Overall requirements
In general, we are needing designs that are professional, slick and up-to-date.
We don't want mp3-player wacky or humorous etc.
Icon sets
We make big use of icons in our applications. It's often quite difficult to
come up with ideas for icons for specific tasks. Also, all the icons should
"fit together" within the overall look and feel of the application. Given those
constraints, come up with three overall themes for an icon set. Then, for each
theme, give details of your design for each of the following, within
the overall theme:
-
View participants (of a discussion)
-
New message
-
Move to next unread message
So you will have 9 icon ideas altogether. The idea might consist of a textual
description, with a rough sketch. For one icon please create suitable 16x16 and
32x32 images, formatted as PNG files.
HTML/CSS
We need a web page to enter user details. Please come up with three different
layouts including colour scheme, text sizing and positioning, and overall
layout. If possible, keep the HTML static and vary the design using CSS alone.
Heading: User Details
Fields: Name, Skype ID, Telephone number, Favourite TV show.
Button: OK, Cancel
