One Week

The Linux Club

Overview

Cyber-0-Day 3.0 is a cybersecurity event platform developed for the Linux Club at VIT Chennai. It hosts CTF challenges, workshops, and speaker sessions, all set within a bold, hacker-inspired interface that reflects the event’s theme of ethical hacking and cyber awareness.

Approach

The design was grounded in a strong visual identity inspired by cyberpunk and terminal aesthetics. I structured user flows for participants, organizers, and mentors, prioritizing clarity in registration, challenge participation, and schedule tracking. The interface balances thematic depth with usability, ensuring it remains engaging without compromising on accessibility.

Case Study

Role: UX and Web Designer

Overview

Cyber-0-Day 3.0 is a cybersecurity-themed event platform created for the Linux Club at VIT Chennai. The site served as the central portal for participants to explore CTF challenges, register for workshops, view resources, and stay updated during the event. The design focused on delivering an immersive, hacker-inspired experience.

Problem

Most university event sites look generic and fail to match the tone of technical themes. The goal was to create a high-engagement platform with a distinct hacker aesthetic, strong visual storytelling, and seamless functionality across devices.

Solution

I designed a fully themed platform that let users:

  • Browse events and CTF challenges

  • Register and attend workshops

  • Access schedules, resources, and live announcements

  • Engage with a stylized interface that reflected the world of cybersecurity

My Approach

  • Theme Building: Developed a bold hacker-inspired design with terminal-like visuals and a dark color scheme

  • User Flows: Structured intuitive paths for registration, event participation, and live updates

  • Design System: Used 3D graphics, glitch effects, and dynamic layouts to enhance immersion

  • Performance: Optimized for mobile and desktop with fast load times and responsive components

Key Features

  • Challenge and workshop listings

  • Live updates and result announcements

  • Hacker-themed UI with 3D visuals

  • Smooth performance across screen sizes

  • Custom-designed registration and info flows

Additional Contributions

All project assets were created by me using Blender. The terrain featured throughout the site was generated procedurally using geometry nodes. Beyond the web platform, I also designed the entire event branding and content package including promotional posters, Instagram grids, animated reels, and a complete aftermovie that I filmed and edited. These helped unify the visual identity across both web and social media.

Outcome

The platform elevated the event’s identity and engagement levels. Participants appreciated the immersive look and feel, while organizers benefited from a reliable, easy-to-update platform that matched the event’s intensity and technical theme.
