Fantasy Premier League

Then in 2019 I was tasked with interpreting the Premier League's brand refresh to apply to the Fantasy game. I created a pattern library approach to scrutinise and test each key UI component in the browser. Only then did we build out the refreshed page designs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="30px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][qodef_button size="small" type="outline" target="_self" icon_pack="font_awesome" fa_icon="fa-angle-right" font_weight="" text="View the case study" link="https://goldcrestdesign.co.uk/?page_id=3185"][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

Connect CMS

It had been in use (and in continuous development) since 2002 and is at the heart of CIB's business so I faced a big challenge in redesigning it.   I rethought the way sections were grouped and functionality was ordered to simplify key processes. In doing so I kept in mind the everyday users who may not be technically minded and for whom content managing websites is just one of many different tasks they have to perform.   I introduced concise instructional copy, inline tips and user-friendly feedback messaging. Having captured all that with high-end wireframes, I then went on to design a fresh new user interface for the system. You can view the prototype...
