Challenge Summary

Welcome to the "Fun Series - Design Concepts Challenge (Design Language)". This challenge is part of a series of fun challenges across the different Topcoder design and development tracks. The goal is to have fun! Create conversation around what is good experience design and educate on best practices for working within the challenge format. We want to help new designers understand how to use the Topcoder platform and help existing designers improve their skills, knowledge and understanding on what it takes to "win". 

This fun design challenge is focused on creating and planning the user experience for a mobile application. For this challenge we want you to learn and use the IBM Design Language!


Fun Challenge Details

This challenge is focused on designing the potential user experience for the "End User".

Requirements

This challenge is focused on creating "design concepts" (see forum for discussing of what design concepts are) and how this mobile survey app could potentially look and work. In this challenge, we are focused on designing screens for the Tone Analyzer app.

Tone Analyzer app is a desktop version which uses linguistic analysis to detect emotional tones, social propensities, and writing styles in written communication. Then it offers suggestions to help the writer improve their intended language tones.

Current we application is not mobile friendly. You need to create mobile screen to show this Tone Analyzer service. The user experience for the end user should be easy and catchy. Design screens related to concepts on what you think the end user should see, what the user should experience when interfacing with this application. 

Fun!
