This large project engaged an international team at Catalyst Mobile from Fall 2007-Fall 2008. The goal of the project was to deliver a mobile/web companion music application to the Chinese market. Initial mobile application rollout was planned for 3G Symbian devices.
Erika's responsibilities included creating wireframes and flow documents, design skins, and icon designs and also optimizing the logo and creating color schemes that helped unify the brand on web and mobile. While working with a local project team in Beijing and a US engineering team in Santa Barbara - she iterated on web designs and mobile designs for Flash Lite & J2ME prototypes.
The images below reflect 2 mobile design phases: The lighter design for Phase 1 was completed for Flash demo at 3GSM Barcelona, January 2008. The bright colored design for Phase 2 was completed for production and demos in Flash and J2ME between August & September 2008. Chinese language UI not displayed here, but available upon request for Phase 2.
