2003-04, UX and visual design for Microsoft’s new search engine – As lead designer for web search, I designed and delivered the main feature areas (homepage, results, My Search), and also developed vision demos around new search experiences.
Side story: Shown here is the homepage concept. The idea was to have the image change based on events or topics of interest – very similar to what Bing.com does today. Back then the restrictions were really tight, and each homepage image needed to be around 15k. Because speed was really important, the homepage only changed once during the Super Bowl.
