Schematic 2006
The first concept was called ''The Quad''. The homepage would be divided into 4 sections that would expand when individually activated.
Here, the video quad has been activated. The other modules shrink to accommodate. Advertising was considered an integrated element of the page.
The idea was to break down the content to the most essential (Video, Shows, Commnity, Schedule), so as not to overwhelm the users, and to allow them to find what they want quickly.
A second concept was called ''The Reflection''. Here, the content would be contained on a panel that would appear to float in space. The UI elements and design are very minimal, to allow branding. video, and advertising to be highest priority.
In Video mode, users would be able to chat with their friends.
The interface would literally flip over...
To reveal content that the user could customize according to their preferences.
