PBS – Think Wednesday

Think Wednesday is a PBS programming block dedicated to popular science, history and nature-based documentaries. Every week featured new and upcoming shows and episodes. Our typical audience for these types of programs were curious and intellectual families. These shows usually garnered a 1.0-1.2 nielsen rating.

As a senior interactive art director, I used my user experience skills to research, wireframe and design a responsive website to help drive tune in to this programming block. I also oversaw the development through outside agencies, specifically HZDG.

I began by developing personas based on user observations and research done in conjunction with our user experience team.

By interpreting the user’s needs and goals, I was able to put together some basic wireframes for the microsite.

I then transformed these basic wireframes into a responsive site design, focusing on multiple viewpoints and devices, while adhering to the latest HTML5 and CSS to navigate the many paradigms of the response web.

Take a glance at the mockup animations below, which will walk you through the final buildouts of the website.
