Effective use of screen space, however this layout won't work with the majority of users profiles pictures which are square. This design put user profile first which is an innovative progress from the existing design. Currently avatars are small squares across the site, this design brings the user to forefront.
The composition is more effective in a square format, it will work better with the traditional square format of user profile pictures that already exist.
The blocks over the image feel over designed, they are heavy and distract from the image, they don't allow for longer profile names either.
This layout makes uses of the video player always being present, which is innovative, however I don't think it's clear that it's a profile page, it's looks more like a video synopsis.
This feel much more effective it's always the image to speak and the overlaying content isn't distracting.
Content can a join from the other side of the screen, creating clear and easy user interaction without the needs for excessive button pushing to get to content. This layout put it all in one view.
These demonstrate varying views from channels content, however they feel crowded and I don't think the user will know where to look, the content is all merging into one.
In the final version navigation around the channel is now much more clear, the unified navigation bar at the left make accessing content easier without having to navigate all over the screen to complete task. The high contrast between the white and dark grey make it clear exactly where the user is within the interface. Individual content is no more clear as borders have been placed around images which has made it more effective than when the content was merging together in one.
