What is CSFV?
The Crowd Sourced Formal Verification (CSFV) program seeks to make formal program verification more cost-effective by reducing the skill set required for verification. The approach is to transform software verification (testing) into a more accessible task by creating a game that reflects the code model. Basically, the users will be playing games and at the same time they will be making software verification. We are looking to use the tool to verify open source software.
We envision this site as a global community with sub-sites focused on games, a nice mix of social features and heavy information delivery (social network + gaming website). The website concept is about breaking it down into global website and sub-sites, we will have 5 unique games, and each game will have a dedicated sub-site with content specific to that game, the main/global website will work as an aggregator of the sub-sites and as a Social network community, that means the sub-sites will have the same layout and navigation of the global website with different theme/colors/styles but delivering content specific to the game.
This description is meant to guide you on how the site works. This contest only focuses on designing some pages of the main community site using the provided storyboards as graphic reference and the wireframes as main layout/UI guidance.
Branding and Guidelines
- The overall look must match the current design. Notice that “Consistency” is part of the judgment criteria for this contest, make it feel the same.
- Use web-safe fonts for the pages content.
- Your design must fit 1024 pixels wide screen resolution.
- Colors must match and appeal the current colors from the provided design.
- Keep the same naming system for the files. Scheme: ID_SCREENNAME_FEATURE. Sample: 02_Public_Profile_myfriend_hover.
- Show all the hover states for all the new UI elements you create (buttons, hyperlinks, dropdowns, etc).
