The Future of Design Campus

By joining Design Campus, you unlock a world of resources to nurture your design skills. Immerse yourself in a vibrant community of like-mind creators and engage in design discussions. Embrace this opportunity to expand and unleash your potential!

We're proud to announce some pretty big changes coming to the community in the upcoming week, and would like to set some goals for the future. One of the most notable changes, is the dismissal of Design Academy - say hello to Design Campus.


Step 1: Wait, what's Design Campus?

It's time to share likely the most exciting news of this article! As you may be aware, the Discord Admin Community has transformed and is now known as Discord Admins, or DA for short. As DAC/DA is quite notable, we've decided it's in our best interests to rename Design Academy to avoid any confusion.

This fresh name continues to reflect our commitment to creating a supportive environment where both seasoned and aspiring designers can thrive with one another. We've carefully considered our new name, ensuring that we continue to promote the spirit of collaboration and helping every step of the way. Introducing the all new - Design Campus!


Step 2: The all new branding for DC!

Woah, are we excited to share this with you! Our branding has received a makeover, and we aren't stopping! Get excited for a fresh wave of updates, and some other exciting updates! We want to create a server that is professional, yet cosy. But that's not everything! We're also planning to remake the icon each month with a new theme! Can you guess what we have in store for June? 🏳️‍🌈 Your input is greatly appreciated, and we would love to hear your thoughts! Together, let's create a more remarkable and welcoming place.


Step 3: Creating a welcoming community!

So we can create a more supportive atmosphere, we've made some changes to Channels & Roles. To start, we've improved the questions, by carefully curating emojis to match with titles, combining some of the design fields, adding a new question to help us learn more about you and lots more!

We've also made some changes to Default Channels to make it more logical & intuitive. This includes a new question on onboarding, to opt in/out of different channels in the server with ease. With Server Guide, we are actively working on adding new features to give it that shiny sparkle, expect some changes over the next few weeks!

To help us streamline everything, we've removed some channels, either by merging them with existing ones or removing them entirely. This allows us to create more specific channels to better cater your design needs. We understand streamlining may take time, but we're committed to building the best community for you.
