Yahoo News Redesign

A self initiated re-design of Yahoo Singapore's website.

Problem:
The current Yahoo Singapore site is overwhelmed with information, with a dated information architecture and navigational structure. Browsing news on the yahoo site seems v cluttered and chunky.

Solution:
"Bring the big boys to the centre of the stage"
By bringing the most important/trending news upfront for users. Retaining the much used left/right swipe functions, we enable users to grasp the most important or related information at their fingertips.

Further breakdown of news are separated into easy and digestive sections. While introducing an entirely new 'trending now' section for #newstags.

Newstags will allow users to get up close and personal to news through Yahoo and contribute to the trends as well.
