Juuri Nyt: Design for a News Application

Juuri Nyt is a news application that brings core categories from our main site to mobile users. When user connects to a network she can download latest news on her mobile device (iOS, Nokia Symbian^3 touch, Nokia WP7), where they remain until she updates again.

Application is built by Conmio. They have also built The International Herald Tribune’s application with the same technology. Since the first application was designed for IHT—a newspaper, my design challenge was to redesign the application—economically with as little effort as possible—to our needs, and to convey a look more suited for a digital media brand such as MTV3.

In comparing the two, reading and browsing gestures work the same in IHT and MTV3 applications. Layout and anything that was visually tied to print media has been redesigned for a digital brand.
