Contest 100 Usd - 1 Screen Ui For Mobile App

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Geekim, Feb 4, 2013.

  1. #1
    We're creating a fun application for the local market and i need the help of a master designer to help me up with the UI.

    The application will sum up all the local details for going out (Pubs, restaurants, parties.. ) mainly for the young audience.
    so the design needs to be young.

    i though about metro like ui, but i think it's a bit too flat for apps... anyway - i'm leaving the creative part up to you.

    attached below is the *main* menu, there are 20 screens in total but for this bid i want the main one only as i need to know how good you are before handing over all the rest.

    the winner of this would get to work with me on this project for the rest of the screens
    (fully paid)

    in your design there's no need to include the cellular itself, it's there just for general view.

    Hello Geekim,

    I'm really interested in this project, so I'd like to ask some questions:

    1_ How long will this contest be?
    2_ After this single page, you'll be needing approx. 20 more designs?
    3_ You want it to support retina and original display? Or just for original display?


    Regards,

    Could the navigation bar at the bottom be in Images?

    I'm going to attempt this, I'm not much of a designer but have been trying my hand at Mobile App designs.

    One thing to clear up, what is your brand name? Any specific fonts? Are those all buttons on the homescreen - 'Coupons', 'News', 'Profile' etc?

    Thanks.

    Here is my attempt.

    Small space in the middle for your brand logo, mascot etc. Colours can be changed. All squares, menu areas etc. have a texture on them, although you probably won't be able to see them through a low quality upload here.

    I'd appreciate feedback.

    Thanks!

    @Valentin
    1.the contest will last for 7 days to enables everyone to submit their designes
    2.this contest is for the main screen only, the winner (if he wants to) will be paid to design the rest of the screens
    3. as the app is aimed at Android and IOS phones i'll need both Retina (HD) and Normal.

    @BlazZe
    1. The navigation at the bottom would be show/hide menu in android and constant menu in iphone, it shouldn't be flat images as it should look like buttons

    @InvestInPixels
    1. the brand name and font is less relevant as the whole thing would be translated to the local language and your font might be missing, if you insist then i assume generic fonts would be best and the brand is (translated to english) "The-Exit"
    2. your design looks really nice, i do have some problem with the empty space in the center.. can you try to stretch the buttons or fill it up somehow ?

    i expect everyone else to submit none-copied designs, please send all designs via PM.
    the winner would be posted and notified here on the original title.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Here are some new versions - notice spacing changes, colour changes and some changes in text effects. I'll work on making the Coupons and News blocks more rectangular too if you want.

    Just out of interest, does the top block need such a long name? Can't it be called 'Where are you going?' or 'Directions' or 'Navigate' or 'Go somewhere' etc.?

    Right, here is another version. It has a blurred background and looks the best in my opinion. Let me know what you think.

    @investIn - your concept is interesting but there's still a great distance from what i had in mind.
    1. the structure of the blocks is important for me, 1 block, 2 blocks, 3 blocks.
    2. the background color shouldn't be solid (it can, but i'm not sure what color works) but it shouldn't have this effect yours has, maybe you can try some light pattern or something.
    3.some of the blocks colors are too dark, we want lighter "happier" colors.
    4. "Direction" is not the right work for it, not at all.. as it doesn't provide directions (it does but it's only a small matter of it) but lets leave it now, the idea is to somehow make this button "pop out" by either deeper 3d effect or some other effect.

    Ok I'll work on it. The buttons pop out more when you see the actual version, as the quality of these uploads on DP are pretty low.
