Graphic Design Brief

Simply the app presents 100 random maths questions one-by-one that the child attempts to answer within a set time.

The title of the app is "Maths Basic Facts"

See attached mock-up for further details.

Design elements required:

1. Color scheme: Reasonably colorful.

2. Logo: A stylized clock (with a single sweeping (blurred) hand or “alarm clock” style) with the plus, minus, divide and multiplication symbols and numbers spinning around it. The clock is the largest element with the operator symbols smaller and the number small again (numbers can be a mix of sizes). Logo should have square dimensions and needs to scale as large as 512px square and as small as 29px square. No words should be on the icon.

3. Background: All screens will have a common background containing all or parts of the logo in various sizes and positions. If time permits each screen can have a subtle variation of design (e.g.: slight color change etc).

4. Button with simple down-state. In the mock-up navigation buttons have greater-than/less-than symbols to imply direction/flow. This could instead be included in the button design (e.g.: button outline points more to the left or right). “For Parents” IS a button and will be rendered as text only.

5. Splash screen: Can just contain the title, logo and background.

6. Font: The app uses static and dynamic text so the font(s) used will need to be embedded in the app. I was considering using Comic Sans for the text (including the number keypad).

7. Graphics: The app uses two icons - a “star” and “clock” images/icons to indicate the top score and time-limit respectively for participants. The clock icon probably needs to be the same as the clock image in the logo (although this is not essential).

Important: Design needs to be children friendly but plain as visuals are not the focus.

Screen size will be 320 x 480, portrait only.

Files need to be submitted in 32-bit PNG format.

This is my first time using DesignCrowd and my first time formally specifying a design so please ask questions if anything is unclear.
