DESIGN GOALS & PRINCIPLES

 
  • The outcome should be something funny
  • The color theme and style should work together with the Topcoder brand, meaning that you don’t have to strictly adhere to it.
 

SCREENS/FEATURES

 
In this challenge we are looking for a single image. Please consider the below input in your design process.
 
1. List of admins
Your design should showcase the following people:
 
  • adroc - Adam Morehead
  • DaraK - Daniela
  • KassanErinn - Erinn Kirchner
  • crazyk - Glenn Kozawa
  • hmehta - Harshit Mehta
  • jmpld40 - Jessie Ford
  • jcori - James Cori
  • mess - Dave Messinger
  • nick.castillo - Nick Castillo
  • TonyJ - Tony Jefts
 
2. Where will the image be used?
This image will be used for different purposes on the Topcoder platform, and different online and offline settings. Some examples for the usage are:
 
  • The image could be inserted in a recorded video or live broadcast.
  • The image could be used in a blog or Thrive post.
  • The image could be projected during an event during an admin town hall.
  • The image could be used in a pdf or printed material.
  • The image could be used during the upcoming online TCO20 event.
 
3. What kind of outcome you can consider?
We are open to anything. You can think of it as a poster with photos, for which we prepared a folder for you to choose from, but you can also select images for the TC Events Flickr album. If you like, you can create illustrations yourself as well. You can get some inspiration from the examples we attached (definitely worth to check :-)).
