This is a very small sampling of an interface I’m building for a content download and sharing portal. This is one of those projects that occur in real life, meaning that a use case had to be developed, wireframe made, multiple rounds of interface design and mock-ups, and basic usability testing done in an extremely condensed timeline. It is successful so far, and will get additional budget allocated to it for refinements in the upcoming months. Projects like this are challenging due to the nature of the limited initial budget, the VIP stakeholders, and the quick deadline, but hell, that’s what makes them fun.

Update:

After meeting with the client some new needs came about, so I refined it and below is the update. It includes a sharing functionality in which the user selects all the assets he or she wants to send to someone, and it generates an email with embed codes to everything, no matter which server it’s served from. Multiple files originating in multiple places available in a single email. Pretty cool. Also updated the buttons and did some miscellaneous cleaning.
