Challenge Summary
Welcome to Skyzone - In-Park Display Monitor Dashboard Design Challenge. This challenge deals with the designing of a single screen for the large display monitor in the trampoline parks.
Really Excited to see your designs for this challenge!
Good luck!
Sky Zone has large TV monitors (60-80”) in their trampoline parks on which they want to display available jump times for guests. The general purpose of the dashboard is to allow guests at the park to view what times are available for ticket purchase.
The dashboard needs to serve 2 main purposes:
1) Guests need to easily see next available jump times in a readable format on the monitor
2) Guests need to easily see the park capacity for the next several hours on the monitor
Several months ago, an outside vendor put together the attached mockup. The purpose of this design challenge is to reconcept that dashboard, with a greater emphasis on Sky Zone brand (colors, style -- see resources for examples) and a more user-friendly dashboard. We believe the TopCoder community can do MUCH better!
Design Requirements:
- Use the provided Sky Zone’s branding colors.
- Screen size: Screen sizes will vary, but in general will be large TV monitors ranging in size from 50” to 80” (diagonal), HDMI and networked, 1080p, 16:9 ratio, digital displays. Display ratio will be 1920x1080.
Typography
Sky Zone has a license to the use Proxima Nova font family for their native application.
- Proxima Nova Regular
- Proxima Nova Light
- Proxima Nova Semibold
Required Screens:
We need below screen to be designed for this challenge..
1) Dashboard:
This is a single screen challenge to design the park dashboard. The elements that must be present on the dashboard are:
- Time Slots: Dashboard should display 2 hours of slots in 15-minute increments. For example, 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, 9:45, 10:00, 10:15, 10:30,
10:45
- Jump Duration: Dashboard should display 4 possible jump durations a guest could purchase: 30 minutes (abbreviated to min is okay), 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min
- Available tickets: Dashboard should display the number of available tickets for each time slot / jump duration combination.
- - - - If no tickets are available, dashboard should clearly display to users that the slot is unavailable.
- - - - If tickets are limited, dashboard should indicate low availability (highlight with a different color, call out that only a few spaces are left, etc.)
- Need to indicate the Current Time.
- Time of the next round / next jump session.
Keep in mind:
- The dashboard needs to be easily readable from a distance, on a TV that is suspended 8-10 feet off the ground. Information should be easily readable and clearly presented.
- Contrast is important!
- In the included example, it takes too much thinking to understand exactly what is going on and get the information you need as a guess. A re-concepted design with low cognitive load is desired.
- Think about usability -- is there anyway we can display the information on the screen and tie it to the real world to make it easier to understand for a guest?
Reference:
- Reference skyzone.com for information about the company and brand examples.
- Reference “Dashboard Example #1.png” as an example that has most of the elements, but does not use Sky Zone’s branding and lacks some key usability features
- Reference “Dashboard Example #2.png” as an example that is more on brand and has a higher usability rating, but that lacks the division of availability across different jump durations.
Target Audience:
- Customers of Skyzone
Judging Criteria:
- How well you plan the user experience and capture your ideas visually.
- Your design should possible to build.
- Cleanliness of your graphics and design
