Full Description & Project Guide
In this challenge we are looking for your help to design 3 banners for announcing the stage 1 finalists for design, development and data science track.
Each banner should include the following:
As sample data you can use the top 4 members from each track’s leaderboard from the TCO20 site: design, development, data science (marathon match). At the moment, we still have a few challenges to close from last month, so the final results might change, but you can use the top current members for your designs.
Note: while the 3 banners will look similar in style and approach, think how you would make them different to stand up. Feel free to use icons or color tracks for that or any other great idea you might have.
These banners should follow as style the new topcoder.com and TCO20 look and feel. Think about using blobs and the existing color palette defined in the branding section. As many people will be viewing this and we will promote it on social media as well, we’d like the designs to look exciting so please you your creativity at best.
