Slack eBooks and Illustrations

Companion Guidebooks

Slack’s editorial and marketing teams wanted to create a new resources page allowing downloads of new eBooks that demonstrate the product’s usability for different roles.

I approached the design of the eBooks from an editorial-focused perspective: treating each book as its own item, with illustrations specific to the content, and a different illustration style and theme for each booklet. They were all unified through a single-spot color style as well as the same typographic style and layout. This creates a cohesive set, while still making each unique, so that as they grow over time, the page becomes more of a library of resources.

App Space Tutorial

The Slack sidebar was launching a new integration to bring more third-party apps into the product, and with it, we needed to create a tutorial highlighting this new capability.

We designed a modal with three illustrations plus copy detailing this new way to install apps. I created the illustrations for each stage of the tutorial.
