NASA+ SVOD HI-FI PROTOTYPE
(P.O.C. VIDEO SCREEN CAPTURE)

THE CHALLENGE

NASA was in desperate need of a video and asset gallery update if they were going to bring their content to the masses with a new SVOD service called NASA+. Not only was the photo, video and user content strewn about the site, seemingly with no real logical categorization, but the user experience and technology used to display them was not approachable or user friendly and felt quite dated. As such, I was contracted to create wireframes and rapid proof of concept prototypes with the mission to help secure a much longer term project.

THE APPROACH

Asset & Site Audit

I started with conducting a site and asset audit followed by a card sorting exercise with stakeholders and users to help reorganize all content in a more logical manner.

Wireframes

Once the content was reorganized, I moved to a rapid wireframing round to show potential improvements to the layout and overall user experience bringing more modern video and image playback enhancements to the forefront to help engage and satisfy users with the proposed NASA+ media service.

Rapid Design & P.O.C Prototype

After gaining stakeholder and user buy in on the proposed wired layout and early IxD, an improved user interface, user experience and user interactions were designed and defined in a robust prototype built with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and XD which can be seen in the video screencapture above.

THE RESULT

With the proof of concept design completed and prototyped, stakeholders were able to approve the NASA+ project into the full design and technical phases with the internal teams of the contracting company. Though my initial design seems to have changed somewhat after my portion of the project was completed, my contributions had a significant impact on getting the initial NASA+ platform up and running.
