Contest Details
TopCoder has recently introduced the TopCoder Cockpit Direct Application, which allows Customers, as well as Staff, Copilots, etc., to directly engage with the TopCoder processes and Community. The goal of this contest is to redesign the Cockpit Right Sidebar. We are looking for better hierarchy of information and combining or simplifying the Right Sidebar buttons and navigation
This contest goal is to get new looks of Cockpit Direct Sidebar Redesign by re-arrange the elements in the right. Also some design update as stated more details below
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS:
- Use Dashboard.psd as base your submissions design.
- Update Project Widget Area with our new completed design at Project_Widget_Redesign.zip
- We still need updated the Project Widget. We not like "Search" and "Cancel" in this Project Widget Area. This "Search" and "Cancel" button have features to show and hide input search to search contest based on "Customer" and "Project". We need your help create more better design but still bring same functions.
- Need move the "contest filter" on the right column up. Since the filter gets used more then the other items.
- "Get a copilot", "Launch a new contest" should be placed into the same space as "Start your Project Now".
- Redesign how the buttons in "Start your Project Now" area should be configured/merged.
- Design the NEW "Start a Project Now" area to have a more "dashboard" control/button look and feel. Maybe put all the buttons into a single row? Use icons? We're looking cool solutions.
- We need to move and make launch a new contest part of the filter. Does launch new contest become a button in the project filter?
- All button needs to be refined/integrated more. Create some icon/improve them.
