Challenge Summary
LendingTree is building an application that allows Lenders to self-register to setup a profile on the LendingTree Network. Part of the Lender Profile setup relates to Filter Management. Filters allow a Lender to set the criteria and the number of leads they will receive per day for a given product. Each combination of criteria and number of leads is called a filter.
For this contest, you will combine the top two winning storyboard designs into a more refined look and feel. The changes are based on client feedback as well as any additional updates you think will benefit the overall design.
