Full Description & Project Guide
Design Problem
Design the TCO Hall of Fame page that will go on the Topcoder site and will match the new Topcoder Site branding (have the same look and feel as this page has).
The following are the required features for this new page. We don’t need to show all of these at once, but using interactions, we should be able to see everything.
- the list and/or photos (preferably) of all the champions from each TCO
- the list of all the finalists from each TCO
- fun facts/stats (most consecutive wins, most time as a finalist, etc)
Add interactivity for this page, an example would be: User selects a tournament (TCO17, TCO16, TCO15, etc...) from the top, like a dropdown with logos. This will change the hero image to the group image of the chosen TCO tournament. Then there will be tabs below to choose a specific track and see the finalists and winner of that particular track together with some members’ fun facts/stats. You can use the TCO17 Finals as an example - we have provided an Excel file with all of the champions and handles of the finalists.
Note: be creative and show us other great interactions for this page. Also pay attention on how this will be displayed on mobile.
We need to see all champions from all TCOs when we land on this page. Some members were champions in multiple TCOs (check the xls file attached to see them). Think how do we show that, without cluttering the interface.
Branding
- We have provided a Sketch file with the GUI KIT and the templates for desktop and mobile devices.
- The GUI KIT includes everything you need to get started including typography, colors, form elements, icons, etc.
- Fonts: use only Roboto font as that is the standard font we are using for the new Topcoder site. It is mandatory you follow only the defined sizes for labels, headings and body texts as well as defined colors (shades of gray)
- Icons: you can use stock icons only from Nucleo: https://nucleoapp.com/ to keep consistency with the rest of our pages.
- Unit size: we are using 5px as a standard size, so try to keep all distances and line heights as a multiple of that.
- If there is something else you need or have questions, ask the in the forum.
