Improving GittiGidiyor’s (eBay Turkey) product filtering with thematic questions.

In this project, I designed a set of over 200 icons for GittiGidiyor’s “Thematic Product Filtering” feature.

About the project

GittiGidiyor, focused on finding the right product, which is the most important question in the e-commerce websites, and decided to offer a user experience solution to prevent users from running into irrelevant products that users didn’t want to see, by asking them what they were searching.

For instance, when a user goes into the washing machines category, they encounter with “How much laundry do you do?” question. By selecting the suitable answer they'll be filtering among the products, even if they don't have any technical information about it.

Designing the icons

The agency that commissioned me had already provided the questions, answers and the style of the icons as they needed. So, I started drawing an icon for answer of a question. Here is a list of the ones i liked most.

I needed to show a quick preview of some detailed products with small sized icons. So, I appreciated how important research part was. Sometimes, little details make differences obvious.
