Challenge Summary
Welcome to the RRT - Responsive Application Design Concepts Challenge! In this design challenge, we are looking for you to provide new ideas and design concepts to improve our internal “Regulatory Reference Tool” application. We will be providing you with reference “wireframes” so you understand the content and domain but we are looking for a NEW, modern and improved “reference tool” experience.
RRT is an internal (responsive) regulatory reference tool used to help our teams quickly ramp into finding and knowing the latest banking regulatory details and documents.
We are looking forward to your new design concepts!

Focus on
- Employee user experience
- The ability to find what you are looking for quickly
- Landing page to show quick links into deeper areas
- Original landing page concept: upcoming events, scrolling timeline, search functions

- Ability to see: Upcoming Events, Global Regulators, Search and easy access to Regulations and Standards
- Overall Navigation of the app (Desktop and Mobile)
- Quick guides: Improve presentation
Design Considerations
- This will be a responsive web application!
- Desktop view: Design for desktop display 1366px and height as required.
- We have provided pdf with wireframe app screenshots - NOTE this is only for content reference, make sure you are not copying the layout or user-experience from this as this challenge is all about creating a new responsive user experience and flow.
- Make sure you create your graphics in 'shape' format, so when we resize graphics will still look sharp!
- Make sure your design consider responsiveness and will look good on both tablet and mobiles.
- Feel free to suggest any tools/functions that can bring good User Experience for this application
