Challenge
Challenge
InterMedia students often showcase their projects on scattered platforms like Instagram or Behance. This makes it difficult to find, compare, or present work in a professional way. The challenge was to design one central, student-focused portfolio space that is simple, curated, and highlights the creative work instead of distracting with heavy design.

Impact
Impact
Positive feedback from students. Interest in using the platform and motivation to showcase work. Proved that a minimal UI can be powerful when the focus is on content. Created a strong base for a future live MVP, beyond just a concept.

Learnings
Learnings
Minimalism works best when content is rich, less UI means more focus on the projects.
A single typeface can create consistency and reduce visual noise.
Clear filters and simple forms improve usability and lower the barrier for publishing.
