Final design refinements
For the final prototype, we worked to address issues with accessing longer stories, further integrating the REader MIX module, and overall use and organizational issues. The “dots” branding was integrated throughout the different stories and sections and the content “filter matrix” was integrated into the “filtered” view in order to demonstrate the functionality of this widget.
Another final refinement for this stage was a slight alteration to how the type is displayed. For this final version the type family used changes based on the source in which the selected story was pulled from. Traditional news agencies are represented in the serif type face while stories collected from online-only sources as well as social media sites is displayed in the sans-serif.
