Deakin University - Student Platform re-design
A fairly conservative approach was required in the re-design of the Deakin University student lifestyle website. Nothing too flashy to distract students from their studies.
The previous site was considered 'plain', while some functionality on the events page was confusing. For example, when looking at function times and dates, students would get confused with how the time and date were displayed. It was also extremely small and hard to read.
Browsing the events page and navigating through the many pages was tedious and booking events wasn't really intuitive.
Re-designed to be more aspirational, injecting some highlights of colour and keeping in line with their existing design system.
