Scribd- "No Search Results Found"

Part of the system of empty and error state illustrations done for Scribd's 2016-17 rebrand project.

This was actually the first illustration done in the empty/error state system and helped to inform the others. The reason I started here is because the idea of "search" is such a non-abstract thing to represent, so it had plenty to draw from.

The spot illustration colors were adapted to this more subdued palette to help further emphasize the empty/error user cases. I kept a single accent color on the focus element to help tie it to the context.
