Find Your Next Favorite Book

This is unsolicited concept work for a social-driven reading website. I interviewed users of a popular site for readers and book recommendations. It became evident that searching for and receiving book recommendations was one of the top priorities, especially for those users who like to diversify what they read.

With that in mind, I set out to design a home page that took this into account by prioritizing the search feature with the supporting slogan "Find Your Next Favorite Book" in addition to a carousel that highlights top book recommendations. This could pull books based on popularity among the user-base, new releases, best of the year, and so on.

In mobile, the hierarchy and focus is kept intact despite the smaller viewport and the carousel shifts to a centered, swipeable feature so that the interaction is not lost.
