Sony Music UK 2007-2010
Sony Music wanted widgets that could be plugged into any artist site and had the capability to be individually themed with the artist branding. I worked on the video player widget and the e-commerce widget.
The aim was to make one solution for all the European territories to put content easily into their artists sites and that were viral. Additionally widgets were created for Facebook and Bebo.
I created the templates and functional specifications, the interface for the back end CMS as well as the wireframes for the purchase process pages.
I performed user research and testing to make incremental adjustments and improvements. My role was end-to-end and included QA and functional testing of the finished products.
I was involved with various additional assignments while at Sony Music, such as concepts and ideation for social features for artist sites and micro-sites for high value ‘premium box sets’.
