The Sketchbook Project
Speculative redesign of The Sketchbook Project website. The search and discovery of sketchbooks is the priority of this website. The user is constantly confronted with the search bar and opportunities to browse tags, encouraging them to explore the sketchbooks and think about what interests them. The interactivity of the search space works to engage users in the books and keep them interested while navigating the site.
