I started thinking about user search paths, and what shapes those might take online. Here are some sketches in that vein:
Attempting to visualize these search paths begins to illuminate the fact that there are many different kinds of users using search tools, and that their experiences can be very different, depending on individual skill level, context for the search at hand, and how hard the information online is to sift through. I'm not completely sure how these sketches will inform my visual studies in the next few weeks, but it has been useful to start thinking about this in a more visual way.
