This is one of my homework in The User Interface class. Teacher assigned us to redesign www.regis.ku.ac.th, the registration website for Kasetsart university's students.
To encourage students to have a good creative idea, to keep doing with that concept and to make it easier to be used than ever are the main purposes of this class.
In this case, I used the concept 'Images are remembered easily'. So,I changed the previous website that has a lot of texts and links that made people confused with them. I replaced all necessary links to sub-websites
with cartoon characters on the homepage. I used various animal cartoons because each animal has its own character. One animal for one sub-link's task, so we can know what each link is for because we remember the characters of each link's animal mascot.
The new homepage I designed for www.regis.ku.ac.th , creating a learning environment. When users move cursor pass each characters in front of the blackboard, it will show a pop-up thumbnail of website that it links to, or users can click on the small characters in the bottom of homepage |
And these are animal cartoons I illustrated to be the mascots of each necessary link.
