The document discusses redesigning the Yahoo homepage. It provides background on Yahoo's business, including revenue sources and popular products. It also includes market research findings on Yahoo users. The proposed redesign focuses on a "Review" and "Do" interface that is tailored for younger users like Paul. The "Do" pane would integrate Yahoo's services and suggest actions and notifications tailored to the user's context and interests.

What is New Media vs. Old Media? This presentation gives you the basic understanding of why and how brands are using new media to reach the influencers in their segment.
I've been thinking about the changing world of eCommerce recently. How to assemble the troops? What's important and what kinds of creative deliverables should you offer?
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

13. Paul is Yahoo ’s future
Ian Campbell Email: ian@4thofficial.com
Yahoo needs to take a giant step
forward or risk being irrelevant soon.
They were the first search engine, start
page and email address for many
people, but Paul’s demographic is
what their future needs to built on.
He uses technology and the Internet
differently, and has a more advanced
understanding of design (UI), content
and advertising.
14. THE NEW YAHOO HOMEPAGE
To capture people like Paul’s interest Yahoo will have to create a new approach to UI design. This interface works by splitting content (articles, news, etc.) on one side and
products and services on the other. I’ve named them ‘Review’ and ‘Do’. Both sides of the interface inform the other. For example: Interacting with Yahoo Autos in the Do pane
will trigger auto related content in the Review pane. The grey circle in the middle triggers the UI to slide to the right or left to reveal that full sides content. The audio control is a
key utility that can be used across many different pieces of functionality on Yahoo properties.

Hi Paul,
What would you like to do?
These services have a Yahoo brain
that thinks in the background on
Paul’s behalf. It seamlessly
connects all of the Yahoo
services and products together
and understands the context of
what Paul is doing now (+ past
and future).
The goal is to not present app
updates, but focus more on the
key actions. They could even
become smarter. For example: A
users Flickr photos are relevant to
most services.
The dotted line attempts to
connect two services in real-time.
It would be interesting if Paul
could drag lines between boxes
to see how the context could
change. For example: Connect
Jason’s game request to play
Fantasy football.
Minimize the individual brand
identities of products and
package them as the new Yahoo.
A voice activated UI.

I’m trying to imagine a way to
interact with content that’s a
fun/game like experience (Flip-board?).
Working through visual
design would make that ideas
clearer.
Clearly Yahoo spends a significant
amount of time curating social
sites like Buzzfeed and seeing
what’s trending in real-time and
blending that content into their
content strategy. They’re generat-ing
clicks but not revenue. They
can generate more social con-tent
from within their network from
Tumblr. Getting high profile con-tent
(personalities, celebs etc.) on
Tumblr. I can also see Flickr and
Tumblr being put together in some
interesting ways for new content
ideas that are focused on travel,
sports, fashion, etc.
The Yahoo IM product should
evolve into a short form blogging
tool (Twitter and Vine).

of the desktop site to grab their
favorite Yahoo content and cre-ate
their own Yahoo mobile site.
It’s working in reverse where us-ers
determine their own content,
features and functionality versus a
prescribed Yahoo experience.
Yahoo can insert new styles of
ads. Several sponsors can share
entire site sponsorships.

Better sponsor integration
that’s aligned to context. For
example:
TV mode > Romance > Sat-urday
night > Users (We know
who the 2 users are - Age, in-terests,
movie title, etc.).
Contextual sponsor
integration: Ben & Jerry’s ice
cream
How to order: It’s voice
activated (or clicked)
Real-time: Delivered by the
local retailer within 30 minutes
and charged to your Yahoo
account.
MODE
The UI is now in a TV mode.
Share the UI with another
device, monitor or TV (Similar
to the new WII). The red frame
background is for sponsor
integration.
Date night mode introduces
several romance related
features. For example: Create
social content (personalized
sharing moments) that can be
shared with friends and then
they auto-delete after several
seconds. It should be fun.
Partner with Snapchat to
capture a frame from a movie
and add a personal message
(It’s date night so use your
imagination).

Trending Now
I really like ‘Trending Now’; it’s the
closest ‘real-time’ style feature. Is
it possible to see more information
about what the trends are?
Perhaps fans can sign-in with social
site accounts (Facebook Connect,
Twitter, etc.) or Yahoo can partner
with other content sites (Buzzfeed)
to feature their content and trends.
Search + Mail + News + Adt
The model and experience is clear to see. A repositioning of Yahoo
requires rethinking of the model. Search the web? Perhaps it’s more
about searching across the Yahoo network of content and sites.
Creating context
This menu of products and services
could be presented in a different
way. If Yahoo understands how
people are using them they can
be integrated and intertwined into
the experience differently. For
example: If I’ve searched for a
subject related to automotive then
offer features and content related
to that search.

Navigation design
Although I don’t agree with it I’m
assuming the repeating of the
primary navigation at the top of
the page and the left menu are
to facilitate a mobile view of the
page. Also, there are three ‘Mail’
buttons at the top of the page. Weather
Ian Campbell Email: ian@4thofficial.com
The strategy behind the new
Yahoo IOS mobile app should
continue into this experience. For
example: brining in the relevant
photography from Flickr to set
content on location, weather,
interests or news. It’s also worth
promoting and linking through to
the app here.

Hidden Content
Many pieces of content are hid-den
with menus and arrows
(+email alerts are hidden). The
reality is that most people don’t
click on things that they can’t see.
It’s unlikely a news headline will
catch someone’s attention if they
have to click to find it. The most
valuable content that’s validated
through social media and general
analytics should be present.
25. HOMEPAGE review
Ian Campbell Email: ian@4thofficial.com
Social Relevance
There’s no social call-to-actions or
context for what your friend’s are
liking/sharing for any of the
content featured on the page.
AD
It’s time for a new and more innovative ad
platforms versus a display ad that has a
minimal click-through. New ad models are
directly integrated within the content and
have a smarter context.

29. OUr MVP
This is the beginning of a new Yahoo digital ecosystem that works across
platforms, screens and touch devices. Yahoo will be a media company
with innovative new forms of advertising products that work across TV, desk-top,
social and mobile. To a fan the experience will feel like there’s a smart
skin around them that is aware of their location and the context of what’s
Ian Campbell Email: ian@4thofficial.com
going on around them.
Going forward Yahoo will be creating content and partnering with premier
content creators like HBO and _______. They’ll use Tumblr as the primary so-cial
mechanism to create user generated content. Services and products
will be updated and some will intertwined to create new experiences.
