TVB, a television broadcaster in Hong Kong, sought to create eNews (娛樂新聞), an exclusive platform for entertainment news, behind-the-scenes content and live shows. The goals was to increase exposure for their productions and actors on the Internet.
Design Process
The initial requirements for the platform were simple and focused on displaying news feeds. However, clients frequently changed their requests, presenting a challenge in adapting to these changes with minimal impact on development and design.
Site Map
News and blogs content
- Display feeds from news, blogs, programmes and SNS updates
- News (videos) and blog articles are shareable
- Native video player with a share button placed on the listing thumbnail
Building a social platform for artists and fans
- Allow users to follow, like or share artist’s social status
- Artist (authorised user) can post status through the app
This is not implemented in the final design
UI Design
Phase 1.0
Initially, some features were designed based on requirements at that time but were not implemented in the final version.
Phase 1.1: Live Channels and Other Tweaks
The social features was not implemented. Instead, live channels were added, allowing users to preview the live programme details before the scheduled time. The news layout was changed from a large linear list to smaller grids and enabling users to view more content on the screen.
