This isn’t a project we’ve done but it’s here as an example of mobile app design which Tom created whilst working at Digitalist in Helsinki. AJ+ (part of Al Jazeera) is a mobile-first news channel delivering quick-fire news to a generation who grew up with social media. The idea was to create an app to serve bitesize stories and the concept delivered the news in stacks of cards which could be swiped through quickly. Tom worked with UX designer Chris Rawlings and the AJ+ team during an intensive 2 week stint in San Francisco, producing a detailed style guide (which doubled as a set of ‘redlines’) and the mobile app. The amount of detail that went into this project was truly eye-opening.
