For this contest, we need your help to create the look and feel and designing appropriate graphics for our powerpoint presentation content so audiences can understand the slides material instantly be seeing the graphics. It is important for us to make the presentation content immediately catch the eye of the audience by combining some visuals content and standards content to make a great presentation deck.
The presentation topic is “Using Open Innovation & Crowdsourcing to Create New Mobile User Experiences”. In this presentation, we want to show the audiences progress to create mobile application using open innovation and crowdsourcing method at TopCoder. There are 6 different stages of creating a mobile application at TopCoder:
1 – Conceptualization
2 – Wireframes
3 – Screen Designs/Storyboards
4 – Architecture – Front End & Back End
5 – Assembly
6 – Bug Hunt
We want to explains each of those steps in this presentation. Below are the slides requirements that needed to be create in this contest :
General Slide Requirements :
- Background, we want all content on the 6 main slides to be put inside an iPad (tablet) frame in landscape mode (check bg-slide.jpg for an example of the frame, do not use this one). These 6 slides must share the same “frame” in this presentation. Please design the “frame” to be enticing and professional. Also, incorporate TopCoder [ ] branding and it’s name into the frame design.
- Each slide should have the title of type of contest (ex, conceptualization, wireframes, etc).
- Each slide should have Average cost – so an editable way to showcase $ amount with a nice “$” graphic
- Each slide should have Average duration – same need as $, with a nice “time” graphic
- The largest part should be a visualization of the output from each contest – a nice graphic that represents a typical output from the type of competition (can be found from content details below).
Content Details :
1. Title Slide (Slide 1), use title “Using Open Innovation & Crowdsourcing to Create New Mobile User Experiences”. In this slide, please create some graphic/art work that show “sleek” mobile interface, the overall slide design must have clean design, very intuitive looking and fantastic as an opening slide.
2. Conceptualization Slide (Slide 2), a Graphic of pencil and paper and the interface idea “sketched out” – would be good to really focus on UI/UX concept being shown in a simple way – maybe facial recognition – so a sketch of a user holding up their mobile, the mobile identifying them, and the mobile making a personalized “suggestion” all in a loose “sketched out” form.

3. Wireframes Slide (Slide 3), nice visualization of what would be a clickable wireframe showcasing a user path. More information about wireframes contest : http://community.topcoder.com/studio/help/competition-types/contest-types/
4. Screen Designs/Storyboards Slide (Slide 4), nice visualization of great design elements showcasing how the app would look and feel – focus here is on really sharp graphics/icons and arrows to show how the UI/UX would function.

5. Architecture – Front End & Back End Slide (Slide 5), visualization of the “back-end” architecture showing the user paths, where the data “ties” to, how the data is distributed back to the user, etc …More information about Architecture contest : http://apps.topcoder.com/wiki/display/tc/Architecture+Overview
6. Assembly Slide (Slide 6), visualization of taking the “pieces” – wireframes, design elements, architecture – and applying “code” to make it come together – perhaps we should show a terms like – iOS, Android.

7. Bug Hunt Slide (Slide 7), visualization of “bugs” or things potentially broken or “error messages” and showcasing them being “fixed” (think red light vs. green light!). More information about Bug Hunt Contest : http://apps.topcoder.com/wiki/display/tc/TopCoder+Bug+Hunt+Competitions
