d-server
The d-server is a website for the students of the faculty Design of the Technische Hochschule Georg Simon Ohm in Nuremberg. Developed during the pandemic, students can upload and categorize their work and explore what their fellow students created.
Primarily developed for internal use, this platform is also used for the public exhibition at the end of the semester.
Created together with Simona and with support from a few students, this is a long time project that will evolve and change as time goes on. Currently there are two different designs available, a darker column-style design inspired by old computer terminals, and a brighter masonry-style design with different filters.
Based on a highly customized WordPress system with a custom coded theme and plugins and a custom admin area for students to upload their work.
