Project Overview
InterMedianer:in is an online portfolio platform for InterMedia students. The goal was to design a clean and minimal prototype that makes student projects visible, easy to browse, and connected to opportunities through a simple job board.
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.

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.
