Change Perspective
Interactive mobile videos that challenge perception. Created during my internship at Narrative_ for Visa RushCard, where I worked as the UX/UI Designer on the project. To watch the films, visit makemoves.com on a phone or tablet.
UX & UI Design
Problem
Mobile video has played a big part in exposing instances of police violence. Visa Rushcard wanted to address this tragic, yet persistent issue by provoking discussion around racial profiling, police shootings, and violence against police by using the same medium.
Solution
Based on the observation that people often turn their phones sideways to get a better perspective we created short interactive films that challenge bias, triggered by device orientation.
I designed the site where the videos would live with the goal of making the interface as intuitive as possible. To make the experience seamless we conducted user testing to determine the best placement and language for the prompts directing users to turn their phones.
By combining technology with the spoken word of poet Black Ice we created dynamic videos telling powerful stories about perception.
