Challenge Summary

Welcome to another LUX Challenge! The LUX is a "Live User Experience Design Challenge" that we like to run as a fast design challenge to get quick exploration and new concepts on a user experience problem.

The "LUX - 48HR ABC Events Mobile App Design Concepts Challenge" will be run during the next 2 days. At the end of the challenge, we will take your presentation screens and share your collective creative talent with our audience! 

The LUX Challenge Series provides you with an opportunity to show digital leaders from some of the largest brands in the world just how good your user interface and user experience (UI/UX) design skills are. LUX challenges are fast, fun, and have more chances for you to capture prize money.

Note: No previous experience in a LUX challenge is needed to compete - jump in and give it a try! Make sure to follow the challenge forum and ask questions as things move very fast throughout a LUX challenge.
The goal of this challenge is to take the provided design problem, analyze the user experience and provide design concepts and visual ideas on how the application might look and work.

Design Problem
Company ABC has large leadership meetings with where they host 100's of internal leaders (employee's) every couple of weeks. These meetings have many breakout sessions and discussions (and some sessions are more valuable than others). Each team member currently provides feedback via paper to help improve meetings and to help insure no one's time is wasted. 

Company ABC is looking to digitize this process so it can be applied to a wider range of meetings and so results and feedback can be gathered and analyzed systematically instead of manually. The idea here is to create a more modern approach (to a simple feedback process) and what can be explored with modern technology, design and concepts like cognitive and AI. 
 
Challenge Goals
The goal of this challenge is to explore and create visual design concepts for the ABC Meeting mobile app that will allow a user to choose events and interacted with it. (Note: ABC is a codename for the company). You are allowed to use another name or create a new name for the purpose of this application.

Important: We are looking for NEW and MODERN concepts of mobile graphical user interface solutions and concepts that align with the app. Think and Explore the options/possibilities for modern experiences in the app.
    
Design Consideration
- Think about designing a smart mobile app that is leveraging the latest modern features (for ex. cognitive experiences, etc.)
- Simple yet engaging! This app allows a user to provide quick positive and negative reactions (plus feedback) quickly.
 
Some example features to think about
- How is cognitive used? Does it provide relevant results, history of selections, user sentiment? Are some features leveraged for an Admin view?
- Gamification features (more user engagement?)
- On demand polling features
- Dashboard experience and key interactions
- Track user activity records 
- Track user behavior and predict better options for interactions within the meeting
     
LUX Challenge Requirements
Mobile Storyboards
- Design screens for iPhone (Portrait view, 750x1334px)
- This is a native iOS application
- We only need 7 screens plus a presentation screen - so pick/design what you think will "showcase" this application. 
- In these LUX challenges the "Concepts", you propose really help the presentation 
 
Branding Guidelines
- Follow our branding guidelines for colors 
- Font and Style: Open to designers
 
Things to think about (as a user)
- When I first open the application what should I see?
- What is the priority actions or items I need to interact with
- I quickly want to find meetings or events (past, upcoming, current)
- What are the navigation items (primary and secondary)?
- Notification tools?
- Analytic tools (some for the user and some for admin)
- What makes this tool useful, fun and engaging to provide feedback throughout the meeting?
 
Suggested Screens
0) Application Logo
- Create a simple logo for your application
- Something simple and clean that does not distract from your application designs
- Name is up to you - keep it simple
 
1) Presentation Screen - 1920x1080 (16:9 Ratio)
- In a LUX challenge, this screen is very important so make it look good!

-  DO NOT put extra text on this screen - use it to showcase your application!
 
2) Dashboard Screen

- Show user personalization in the dashboard

4) Event/Meeting Details and Feedback
- Event feedback (Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down)

- During the meeting, the user (at any time) can provide a thumbs up/thumbs down to that specific section of the meeting, topic or just they feel positive/negative during the meeting
- The ability to possibly have polls/surveys on-demand throughout the meeting?
- Past meeting will show logged activity of the meeting (videos, activity records, history of thumbs up/thumbs down etc.)

- Comparison with other similar meetings?
