Although the platform already featured curated articles, the level of interaction with these shorter reads was rare. Subsequently, it became evident that harnessing the visual assets present in magazines could be beneficial. This realisation prompted us to focus on the development of a high-fidelity prototype. This encompassed a redesigned article layout, a repositioned article carousel, and the introduction of a supplementary section catering to users in a browsing mode.
