Round 1
IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS:
- We want to see how the UI defines a new workflow and how the tasks can be completed, please focus more on high level application flow and less on low level details.
- This is a desktop application, web style interface won't apply.
- Do not replicate the existing UI, the client wants something new, something that will bring totally different workflow as described in the conceptualization spec.
- There will be many options to be shown and thus a metro style UI will not work, please think of something different that will work efficiently.
