Taking Care is an initiative by 14 different museums that is led by the Weltmuseum Wien. They asked for our help to create a platform to publish and exchange insights about potential implications of global warming on their collections.

The documents that would be published on the platform are of scientific nature and they would usually come in the form of plain texts. The challenge was to create a visually appealing and interesting user experience that would excite readers without the need for any additional imagery.

We deconstructed their logo to create a design system consisting of different geometric shapes, colors and typography. This made it sustainable for management to update the platform as more research was shared with them.

To further compensate for the lack of photos, we added interactive and joyful elements for users to discover. For example, the user's mouse movement creates a wind that lets some flowers dance around the site or the movement is followed by the gazes of an illustrated eye.

The result exceeded their expectations. The content hub is structured as a grid of modules that is scalable, colorful and interactive. The final site presents research and academic insights in a variety of fun ways.
