I'll create a modern, futuristic dashboard with a cosmic theme using Next.js and the App Router. I'll implement the design and features you've described using React components, Tailwind CSS for styling, and some custom animations. Let's start with the main layout and then break down the individual sections.
Title: Project Submission Portal | Cosmic UI | Connect Sphere
Description:
Design a Project Submission Page with a futuristic cosmic theme that integrates smooth animations, glowing UI panels, and interactive onboarding tips. The page should feel immersive, guiding users through a multi-step submission process with a mix of text, media uploads, and social links. The form should be engaging, intuitive, and visually connected to a cosmic theme, using a dark nebula-inspired background with floating elements and soft glowing accents.
🌌 Visual Theme – Cosmic UI
Background: A deep-space starry cosmos with subtle nebula swirls and shooting stars for an immersive experience.
Panels & Inputs: Glowing, glassmorphic input fields and floating panels with soft neon borders (blue, purple, and cyan tones).
Buttons & Actions: Animated, pulsating buttons with a subtle glow effect when hovered over.
Hover Effects: Elements like input fields, buttons, and icons slightly float and glow on hover.
3D Elements: Floating UI panels with depth effects, giving an illusion of a futuristic holographic interface.
