Empty State Design for educational platform Alison

Hi Joyce 👋 I like the cheerful vibe and neat typography — it feels very celebratory. That said, this screen reads more like a success state than an empty state. You might want to adjust the copy/CTA to guide users toward their “next step,” like exploring or enrolling in new courses. With a small tweak, it can really align with the brief. Great effort!

I believe some kind of misunderstanding might have occurred—the brief asks for an empty state message, while this one looks more like a success screen. It can make a nice success screen, but the button should work better with the title (they should be self-sufficient without body text). I'd suggest something like [Download Certificate] at least.

An empty state message in this case could be something like "You haven't completed any tasks yet" or "You haven't taken any courses," plus some kind of motivational button like "Explore Courses."

I like the design, though—the fonts are neat, the tone of voice is enthusiastic, and the imagery is appropriate, with those festive guys and confetti.

I'd recommend taking another shot at this task. I'm sure you'll nail it!
