DESIGN PRINCIPLES & ARCHITECTURE

MediaFirst was designed as a platform. Therefore, we approached UI as a system where layers of interface serve specific functionalities. Positioning of UI elements, communications, and metadata supported users in making decisions. Below are samples from the client's pitch decks and highlighted design work from MediaFirst interaction documents.
