Challenge Description:
For this challenge, we will be working with BMC to build a world-class MyEBC event app. The project goal is to improve experience for BMC EBC briefing attendees and ensure that BMC continues to be on the cutting���edge of briefing center experiences. At a high level this APP will be used by event attendees to further enhance their visit with the EBC.��� It will contain detailed information about their visit, information about the surrounding area and other content that is relevant to our target user. We want the overall impression of the MyEBC APP to be a “wow factor” for our target user. The take away is that BMC and the MyEBC APP are world class and cutting edge, so our designs should reflect that.
The event APP will be built responsively and look good on all platforms. For this design challenge we want you to concentrate on the mobile and tablet views of this APP.
We are looking for the [topcoder] design Community to help us with planning our new digital sales aid application!
Design Guidelines:
- All the material needed can be found on Google Drive, please request for access in forums.
Design Concept Goals:
- How should this application look?
- Read the user story and decide what should the priority features be (what is the priority navigation for this user?)
- How quickly the user can find what he wants?
- The application should be easy to use.
- Think simple but effective solutions! Have fun creating this - let us know how you think it should work!
- We want this to be MODERN application design!
Screen Sizes:
- Mobile: 320px x 480px Portrait
- Tablet: 1024px x 768px Landscape
Make sure you create graphic in 'shape' format, so when resize for retina versions, graphic still look sharp! It will be great if you can provide the landscape version.
User Case Scenario:
Scott is an IT Engineer and he’s really excited about his upcoming visit to the BMC Executive Briefing Center. He goes to the APP store and downloads the BMC MyEBC APP in advance of his trip. Right away Scott can tell that this trip is going to rock! The clean and modern design of the MyEBC APP speaks to the core brand values of BMC being a cutting edge and forward thinking company. Scott quickly looks thru his event agenda, bookmarks the items he doesn’t want to miss, reads up on some of his fellow attendees and Discussion Leaders. All of the relevant information about his trip is right at his fingertips w/ the MyEBC APP.
Now that Scott’s got his day’s planned he’s curious about what he can do in the Houston area when he’s not at the EBC. Using the MyEBC APP Scott is able to quickly browse thru all of the great restaurants and entertainment options that Houston has to offer.
Scott is able to set up a profile and manage his event details all from the APP. He even gets PUSH Notifications about important information about his upcoming visit to the EBC.
