Sony Media Center: A proof of concept branded media viewing and management experience.

The XD Team within Macromedia was specifically tasked with pushing the boundaries of Macromedia’s products and creating new, more immersive user experiences. Not surprisingly, one of our managers, Chief Creative Officer Michael Gough, brought some of the same design sensibilities we explored at Quokka Sports.

The Sony Media Center was designed to provide the best possible user experience interacting with Sony’s media properties, combined with content and brand immersion. In addition to the Media Center, our team created interactive designs for the Sony TV UI and a standalone player UI. I was program manager for the team, working with our designers, business partners, and the client to realize the future of Sony’s media experience.

Two years later the Sony Media Center design evolved to become the Adobe Media Player.
