The problem

The EDM community is navigating a fragmented digital landscape

EDM fans don't have a single place to discover events and secure tickets. Instead, they jump between festival websites, venue pages, ticketing platforms, and social media just to keep up with lineups and release dates.

I began to wonder: what if there was a single verified home where every beat and every ticket lived in one place?

Core Features

A search-driven community forum

Aura connects the official lineup with the real fan experience through a searchable community forum. By typing in a festival, artist, or city, fans can jump into conversations to coordinate rides, find last-minute tickets, or discover side activities like yoga or pool parties. It's a space where ravers share tips, ask questions, and post real-time updates—keeping the global EDM community connected before, during, and after every event.

The UI Approach

Aura was designed with a dark mode interface so the colorful festival imagery could stand out. Because the photos already carry a lot of visual energy, the rest of the interface was kept simple and consistent using a minimal layout and a single teal accent color to avoid overwhelming the user.

The hierarchy is heavily driven by imagery rather than text. By prioritizing imagery over heavy text, Aura remains visually immersive without sacrificing the functionality of a clean, easy-to-scan interface.
