6Music Homepage 2011

I was the design lead on this project. I worked with interactive producer Daniel Bean. We worked up the initial concept. Producing various low and hi fidelity wireframes before the indie was engaged. This meant that the scope of the project was as clear a possible from the start.

Some of the features of the redesign included the automatic refreshing of the carousel to display the live DJ image and that DJ's latest tracks. Another feature was the smooth transitions and animations within the carousel they add a polished finish to the end result. www.bbc.co.uk/6music. The in house team and Kent Lyons did a great  job using the feeds and data mechanisms available in a 'real time' way so the page is constantly up to date, new and fresh.

The page was was tested rigorously on different browsers as it needed to work smoothly on all browsers from IE6 to Google chrome.
