Gymnasium Reloaded

In a joint project with Max Herrmann, we dedicated ourselves to the prototypical redesign of the school website of the Karl-Friedrich-Schinkel Gymnasium in Neuruppin. A UX review follows in advance.

Oct 2021 – Feb 2022 • Uni-Project • Figma

After identifying the biggest problems with the current website, we identified basic goals, important users and a guiding principle for the future site.

The combination of new color, font and design language has created a branding that gives the school a fresh and inclusive look. The Schinkel angle forms a central and at the same time historical figurative mark element.

The iconic notepad features prominently on the reimagined website as a space for important messages.

In order to enable better student participation, the new site includes a project area where results from study groups and personal projects, for example, can be uploaded.

The project presented the exciting task of intelligently combining interface and branding elements and implementing them in a target group-orientated environment. In the end, the Karl-Friedrich-Schinkel-Gymnasium was given an appealing identity and the extensive content was structured more clearly. The innovations in the redesign could significantly improve communication between students and teachers – without compromising the usability of the pages.
