Golden age

HBO.com was a next level web experience for a next level brand. One of the first websites to incorporate full frame video and provide content that extended the television experience into interactive. I was lead UX. My team had to dive into extensive content analysis to understand the scope of content and customer connection to HBO verticals. Fortunately this involved watching a lot of great TV, comedy, and sports, least among it the show Entourage, pictured below. We developed an information architecture with key exec stakeholders, collaborated with show-runners to brainstorm web content extensions, and performed usability testing. We delivered more than 500 pages of UX documentation and product specification, including a video player, full featured program guide, user authentication, and message boards – all designed from scratch.
