Design Scope
Device focus
The UI/UX design was specifically optimized for PC and Laptop use, considering a screen size width of 1440 px, which aligns with the predominant hardware usage in classroom settings.
​
User centricity
With teachers as the main target audience, the design strategy prioritized minimalism and ease-of-use. Decorative elements were restrained to avoid distractions and maintain user focus.
​
Origami-inspired aesthetics
The design mainly incorporated geometric elements with non-rounded corners, capturing the precision of origami folds, while striking a balance between the playful spirit of origami-based learning and the academic seriousness of geometry education..
What I Learned
Through this project, I learned the importance of strategic decision-making in branding, from logo creation to typography and color choices. I recognized how each element must align with the brand's values and messages and convey these effectively to the audience.
​
This experience underscored the power of effective branding in differentiating a company in a competitive marketplace and how it forms the foundation of a company's relationship with its customers.
