Artist Book Redesign

description

Many students and visitors to Emily Carr University are unaware of the library's extensive collection of Artist Books.  These rare, beautiful and often expensive books are tucked away to protect them from moisture as well as theft.  We were tasked with coming up with an interactive way to make the library's Artist Book collection more engaging and accessible.  In response, we designed a large touchscreen surface that allowed simple navigation of high resolution representations of the entire catalogue while simultaneously showing you where each book was stored by activating a light on the appropriate drawer.
