Discover biomedical research in real-time with Meta.

RE-DESIGN

Jumping on board with the project, there were a few variables to consider for the web experience redesign.

Major factors considered when designing:

- Space & Legibility
- Typeface
- Overall narrative navigation
- Consistent User experiences within Desktop & Mobile.

USER PROFILE

New user profile implimentation took place as prior to my contributions, the profile page had very minimal fields: consisting of Name, E-mail and password.

We were able to expand options but adding a tab navigation that broke down options into categories of Personal Info, Reference Mangement, URL Resolver, Notifications and Additional Preferences.

Other implimentations to the profile took place on various pages, particularly where profile feeds and libraries were visible while exploring other parts of the site.

Various explorations, increasing the size of the avatar, new functions to Edit, Delete, or Rename saved feeds were added.

HEADERS

New Headers were created to create more space and give flexibility to visible thumbnails and icons.

COMPONENTS

Side Bar and Paper Cards elements were re-designed and scaled up to desire a robust feel. Elements were provided more negative space to help legibility.

SEARCH

Samples of search input and results upon user interaction.

COMING ALL TOGETHER

All components coming together, feeling less cluttered by rebuilding a new grid system.

ICONOGRAPHY

Lastly, I was asked to create complex generative iconography to help illustrate data science and technology.
