Your Daily Digital Read
Its a new way to read smart short stories in crisp five bullet points by various news aggregators. Reading news everyday does not have to time consuming and boring.
Problems
No Preffered Languages
Users do not get the content in their preferred language and have to rely on the other sources and do not get the intended news
Unreliable Source
The news they are consuming might be fake or misleading and they don't have a way to find out reliability unless they read & crosscheck
Lengthy
Nowadays attention span of users have reduced alot and they do not want to or have the time to read lenghty article
Print news
Currently, in the target market, the media houses are simply replicating the print medium into the digital medium
Regional news
There is very limited availability of regional news into the digital medium
Limited format
News formats are very limited and are not very mobile friendly
Solutions
Short Format
Using a short format of 5 bullet points allows users to consume news very quickly and they don’t have to go through a lengthy article

All the news are curated and hadpicked so it reliable and relevant to the users. This further allows to identify reliable sources for future

Infomation Architecture
With our primary and secondary research, I conducted a workshop of card sorting and created an information architecture to have a clear picture of sections & subsections within the product
Userflows & Wireframing
Continuing to define phase I created a few scenarios and created user flow for each one of them, which gave us a better understanding of key screens and users’ possible navigation within the product. Further designing wireframes using the user flows, we iterated and tweaked a few design choices with constant testing to provide users with a smooth experience

Visual Design
We chose to keep the product minimal and focus on making the interactions user friendly while using illustrations on limited areas to break the monotony
Global
Onboarding
We needed to gather user preferences to showcase content specific to their needs and make the experience more personalised
Guiding
the user to navigate
As this was a pretty new experience for the target market, we added coach marks on specific intervals to guide users in using the app
News in 5 bullet points
The USP of the product was to showcase the news in a short format, so we chose to give 5 pointers to a long article yet allow them to expand a specific point to read more about it
Multi language
support
The product supports multiple languages which came as a requirement from research thus showcased to the user as preference selection
Text to Speech
As some users drive to work and can’t read the news but still want to be updated, they can turn on this feature and listen to the news on the go. The features also highlight what is being read in this case H (Heading or 04 (point 4)
Navigate
to other sectios
Users can navigate to other sections like Topics by swiping left and then further jumping into the profile section, they can further change their preferences
Dark
Theme
I also created a dark theme to cater to user needs of consuming news for long periods which puts less strain on users’ eyes
Thank you
