Mobile Apps
The MTV and VH1 touch sites are optimized for the iPad’s unique UI and user behaviors, to create a rich, intimate experience that engages the user through direct touch and play.
I was tasked with creating the apps page for both MTV and VH1, with the ability for the marquee and carousels to swipe horizontally, and the content to scroll behind the header and marquee. Both landscape and portrait orientations were targeted.
MTV Geek
MTV Geek serves as the central hub for comic related and inspired content on mtv.com. It serves as a daily destination for comic fans within the MTV community and elsewhere, featuring the latest in comic books, video games, animation, toys, hobby gaming, tech, sci-fi, fantasy, horror and more. It also includes the latest previews, exclusive sneak peeks, behind the scenes videos, event coverage and MTV original comics.
My responsibilities included developing the main MTV Geek site, building reusable modules for use on external sites, and skin and navigation overrides for photo and video pages.
Posted
The Posted platform was created for shared fans of MTV/VH1 and CMT. The goal was to bring fans closer to the artists they love, and expose them to new ones. Each month, a new artist is featured with a variety of exclusive content and social media touch points.
My responsibilities included developing the main Posted site for all three brands, adding a Posted module to the standard artist page, and skinning and adding tracking information for related video, photo and news pages.
Posted was also the recipient of the ARF Ogilvy Award. This achievement was honored at the Ogilvy Awards Gala, which celebrates excellence in Advertising research.
Mobile Widgets
These widgets were developed as reusable HTML modules that could be shared globally across Music & Logo. Mobile web, video, apps, alerts and ringtone modules could be used individually, or collectively as an “uber” widget.
These widgets rely heavily on Javascript and Ajax, as each one contains a list of items that pull in additional data when clicked. The uber widget also provides a tabbed interface to navigate between them.
