DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

1. Member Interview Banner.
Please check here last year broadcast banner for reference, You need to keep the design of the current tabletop in mind so it should look well match and follow the feel of the TCO19 Theme, however, you can still improvise when needed.  
What to include: 
  • TCO19 logo 
  • TC logo (all black or all white)
  • Date and Time 
  • Photo of members interviewed Title: “Design Final 2 Post Match Interview with iamtong and yoki”
  • Red band announcement: “TCO19 Live Broadcast Schedule is out! Catch the best of the best competing live along with pre/post-match interviews!”

2. Member Banner Stats
These stats will sit at the bottom of the screen and will be displayed while finalists compete during the live broadcast. Again check the finished Table Top Design, your stats banner should feel like a union concept with this. Also good to remember this banner will be modified based on the colour of the track scheme, so please sample your design with some tracks if the colour is good contrast and easy to read, also this banner will be added below the Interview Banner you designed so try to make them not too different apart when put together.

What to include: 
  • Photo of the member
  • Handle 
  • Country 
  • Name 
  • Track where he competes 
  • Member Stats: Challenges, Wins, Win Percentage, Submission Rate, Average Placement, LUX Wins, RUX Wins, Average Placement, Dribbble Profile username. Please find these statistics on member profile
