Refined lines

I wanted to start exploring how the design would look in a grid view where you could look at a lot of memories at once. I also wanted to test how multiple timelines would look and how someone would look at them in the image above, the user can see each year of their lives in a separate lines. The idea would be that if they pressing on the lines, they’d be take to the screen on the right where they could see the memories a little deeper.

I liked this idea, but I wanted to move a little deeper with vertical setups. See below

I liked the vertical aspect of this a lot, and started to play with how you could seacrh and sort with them, bringing out the horizontal lines of the category you’re filtering so that you can see them in your timeline a little better.

Lastly, you can see below how I moved further into the idea. In this short scenario, the user has search for a friend named “David Cin” (buddy of mine from New Balance), and found that their lives crossed at certain points in time.

I think this will be the running design that I move forward with. It permits a lot of space for viewing the memories as well as providing the areas that I need for search, sort, and the eventual iconography.
