Annotated wireframe for the Sears iPad app home screen.
We recommended moving the navigation from the top rail to the left rail due the tendency of users to hold a large tablet with hands on the left and right of the device.
For the search, browse and filter we also used a persistent slide out menu for the scalability and user context for "pogo-sticking" behavior. This element disappears in other sections providing a little chrome as necessary for immersive experiences.
Our vision for catalogs would evolve the familiar legacy product of a Sears catalog to a digital first experience, taking advantage the of opportunity to present interactive content in a non-linear format.
Collections as an enhancement of standard shopping lists, provide a social and curated element to the application allowing partners and friends to create, promote and share visual boards of Sears products and content.
