Sharkopedia

An encyclopedia all about sharks

Shark Week is a big deal for Discovery Channel. Our client partners wanted something splashy and informational for shark fans. We delivered. I was the main designer on this project and provided the vision for the interaction and look and feel for the experience.

Editorial as inspiration

The design and interaction of the site was largely inspired by editorial experiences, since there was so much reading and research behind the end product. The main shark feature pages had a flip book interaction that was engaging and very visual.

Planning is half the fun

I wireframed the experience prior to the build to get alignment on build, which along with content entry, would be extensive. We ended up staying fairly true to the intention I mapped out.
