EXPERIMENTAL Challenge Format! - USA Diving Team iOS Challenge Series - C2 - [Swiftoberfest]

Welcome to the EXPERIMENTAL Challenge Format! - USA Diving Team iOS Challenge Series - C2 - [Swiftoberfest]. 

We are going to try something new with this challenge! This is an experimental "open" design challenge format so, please pay special attention to the challenge details and ask questions in the forum!

This is the second in a series of challenges to design and build an iPad application that will allow the USA Diving team to track the performance of divers as they prepare for official diving events and Olympic trials. Closely monitoring the day-to-day well-being and performance of divers in training will allow coaches and physicians to adjust individual training programs, for improved results. 

Good luck on this challenge!

Round 1

Round One (R1): Checkpoint
Submit your initial design concepts storyboards for the Checkpoint:

2b. MENU (over placeholder)
3. MANAGE PROFILE
4c. TRAINING SESSION - HEALTH SURVEY - PRE
- Notes.jpg: Please include any comments about your design for the Client
- Make sure all pages have a logical flow / Use correct file numbering (00, 01, 02, 03)

Round 2

Round Two (R2): Final
Your final storyboard designs, based on the provided R1 winning design concept(s) / PSD(s), with all Checkpoint Feedback implemented.

4d. TRAINING SESSION - HEALTH SURVEY - POST
- Notes.jpg: Please include any comments about your design for the Client
- Make sure all pages have a logical flow / Use correct file numbering (00, 01, 02, 03)

Round Three (R3): First2Finish Format
The final storyboard designs, based on the provided R2 winning design concept(s) / PSD(s), with all final revisions implemented.
 

NEW "Open" Challenge Format:
The idea for this experimental design challenge is to get the final design deliverable closer to the final product, for the customer. This format allows the concept and design direction to be selected in Round 1 (R1) and revisions to occur in both Round 2 (R2) and Round 3 (R3). This format also you to win throughout the challenge. The overall winner and placements will be based on your cumulative prize winnings.

DESIGN NOTE: There are only four (4) notable new screens to design from scratch. There other four (4) screens are very simple:  two screens are just revisions of the provided login screen, one screen which is just a placeholder screen, and one screen just shows the menu overlay. 

How this works
There will be Three (3) Design Rounds in this challenge. If you are familiar with our current design challenge process, think of the rounds as being similar to Checkpoint, Final, and Final Fixes.

Challenge Prize Structure
R1 Prizes:  $800 (1st), $400 (2nd), $100 (3rd), $100 (4th), $100 (5th)
R2 Prizes:  $600 (1st), $300 (2nd), $75 (3rd), $75 (4th), $75 (5th)
R3 Prizes:  $200 (1st)

We will have five (5) prize placements for both Round 1 and Round 2, plus a First2Finish Round 3 task with one (1) placement for a total of eleven (11) opportunities for prizes and $2825 available in prizes.

All prizes and placements will be updated and corrected at the end of the challenge. The challenge prize structure listed in the details of the challenge is correct and what is reflected at the top of the Challenge page is only 1 potential scenario.

Round 1 (R1) = Checkpoint
Round 1 is all about you working independently on the design/layout and flow concepts. You must submit both your screens and PSD source files in Round 1.

Round 2 (R2) = Final
Round 2 is where it get interesting! Once we review the designs with the client, we will provide the winning source file(s) and design feedback to continue the challenge. Any designer who has submitted in Round 1 will be eligible to continue and compete in Round 2.  Everyone will work from the same source files and complete the requested updates, merges, and final screens. You must submit both your screens and PSD source files in Round 2

Round 3 (R3) = First2Finish 
Almost all design challenges have Final Fixes. Round 3 is designed to handle final revisions of the winning design. Once again we will provide source files from the previous round. Any designer who has submitted in the Round 2 will be eligible to continue and compete in Round 3. Round 3 will work like a First2Finish Challenge where the first designer who completes the fixes will win the Round.

IMPORTANT PARTICIPATION NOTES:
- You do NOT need to win a prize placement in R1, to compete in R2, but you must compete and have a submission that passes screening in R1
- You do NOT need to win a prize placement in R2, to compete in R3, but you need to compete and have a submission that passes screening in R2

You will be asked to respond to a post-challenge survey about this new format! We are looking for your thoughts!
 
Design Considerations
Do NOT use Artboards - Use a single PSD storyboard for each unique “page” plus it’s related alternate views/popups etc. 
- Adobe Illustrator (AI) source files are not allowed.
- Logically group all PSD source file layers AND label both your individual layers and groups logically. 
- Remember that others will be working with your files in R2/R3, and you may be working with other member’s files in R2/R3, so be professional and considerate!

Menu nav items are:
- dashboard (show this one as “active”)

3. MANAGE PROFILE
This screen is a form, so we want it to slide up from the bottom and cover most of the page below it. Show a 50% opacity color overlay over the dashboard content > then this content area on top of it. The user canNOT access the menu button while this screen is open / Do NOT include an “x” to close this layer, as the user MUST choose cancel or save to close the screen!

TRAINING SESSION SCREENS (4)
The Diver pin login screen has already been designed and only needs to be edited, per the revisions detailed below.

NOTE that all of the training screens should have the basic look and feel from this pin screen- - i.e. covers 100% of the screen (no menu icon visible) and dive photo as background. IF it is better for user experience, you can add more blur to the photo and/or a white overlay (in the style of iOS 8) over the imagery, in order to make the content easier to read,

Do NOT include an “x” to close these screens.

After the Diver pin screen, the user will see his “Diver card” element (see style guide for this - except on these screens the card will have no buttons so just show photo, name, diver pin #) on each subsequent screen, so that the diver knows he entered the correct pin. 

After the Diver pin screen, the subsequent training screens should be somewhat uniform, i.e.:
- each one will be a training section screen, so you can show a single element across the top of each of these screens, where the related page tiles will live.
-  each one will be a form, so you can show a single element across the bottom of each of these screens, where the related form action buttons live.

4a. TRAINING SESSION - DIVER PIN
This is where each Diver will enter his pin so that he can access training session screens. 

Edit the existing pin screen, per these requirements:
- remove this big / centered version of the logo  and replace with the smaller logo from all screens (in the same location as all other screens)
- increase width of text input element to be the same width as the keyboard and the same height as the keyboard circle buttons
- add an “End Training Session” button element in the upper right corner of the screen
