One of the most essential parts of this project, besides allowing users to explore their collectibles, was doing it in a way that really showcased the beautiful artwork we had created.
In our first exploration, we wanted to work the collectibles into our main interface by creating dedicated tiles for each artifact.
After our first round of explorations, we decided to move away from our main interface and give the artifacts a dedicated page where they could shine. This gave us more room to work with different layout options.
At this point, we were getting closer, but we still felt we could do more to highlight the artwork.
I wanted to embrace the artwork as much as possible for our final design, so I created a full-screen experience focused on one piece at a time. This allowed users to experience each artifact in its full glory.
One downside to a full-screen view is that users can't see their entire artifact collection, so I also included a tab that allows users to switch between the full-screen view and a grid view, providing them a choice in their viewing experience.
I wanted to stick with a similar format for mobile, so I created a full-screen swipeable view similar to TikTok, where you can see your artifact in full view and simply swipe to view the next.
I love creating these types of experiences because they are very immersive and allow us to highlight beautiful artwork.
