Why Redesign?

The core purpose of this application is to make the student’s life more efficient by providing the necessary details in an organized manner. I felt the overall experience can be improved significantly.

Comparing Screens

Sign-In Screen

  1. The first thing I did is increase the size of the university’s logo and aligned it to the centre. Thereby emphasizing the university instead of the “Sign In” text.
  2. I changed the colors of apps’ interface to the one more prominent on the university logo and made them more consistent with each other by giving a rounded edge to the buttons.
  3. The Sign In page often took more time to load, I intended to reduce this by replacing it with a white solid background along with a layer of translucent geometric shapes which would resonate well with the university. This also fixed some of the legibility issues the previous design had.

Home Screen

  1. I decided to remove the text field below the image slider considering the posters gave just-enough information for interested users to click on them and read more about that specific event
  2. Next, I added the News and Media section below as there are several important “Press Releases” posted by the University from time to time which also contain information about ongoing researches.
