Project: Improve thumbnails on Commonlounge Homepage

Overview

In this project, you’ll be working with the Commonlounge team.

Challenge

In this project, you’ll be working on improving the visual design of the Homepage’s thumbnails.

Problem

The course cover images, which become the thumbnails on Homepage, are submitted by the course creators. Hence the page lacks a visual cohesiveness. The Commonlounge team is looking for ways to make the screen look visually more cohesive, and they need your help!

Deliverables

Your task is to think about how you can make the page look more visually uniform. Is there a way to make the thumbnails look more consistent? Keep an open mind and come up with all the solutions that may work without making the page look tacky!

Hints and ideas

Some of the ideas you can experiment with:

Does applying color tinting to the thumbnails bring more cohesiveness to the design?

What about something like Frosted Glass Effect?

Do we really need to show thumbnails so prominently? Can we redesign the course card to make it less reliant on the thumbnail?
