Resdesign and refresh for Monocle’s 1.5 global online destination. My role was to reskin the new UI with a new look and provide direction on typography, color and the separation of the many different types of content and modules of the world “micronews” and lifestyle site.
The strategy for the website is to provide a video and rich media layer offering related material to the magazine’s printed content — avoiding simple repurposing of articles. Online video formats include Q&As, reportage, and special editions that provide engaging added value content encouraging viewers to forward on and link to directly to other content-rich experiences.
Additional new modules include Monocle 24 a round-the-clock live and archived streaming radio / audio broadcasts which add an up-to-date news relevance to the overall Monocle offering.
