AnyHow

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Duration

2024 Sep - Dec

Position

UI/UX Designer

AnyHow is a web platform with bite-sized guides to help busy people and creators quickly learn or share knowledge on any topic. Currently, most platforms are niche-specific, focusing on areas like coding, finance, or design. They usually operate on subscription-based models, forcing users to subscribe to multiple services to access a broad range of knowledge. This approach results in added costs and inconvenience for learners who want to explore multiple fields in one place.

Challenges

A major factor we address is the increasing difficulty people face in maintaining focus for extended periods, due to the popularity of short-form content like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Traditional learning platforms tend to rely on long-form content, which can be a challenge for modern learners used to quicker, more digestible forms of media.

Solutions

Our platform is designed to adapt to these changing consumption habits by offering short, focused learning modules alongside more comprehensive content, allowing users to engage at their own pace. 

AnyHow will not rely on expert-led courses. Instead, we empower users to produce and share their own content, creating a community-driven ecosystem. This approach not only makes learning more accessible but also encourages collaboration and the sharing of diverse perspectives. The user-generated content model enables learners to contribute their knowledge and skills, enriching the platform with a wide variety of educational resources that evolve over time.

User Flows

Branding

Values: At the core of AnyHow are three values: Dynamic, Informative, and Focused. These values shape how our brand interacts with users. Offering quick, to-the-point educational content that is always relevant and targeted.  |

Concept: AnyHow aims to create a seamless learning experience with short-form educational content, designed for busy people who want quick, meaningful learning opportunities.

Icon 

Features a book with a bite to represent bite-sized learning, sitting on a squircle for balance and structure.
 
A dynamic logo animation is used during content loading states. It showcases the Anyhow icon (a book flipping its pages while gently floating in the air) adding personality and keeping users engaged during wait times.

The wordmark 

The brand colors create a dynamic contrast, while the tagline highlights our mission of delivering quick, focused knowledge.

Color selection

Our color palette features Green AnyHow, a vibrant, energetic neon green, which pairs with AnyHow Dark Purple, a sophisticated shade that brings balance. These colors were chosen to evoke energy and trustworthiness, perfectly aligned with our values.

Typeface

We chose Satoshi as our primary typeface. It's modern, clean, and perfectly suited for our focus on clarity. The simplicity of this font ensures that our users are never distracted from the content they came to see.
