CNET
CNET is an American media website publishing technology and consumer reviews, news, articles, and videos on  electronics.
Apple's introduction of iOS7 led CNET's mobile design into a visual overhaul. Pre 3.0 design consisted of standard carousel main images and text with small thumbnails. Our team decided to apply a more contemporary image deck + simple headline approach.
            Request
Brand refresh - changing the visual application to adhere to new OS guidelines for iOS / android and desktop / mobile web
Action
Applied new visual aesthetics to existing interfaces. New OS principles led to a more seamless experience; iOS considerations, Android Material Design implementation
Challenges
Balancing between legacy platforms and pushing new interfaces led to delays in publishing new visual applications
Retrospect
A more formulated strategy on priority of pages that have more clicks and retention and applying the visual changes in piecemeal to have consecutive releases and minimal delays
