App Framework
The design team worked closely with the product managers on understanding the overall goals at MTV. The main objective was to build a digital platform that not only engaged a younger audience but also helped support their linear TV shows. Each category on the app represents a key show that is related to either fashion, music, and sports and is supplemented with a series of short form content produced by influencers within each industry.
Consumption Screens
Above is a sample of main category landing screens and consumption screens ranging from linear TV to short 15 second live streams.
Gaming
Mini games are featured throughout the app. Trump Shower is one of the games that I concepted and designed. It's essentially a bald Trump at the bottom of the screen that's controlled by the users thumb and is slid side to side to catch blonde wigs as they fall from the sky. Players score bonus points when they catch other wigs such as afros and pigtails.
Live Streaming & User Participation
Pass the Aux is a concept featured within the "music" category "yo MTV raps". Users can tune into a live event where music is being played and be apart of the DJing experience in the comfort of their own homes. Below is an example of a live event where users are made aware through moving music frequency at the bottom along with a live feed that instantaneously starts to play as the user scrolls past.
After the user has clicked into the live event they are "passed the aux" at random and can chose to participate. They are then asked to select a series of song within a certain time frame which get added to the DJ's queue.
