How I Sketch

I don’t consider myself very good at drawing, but I do like conceptualizing ideas with pen and paper!

Here, the team was prototyping concepts for the Guide homepage.

Our client mentioned that he wanted the process of learning with his platform to feel fun, so my sketches explored ways we could make the user feel immersed from the start of the Guide experience.

1. Create a mascot or virtual assistant to serve as your “guide”

2. Make clicking links feel like passing landmarks on a journey, like a road trip

3. Make navigation an experience, like driving

4. Make navigation feel like following a recipe

5. Make the dashboard look like a TV screen and simulate the experience of browsing a TV menu

6. Make the experience of using Guide feel like taking turns in a board game

7. Use a more responsive webpage layout
