Creative Conscience Award brief:
“Use your creativity as a catalyst for positive change to benefit ethical, moral 
and worthwhile causes.”

The Challenge:
While working on my dissertation, I realized the important role of critical thinking in empowering individuals. Many young people are denied the opportunity to become critical thinkers as they aren’t able to cope financially with the increased fees for higher education. This is where “Huddle” was born. Huddle is an interactive online platform that facilitates discussion and the sharing of problem-solving techniques
to help people address current issues and debates. 

The design challenge was to visually represent what Huddle stands for and make it attractive to its audience- young people (18-30 years old). To reflect the character of the global community in creative collaboration, I returned back to elementary school days. To invoke the sense of this learning environment through the design, I used elements such as a blackboard, chalk font, illustrations and a paper texture for the background.
