Before
After
Narrowing search results down with suggested tags. Tags can be added or delete, depending on the users selection tags will reorder themselves and fill up with new related tag until no suggestions are available anymore. With each click on a tag search will refresh and display new designs.
Going deeper in search with filter thumbnails. These product previews allow a user to filter by attributes without having to type them in.
Filter exploration to test styles, illustration vs image, size, list and selections.
Challenges
Finding a way to bring value to the tag behavoir for users to understand.
E.g. meaning of the color, interaction, how do the tags move
UX Goals
Visualizing search for more engagement and better discovery of new designs.
Bigger, better visualization
Users are more engaged with search when they have an idea what they get themselves into. Creating big filter thumbnails for product related attributes increased searching and helps users to find products and designs faster.
