Designed around the experiences of dyslexic children, this platform uses accessible typography, carefully considered visual systems, and engaging illustrations to support intuitive learning. through this project i explored illustration styles that could make otherwise unfamiliar tech based brands in india feel more rooted, through features.

Stage 1
We explored STEM education, accessibility, and educational technology in India. This research revealed a need for an inclusive, buildable STEM platform designed for neurodivergent learners.
Stage 2
We studied dyslexia, learning psychology, gamification, and concepts such as the IKEA Effect. These insights helped shape a learning experience that is engaging, confidence-building, and hands-on.
Stage 3
Research findings were translated to design accessible typography, colour systems, and information hierarchy. These decisions informed the visual identity, interface, and overall user experience of JAMUN.
Typography decisions were informed by research on dyslexia-friendly reading patterns and readability studies. Dyslexia Mono was selected after evaluating multiple typefaces for character distinction, spacing, and reading comfort.
The colour palette was developed using WCAG accessibility standards and research on visual processing difficulties. Contrast ratios and readability testing ensured that every colour choice balanced engagement with accessibility.
Layout decisions were guided by research on cognitive load, reading comprehension, and dyslexia-friendly interfaces. Text size, spacing, content chunking, and navigation were structured to create a clear and predictable user experience.
The amount of research that goes into designing for specialized communities and their needs, the amount of work that goes into inclusive desing, and how itnerestingly not a lot of websites really base their projects around it, and got me thinking how we can make universal design like for these kids more universal
