Academic paper re-design
2023
Have you ever noticed how
boring academic research
articles can be?
Have you experienced the agony of attempting and swallowing them for university work despite their unpleasant design?
I did, therefore I came up with
a workable solution and pursued this task with a problem-solving mindset. All of the choices here
are meant to help the reader
and keep their attention:
subtle cream-shaded paper, more white space in text, a type pairing that is easily understandable but still has personality and guides eyes, interactive elements like image and text foldouts,
as well as separate mini-booklets for references and glossary to organise the contents in a more accessible way.
