Product feature illustration for Watson Discovery
To get users ready to use Watson Discovery’s AI features, sales experts and product leaders needed to illustrate its functionality at a high level. I created a branded illustration to be used in product documentation and promotional materials.

Watson Discovery is an AI powered document search engine, which used new and complex technology for the time.
It’s processes needed to be distilled into a simple illustration for the product documentation.
However, the illustration they used was inaccurate and visually confusing, as well as inconsistent across the various places it was used.

What I Did -
Using IBM’s isometric illustration style, I turned the user path into a more literal path of stepping stones in the AI training process.
I iterated through layouts, color palettes, and iconography while working to simplify this complex information.
This illustration is still in use today, where it lives in the product documentation as well as a variety of marketing materials and presentations.
