The Library of Congress

"Drawing Justice: the art of courtroom illustration" was a special exhibition by the Library of Congress. For this exhibition, I designed an interactive touchscreen, which allowed visitors to explore these courtroom drawings in greater depth — organized by theme, or organized by artist.

Initial design

In the initial design phase, when I wasn't certain how many artists would be represented in this interactive, I designed the main menu screens slightly differently.

"Explore by Topic" had a very vertical theme. "Explore by Artist" had a more horizontal theme to it.

Prototype Screenflow from Adobe XD

I did most of my designing in Adobe Experience Design (XD), and I recorded this screen flow of the interactions during the design phase. Background colors, interaction animations, scrolling and multitouch capabilities such as pinching and zooming were fine-tuned later.

Transition Animation

I produced this transition animation in Adobe After Effects to show all the stakeholders how I imagined the transition from the main menu to the topic pages would appear.

Drawing Justice Interactive Attract

This was the attract that I designed for the interactive.
