Challenge Summary

Welcome to Sharous iPhone App Storyboard Redesign Contest !
We have an iOS app named “Sharous” that needs to be redesigned as a first step in the process of creating our brand.

Sharous is a company which is in progress of starting a mobile-based, location-centric social networking application. Sharous will initially be offered as a mobile application for iOS devices, where users will be able to share their location from their phone in close to real-time, view a world map showing the location of their Contacts, people around them, and other users, and interact with other users in the map or on their contact list.

At the end of the contest, the client is looking to skin the existing application with new colors and theme that will make the app stand out from the rest and help build its own brand. In short, it should have a unique look and feel of its own and should look great on existing iOS and upcoming iOS7 versions.

If you have any question, please raise in the forum, Let's discuss anything!.

Round 1

Round 2

Round 2 start announcing Checkpoint winners. Contestants need to make changes to their submissions based on client feedbacks. They should submit all screens mentioned in Round 1 plus the following screens.

IMPORTANT 
- Please refer (iPhone_Sharous_existing.zip) for existing screens of the application. 
- We are happy with existing wireframe and data flow. Please do not modify the position of existing UI elements
- Just need to skin it with new colors and new style for BRANDING.
- Please do not alter the existing dataflow  (Very Important)
- Try avoiding complex gradients. We prefer a simple, minimalist approach this time. User should be able to focus more on the map and other contents. Choose colors wisely so that it will simplify UI.
- We would like to see the bottom navigation bar white in color to make the icons stand out more. If you can come up with better color combos, don’t hesitate to show us.
- You have to redesign bottom navigation menu icons as well as map markers to suit the new theme. (Consider the case of users with no profile pic while designing markers.)
- Required designs are for iPhone 5 (640x1136).
- You need create ONLY portrait design
- Screens should be numbered correctly to explain the storyboard flow to us.
- UI elements and icons should be vector so that we can resize it any time later without losing clarity.
