Adblock Detection Pop-up
Adblockers were undermining BRNDTS’s content monetization technology, blocking ads before they could load. I designed a pop-up that detected adblocker usage and locked the user’s screen with a message asking them to disable it, only disappearing once the adblocker was turned off. The design adapted to each client’s visual identity, keeping the experience professional and consistent with their brand.
Monetize Letter Box
When users watched horizontal videos in portrait mode, or vertical videos in landscape mode, large areas of the screen were left empty and unused. I designed a monetization strategy that filled that space with a CSS gradient background in the client’s colours, paired with their logo and an ad, either static or rotating at a client defined interval. The same approach was adapted for desktop and other relevant breakpoints, turning unused screen space into a monetization opportunity.
Custom Video Control Bar
Platform policies from YouTube and Dailymotion prevented any elements from being placed over their video players, meaning every feature had to live within the control bar itself. I designed a control bar where features such as subtitles, playback speed, video quality, and fullscreen expanded on hover or click, pushing other elements aside to stay visible without overlapping the player. The bar was built responsively across all breakpoints, with non essential features scaled back on smaller screens.
