Intimate Sex Education

  • Rebecca Duncan

With only 30% of students claiming their school sex education prepared them for adult life (NUS, 2015), many feel that the UK system is outdated and too focussed on the biology. With curriculums ignoring topics relevant to modern relationships, today’s teens are forced to turn to pornography or informational websites for their sex education. While porn can give teens harmful ideas about sex, existing websites are also inappropriate, being too text-heavy for a generation of visual communicators. Intimate is a website that seeks to give teens practical and up-to date information on modern sex & relationships. Different from existing resources & designed with internet-savvy teenagers in mind, the site uses animated GIFs to support all educational content making concepts clear & simple to understand. The logo is designed to be open to interpretation. Less experienced teenagers might see two people in the letter 'i', others might see a sexual organ. The chalk texture gives the brand warmth & personality, implying the content won’t look at sex clinically.
