Concentra is one of the largest Belgian media publishing agencies, with several newspapers and websites. To experiment with citizen journalism and user-generated content, the idea of a ‘going out’ website was born. In a collaboration with the Media & Design Acadamy, students were asked to create a visual design for this website. My contribution was selected as the basis for the website, and together with some students we worked out several pages in Photoshop that demonstrated all the required functionality.
After that, the design was delivered to a third-party ISV, who would create templates of it for their CMS. I worked out personas and scenarios for usability testing, but unfortunately, the ISV had many technical difficulties. After much delay, the newspaper editors decided that it wasn’t worth the effort and canceled the project entirely.
