Creating new blog pages to keep everyone up to date on Microsoft Research news

For the Microsoft Research group, I created a blog experience that is enticing and is more inclusive in nature, keeping everyone in the loop. My role in this project was the Creative Director, UX/UI Designer, and Visual Designer. 

The PROBLEM

Microsoft Research did not have a blog section on their site. They linked out to another section on Microsoft.com. They wanted their own experience to highlight their specific content.

The solution

I created a blog landing page as well as blog detail pages. The experience highlights the highest contributors, recent and related stories, and a way to follow the blog. These content items provide wayfinding for the users. They can easily dive deeper and learn more about each contributor and the related stories to the blog story they are currently reading.
