ABOUT
The international MTV web platform is designed to serve the editorial and marketing requirements of 20+ MTV digital properties. Site by site, each market is being migrated over to the mobile-first platform, promoting a global brand aesthetic.
Initially collaborating with two user interface designers, we designed a central wireframe and mock-up library that can be accessed company-wide. Our UI Style Guide assisted the Development Team when building the frontend of the site.
The video-centric platform is designed to support region-specific content strategies, as well as multiple time zones, different languages, non-Latin character sets (Japanese, Chinese), left-to-right and right-to-left reading (Hebrew) and legal requirements.
