Microsoft Search experience

 

Participated in the design of the Global Search UI for Microsoft.com Search. I created pixel perfect redlines per each break point and produced highly detailed alignment work. I worked with the Microsoft China development team, leading design calls to ensure a successful final design.

My role in this project was Designer and Content Strategist. This site is no longer live since there have been newer Surface models released.

The goal

To "romanticize" Surface 2 and Surface Pro 3. We wanted to grow the interest in these products by displaying their innovative features. 

 
 

Process

 

The design team conducted product research and user research to see what features were most important to highlight. Through white boarding sessions, the team defined the features to highlight and how to execute them.

I worked closely with our developer each step of the way, making sure the design vision came to fruition in development. I specifically worked on the Surface 2 pages, and added design input to the Surface Pro 3 pages.

Detail page

I wanted to highlight the top 3 features of the Surface 2 above the fold. I used an iconography treatment to provide the user with a simple way to quickly digest the information.
