Generating multiple layouts of each story in every orientation to ensure the best user experience possible. Conferring with other designers on the team to share ideas and get additional feedback. Presenting pages to the design director for approval. Pinning up pages for walk though. Consulting the production team in building better files.
