Challenge Description:
The goal of this challenge to create clean, intuitive interfaces that a wide range of users can interact with successfully on both a desktop computer or mobile device. Please give close consideration to accessibility standards referenced in the style guide, as they pertain to visual limitations of some users.

We are looking for the [topcoder] design Community to help us with planning our new "user experience" (UX).

Notes:
- Desktop: Design for display 1280px and height as required.
- Mobile: Design for display 750px x 1334px.
- Make sure you create graphic in 'shape' format, so when we resize graphics will still look sharp!
- Feel free to suggest any tools/functions that can bring good User Experience for this tool.
 
Branding Guidelines:
- See attached Style Guide and fonts

Design Goals:
- Consider accessibility and how this applies to both the desktop and the mobile experience.
- Apply branding guidelines to functional elements as outlined in wireframe.
- Appropriate use of primary and appropriate secondary colors to highlight areas of importance, calls to action, links, etc.
- Consistent use of primary, secondary, and tertiary buttons
 
Required Content:
- The screens you design will act as templates for additional screens with similar content, so please consider this when naming and arranging layers in the source files.
Screen 1: 00-Printed-Materials-Dashboard http://gr3oec.axshare.com/#p=dashboard
- The user can either place an order from this screen, as a primary function, or view an existing order.
- Orders are either Draft, Completed, Shipped, Invoice Sent, or Pending Approval. Draft and Pending Approval orders can be cancelled, the others cannot. Clicking on one will let you view more detail. Or user can print an order from dashboard view.
- The list of orders should be sortable by date, with the headers ‘Placed By’ and ‘Status’ each containing additional actions for the user to sort. Order lookup is another way to sort.
- The various statuses should be highlighted using both color and text with appropriate contrast for greater accessibility, not relying on just an icon or color alone.
- The customer indicated that it might be useful to create a separate section for all completed orders. If you have some ideas about pulling these into a separate area/box/container on the dashboard, this is encouraged and would be greatly appreciated.

Screen 2: 01-Printed-Materials-Step1 http://gr3oec.axshare.com/#p=step_1__opportunity_program
- This view will show anywhere from 1-6 programs, depending on what each customer’s permissions are.
- Clicking on one begins the order and will include products that pertain to that one program.

Screen 3: 02-Printed-Materials-Step2 http://gr3oec.axshare.com/#p=step_2__select_items_quantities
- Selecting a subject or searching a keyword will populate the appropriate results below.
- User should be able to select one or many items to add to cart, and the total at the bottom will update.
- Please show some way to highlight that the quantity in the cart for one item has qualified them for a free item. The savings gained from the free item is also shown near the total.
- Once order is started, user can save draft at any time to return to Dashboard.

Screen 4: 03-Printed-Materials-Step3  http://gr3oec.axshare.com/#p=step_3__billing_shipping
- User can confirm Billing Name and Address, Shipping address, and edit their order.
- Clicking on Edit under Bill To Name and Address will show an overlay.
- If you have some other ideas about a better way to manage editing/adding/selecting Name, Billing Address, Shipping Address - this is encouraged and would be greatly appreciated.
- Credit card payment option is static text for now.
- Purchase Order payment option is manually entering a # or uploading a file.

Screen 5: 04-Printed-Materials-Step4 http://gr3oec.axshare.com/#p=step_4__confirm_and_place_order + Terms and Conditions overlay

http://gr3oec.axshare.com/#p=step_1__confirm_items_quanitites
- The Software checkout flow is different from Printed flow, since the user doesn’t get to select different software options. The options in the cart are predetermined for the user. Their cart defaults to all items they are qualified to order, with a quantity of ‘0’, and they then update the quantities as they wish. This view shows some quantities already updated.
- The ‘M’ denotes Member pricing resulting in a discount.
- Update the ‘0’ quantity to another number on US History line to see the "update cart" functionality. on US History line.

Screen 8: 09-Create a Case
