Problem

Solution

  • The existing website had outdated visuals and inconsistent layouts.

  • Navigation was confusing, especially on mobile.

  • Articles lacked hierarchy — headlines, images, and text often blended together.

  • The digital experience didn’t reflect the energy or professionalism of the student journalists behind it.

  • Reorganized site structure to make articles easier to browse by section (News, Sports, Opinion, etc.).

  • Introduced a modern, modular layout system for consistent visual hierarchy.

  • Designed a clean, responsive interface optimized for reading and accessibility.

  • Updated typography and color palette to align with the publication’s academic and professional identity.
