I have been looking into some UI concepts and conventions that could potentially be applied to my YouTube redesign. I have looked across a range of user interfaces that are primarily focused on the aggregation of content or the discovery of content, two aspects which are key to YouTube's user experience.
Discovered
- 'Flat' aesthetic, this is common place in many of the interfaces that I have looked it, I think this is an effect aesthetic tool within interface as it allows the content to be the focus of the experience and the interface, the interface should be effortless and disappear around the content
- Large typography will need to be used on Television interface to cater for user's distance from the screen
- Content heavy, the current user experience of YouTube is sparse, content is small and hide to find, whereas content should scream out to user and excite users to interact with new content
- High contrast between bright whites and dark greys
- Brand created through the use of brand colours throughout an interface rather than just through use of a logo or symbol
- Large buttons and icons make them easy to understand and interact with on any device
