cybergrad
The 'CyberGrad' software application was created to train users on the basics of cyber security through interactive lessons and problems. For the project our team considered using a pre-built Learning Management System but instead decided to create a new custom software application. This project was a challenge because of the rapid design & development pace - from inception to shipping the final CyberGrad product was completed in just under six months.
The training software allows teachers to assign lessons and quizzes and for students to view and work through those assignments. Both students and teachers also have account dashboards to manage course progression. The lesson material was developed by My responsibilities for the CyberGrad project included:

The Cybergrad project was developed in collaboration with Red Team training experts k>fivefour who created the red and blue team lesson material. My main responsibility in this project was to design UI/UX features for the cyber security training application. As a team, we decided to create a new custom application rather than start with an out-of-the-box software solution which resulted in a higher quality design and a better experience for the user. In addition to assisting with the app's UI/UX, I was responsible for creating the logo and badge sets

As with the entire project, the logo was to be created as an original design. There were many logo ideas submitted by the team, but eventually the name CyberGuard was chosen. However, at the last minute, it was proposed to change the name from CyberGuard to CyberGrad.
