CURRICULUM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DASHBOARD

# AcademiaOS: Comprehensive System Overview & Feature Specification

## 1. Design Vision: "Lumina Plasticity"

AcademiaOS is built on a custom design language called **Lumina Plasticity**. This aesthetic moves beyond flat design into a tactile, 3D world.

*  **Materiality:** Soft-touch plastic surfaces with "pillowy" depth.

*  **Lighting:** Realistic ambient occlusion, soft drop shadows, and subtle subsurface scattering (inner glows).

*  **Interactivity:** Buttons and cards use "convex" (protruding) and "concave" (pressed-in) states to provide physical feedback.

*  **Color Palette:** A dark-mode base (#0C0E10) accented by pastel "Lumina Blue" (#89D0ED) and soft neon status indicators.
