The primary goal of this challenge is to design an application that would allow the users to view training books through a smart device or on desktop, this will allow the book to be interactive using videos, highlighting and writing notes.
We are looking for the [topcoder] design Community to help us with planning our new "user experience" (UX).
Supporting Documents:

Design Concept Goals:
- The application should be easy to use.
- Want this to be iOS and Android mobile application; we would like the application look the same whether it is on iOS or Android device, basically it will be a web based application.
- The flow of the application should be easily adaptable for all of the different devices operating systems.
Required Screen Sizes:
- Desktop & Tablet (Landscape) page of size 1024px width and height as required.

- Mobile (Portrait) page of size 320px width and height as required.
- Mobile (Landscape) page of size 480px width and height as required.
Note: 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.
