Digitorial - David Hockney

An interactive digital sketchbook that invites visitors to explore David Hockney’s art across an infinite canvas.

Beyond the Frame is an interactive digital story about David Hockney’s artistic practice. I developed the website around the idea of his sketchbook: instead of turning through a fixed sequence of pages, visitors move across an infinite canvas, zooming in to discover works and zooming out to see how different subjects connect. I organised the experience into eight thematic chapters based on research into Hockney’s work across painting, drawing, photography and other media. Each chapter pairs selected images with Hockney’s own words, keeping his art at the centre of the story. Animation gives the transitions between sections the feeling of moving through a living sketchbook, while music and a curated video section add further ways to engage with his work. The website also includes a blank canvas where visitors can draw their own response to Hockney’s art. Designed for both desktop and tablet, the project turns an editorial publication into an open, visual experience that encourages exploration and participation. For prototype link:
