Visual introduction to Design Society. The project title, role and status are adjacent.

The society needed one official place for practical membership information, current events, careers, media and the people behind the community, without losing the playful personality students already recognised.

Direction

I translated the society's identity into a responsive component system. Oversized type, selection-box cues, interface motion and Ditto give the site a student-made energy while the route structure keeps actions direct.

Result

A live official site that brings useful society information and a more expressive digital personality into one system across multiple routes and screen sizes.

01

Built with the community, for the community

The site is not a speculative concept. It is official internal-team work, shaped around the actual membership, event, career, media and team content students need to find.

A system with enough personality

Bold type and motion make the site feel recognisably Design Society, but every expressive move is tied to a useful route or recurring component. Ditto works as a character inside the system rather than extra navigation chrome.
