Digital presses has been increasing in the last 5 years, young readers are demanding more. Not just in quantity but in quality as well! That supports creative emerging content.

To target generation z we wanted to present features that felt native like TikTok UI to capture their engagement. During testing the first response was to tap on menu and & genre to select an article.
Mid-fidelity
Our first approach was tp0create the articles page similar to TikTok UI, but it wasn't successful. The media were still images, therefore it didn't have the same reaction. Also, one of the motivation during testing was to have the availability to to see all the content before choosing an article. That approach took user longer before selecting an article. Therefore provided option especially for mobile based on user motivation either see the latest/trending or content mostly interested in reading. After, testing we saw that generation z users liked the navigation of the articles plage.
