What Constitutes Great Design In Streaming Services, like Disney+

What Constitutes Great Design In Streaming Services, like Disney+ Disney+ has been something I have been waiting for for a long time. Being a Disney fan, I knew inevitably that I would be a subscriber, regardless of the platform itself. However, I am not above being critical of this service. I do not think that Disney+ is perfect; nor do I think it's terrible. Looking at the blend of all streaming services, that I am familiar with, I think there are multiple features from each that I would sample from to create an ideal state-of-the-art design of a streaming service. I have organized this by identifying design principles and giving explanations of why I think they should be included. 1.Disney+'s Simple, Elegant Interface I read an article discussing Disney+'s purposive choice to keep it tidy and organized. Compared to Netflix, Disney+ does not show all of its content at once. It consolidates its content into separate categories, operating under the assumption that users kno...

My Personal Wellness Model

  To truly make this meaningful, I looked back at how my definition of wellness has transformed over time. Earlier in my life, wellness equated to how successful I was- I had very tangible and articulated goals of how I should be performing. Wellness was All A's, being a certain weight, spending a certain amount of time with others...

Transferring to William & Mary, I had to assume this approach to maintain a sustainable life. With that, here is my definition of well-being along with my model of well-being. Definition of well-being: To achieve harmony throughout one's life, each dimension of wellness acts and interac...

Prototyping

Tom Kelley captured an idea that resonated with our team's prototyping process incredibly well. He said, "When the project is especially complex, prototyping is a way of making progress when the challenges seem insurmountable." Our ideation session was incredibly productive; we identified that we wanted to frame our solution as a Diversity education mode aimed at bettering Disney+'s LPA's Culture-Diversity performance. However, initially, as we started to bridge the ideation and prototyping process, we were overwhelmed with all of the features we wanted to include. As prototyping progressed, we were able to make steady progress in approaching this complex solution while "building to learn".  Our initial prototype sessions were centralized around creating the foundational framework of our platform. We began to approach visualizing this through the use of Figma, a collaborative interface design tool that would allow us to create a mock Disney+ platform. Pr...
