The Design Student’s Survival Kit
No Gatekeeping
A free web directory of design resources, built for students who need an easy way to find the tools that will help their academic work. Designed and developed independently for HiT VC Department.
The Problem
As a design student, valuable resources—from quality mockups and fonts to local print shop recommendations—are often scattered across bookmark folders, WhatsApp groups, and word-of-mouth advice. There was no single "source of truth" tailored specifically for the Israeli design student experience.
The Solution
Index is a centralized, digital hub designed to be the ultimate starting point for visual communication students. It aggregates the most essential tools and knowledge into one accessible platform.
It’s based on TETRIS shapes, my way of showing that design is a building process, and it might take time and failure, but these resources will help the student be a better designer.
Key Features:
• The Toolbox: A curated collection of high-quality, free assets (fonts, mockups, plugins).
• The Local Map: A guide to the best print shops, art supply stores, and student-friendly services in the area.
• The Museum & Hall of Fame: An educational archive of must-know designers, studios, and visual movements to bridge the gap between history and practice.
• Community Driven: Includes a "Student Tips" section where knowledge is passed down from seniors to juniors.
