very proudly ( and very late) i am finally posting my video summary of my diploma project - researching and exploring the uncanny valley effect translated to the format of web design / june/2025 / for my studies in visual communication
🫧🪽💓
The goal of my diploma project was to use my knowledge of the Uncanny Valley effect to design and code a website that offers users a personalized introduction to the topic.
The project works on two levels. First, I adapted the most important chapters from my research and organized them into five subpages, editing the text to fit a web format. Second, I explored UI/UX design by intentionally adding small malfunctions to the website. This allows users not only to learn about the Uncanny Valley effect conceptually, but also to experience it in real time while using the site.
My aim was to translate this principle—normally associated with human likeness—into the context of digital design and the web, encouraging reflection on how we interact with websites and the internet. While the interactive and personalized design is the main focus, the content remains accessible with some patience and experimentation. Blue info icons with question marks provide guidance, and the About section includes an open guide for users who get stuck.
