Editorial Court
A badminton court is not a billboard. It is a magazine in continuous publication.
01 · Editorial Court
Editorial Court is Aplus's visual constant — translating the experience of the court into the restraint of a magazine. Near-black and warm cream make the stage; brass hairlines do the dividing; green and court red appear only on identity and a few CTAs.
02 · Type, restrained
Serif display · sans body · monospace numerals.
No gradients. No box-shadows. No emoji. No Bootstrap rounded cards.
Blue is banned across the spectrum — blue is InfoLead's technology language, not Aplus's court language.
03 · Consistency in detail
Every divider — a brass hairline.
Every figure — JetBrains Mono.
Every coach portrait — dark wall, warm white light, 3/4 turn.
04 · Designed for Aplus's people
A 50-year-old parent reads small type on a Tesla screen.
A player glances at the score under cold gym light.
A parent thumbs through a coach's background between meetings.
Text scales — A- / A / A+.
Contrast 4.5 : 1 and above.
Touch targets 44px and above.
Screen-reader readable.
WCAG 2.1 AA · key pages AAA.
05 · This is not a template
SaaS templates cover everyone with one font, one size — because customization is expensive.
LingDao tunes for the people who actually use Aplus — because this is not a template.
Every Aplus element was designed for Aplus, not reused from the next client's palette.
Tuned together by LingDao Studio and Aplus.
06 · A magazine in continuous publication
New things happen on the court every day — we keep the site in step.
Scores update. Champion photos go up. The second anniversary becomes the third.
Design is not a one-time launch. It is a long-term agreement.
