twitter for Windows Phone | Redesign concept

[Juan Pablo Ursic]

Hi guys! Since this is concepts subforum, hope it's here where this should be posted and not in application forum, but if has to be moved, so be it.

Anyway, i did a little redesign concept on twitter, since the official app is like two years UI outdated. Hope you like it.

A couple of screens:

Yes please. This is the perfect modern design for Twitter.
Congrats on the concept.

Nice design, but I am not sure if I am digging the bold fonts for the headers (Timeline, Connect etc). Something like Segoe UI Light maybe? Overall, I'd give 8/10 for the design!

not sure if I am digging the bold fonts for the headers

me too.. I think the overbold fonts are kind of old WP and not modern

Love it. Get twitter on it!

 

[spideymaniac]

So cool dude, why don't cha contact some guy at Twitter and send him this? LOL

 

[Juan Pablo Ursic]

Some here, some there, told me to do it with small caps and light font. So here it is.

 

[Laura Knotek]

I really like it! Do you have any ideas for a dark theme? I prefer dark, rather than light themes.

 

[melvintwj]

That looks so much better already! Also +1520 for the dark theme idea

Would you guys think it's nicer if the default Twitter blue followed the accent setting instead?

 

[Jonah Park]

Very nice! I actually prefer the boldface text over thin fonts.

So far you're the only person who posted a concept design that wasn't completely awful. But it's still a big waste of time, unless you can contact twitter and somehow convince them to make a new app.

I'm also not a big fan of the old WP way of doing things where half the options are off the screen (for swiping). It was good back then, but really, it would be a big timesaver if I can just click and go strait to what I want instead of swiping. Kind of like how the new onedrive app works.
