A sleek, modern digital dashboard displayed on a matte silver laptop, featuring a clean interface of interconnected folders, chat bubbles, and a calendar widget—all rendered with subtle gradients in neutral tones of soft gray, slate blue, and ivory. The laptop sits centered on a minimalist white desk with smooth lines, surrounded by tidy, geometric office accessories like a closed notebook and pen holder. Soft daylight pours in from the left, casting delicate, natural highlights on the device and faint, refined shadows around the workspace. Captured head-on at eye-level, the composition emphasizes order and professionalism, evoking a sense of secure digital community. The style is photographic realism with a structured, corporate aesthetic, perfectly aligning with a professional SaaS platform.

DolphinConnect for CSUCI

A pristine white bulletin board featuring neatly organized paper cards, each card embossed with raised icons for collaboration—books, message symbols, and paper clips—in muted taupe and cobalt accents. The board is mounted on a smooth, dove-gray wall with subtle horizontal grain, surrounded by a clean border that creates visual balance. Overhead diffused studio lighting gently illuminates the board, providing even, soft illumination that highlights the subtle textures and crisp lines of each card. Framed with a slightly elevated angle and shallow depth of field, achieving a sophisticated, inviting mood. The minimalist, photographic style underscores academic sharing and structured interaction, well-suited for a campus student network.
