PROJECT OVERVIEW
Columbia Cards is a short explainer animation created to help newly admitted Columbia College Chicago students understand the difference between the Columbia ID and the Ventra U-Pass. Using a friendly character, simple visuals, and clear motion, the animation explains the purpose of each card and how they work together to help students navigate both campus life and commuting throughout Chicago. The project was designed to transform what can often be a confusing part of the onboarding process into an approachable and engaging visual guide, making essential information easier to understand and remember.
