Interface Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Interface Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your interface design is judged together with its usability, interactivity, clarity and user experience. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the interface, showing the interface from various angles and levels, together with a textual presentation of their work. It is important to note that the main image should especially be well-crafted and, whenever possible, placed on a white background. If applicable, we further recommend showcasing the interface screenshots within latest devices. In addition to images, usability studies, guides and case studies could further be uploaded as support documents.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual should be a high-resolution image that captures the interface's usability and aesthetic in a single frame. An effective approach would be to display the interface on a device screen, ensuring the interface's elements are clear and the overall design intent is evident. The visual should invite the viewer into the user experience, highlighting the interface's innovation and user-friendliness. | |
