Full Description & Project Guide
Design Problem
We would like to design an infographic to show ALL the finalists from ALL tracks qualified and potential to qualify for TCO19. Right now we have only half of the winners available as the first 2 stages are closed and stage 3 is in progress, but you can use placeholders for the rest. You can see all the finalists here and the total available places.
When designing this page, we would like to see designs who use brackets (mandatory) to show the period and the related finalists. Think of it as at a hierarchy level: we have finalists > stages > TCO19 finals.
Requirements:
- The design should look good when displayed in email (600px width) but as well on web (1200px width)
- Use the Topcoder branding colors. You are not limited to those only, but you should stay within close colors (for example you can use other shades of blue, but don’t use red or brown as a dominant color).
- Show Topcoder logo and TCO19 logo in your designs
- We’d like to see an exciting design, which looks amazing visual but it’s also easy to read
- Use typography in a meaningful way
- Make sure your icons are sharp
