As the biggest international/exchange student organization on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin, Planet Longhorn’s brand needed to resonate with a diverse student body, reflecting a vibrant, inclusive, and dynamic community.
Creating a magazine-style experience.
When developing the wireframes for Planet Longhorn's website, the goal was to emulate the immersive, visually-rich experience of a magazine. This approach aimed to showcase the community's spirit and inclusivity through photography, thus creating a dynamic and engaging user experience.
Engaging exploration and storytelling.
The website emphasizes international community inclusivity at every turn, using words and quotes as a foundation, supported by subtle interactions along the way to make the experience feel sincere and tangible.
