Phase 0: Inside Out Film Festival

UX Research

Wireframing Prototypes


An intern project at Inside Out Film Festival that, despite my transient position, indulged my more… outlandish practices of context-making, tangible group brainstorming, and co-creation.


Phase 0 of the Inside Out Digital Restructuring is an in depth deep dive into their information architecture and visual communication systems across their current festival platform with the intent of creating a phased digital redevelopment plan. Also including the creation of low fidelity semi-functional wire frames as part of a developer and designer hand off package (not featured) and further exploration of brand activation capacity.

Research

Investigations with user walk-throughs and surveys which were used to determine priorities in development - prioritizing impediments of connection between Inside Out and key stakeholders.

A Sitemap as part of developer and designer hand off and functionality investigation. Streamlining user experiences and keeping it edit friendly for on/off seasons.

Test Wireframes (sans functionality annotations)

Having Identified opportunities for clarity of language and visual hierarchies, simplified functionality, and effective storytelling I present a low-fidelity wireframe that shows a more involved and responsive platform that while shows clear on/off seasons leans into the newsprint black and white look as a year round place for news on queer film.
