CNET 3.0 release

May 2014 release

Role: Visual Design
Objective: Revamp the CNET Native app experience for iPhone and iPad

CNET's mobile design from 2012-2014 underwent a visual overhaul. Apple's introduction of iOS7 and its new design direction led CNET iOS App to adapt– to not necessarily retrofit pre-existing functionality but to acclimate to the new design standards. Pre 3.0 design consisted of traditional news feed views and it was our team's decision to go towards an image deck + simple headline approach, as opposed to carousel main images and text + small thumbnail lists.

Team:
Me - Mobile UI Designer
Sr.D - Mobile UI Designer
CD - Creative Director

PM - Product Manager
Dev - iOS + Android

Work on this project was done with collaboration of the CNET Creative Product Team, led by our Creative Director and working alongside fellow designers. All work wouldn't be possible without the joint effort, critique and iteration that went through the entire process.
