At TechTerra, students have the opportunity to showcase their skills, projects, and achievements, creating a comprehensive portfolio that resonates with potential employers and collaborators. Through detailed student profiles, alumni and recruiters can easily connect with individuals whose skills align with their organizational needs, fostering a bridge between academia and industry. Going beyond traditional academic boundaries, TechTerra hosts innovation challenges and hackathons organized by IIITA, providing students with opportunities to apply their skills in real-world scenarios. These events also serve as a platform for companies to discover emerging talent and groundbreaking solutions.

😊If you guys can think of more related features for the website you are free to add them in your Userflow

💡The task needs to be done on FigJam. FigJam is free to use and doesn't need to download. It is very easy to learn and hardly takes 15 minutes to learn. If you are unclear on how to use it, check the tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVNuArHH5WM

Procedure:

1. Think about how the flow of the website will be for an average user who has just clicked on the website’s link and is opening it for the first time. The user is assumed to be unclear about the functionalities of the website.
2. You have to decide how the user will move through the website, what steps will he need to take, and in which order, for eg. the user first might need to sign up to the website, might want to search for the current hackathons, maybe wants to add a project in his profile, etc.
3. Essentially, you have to design a ‘single flow’ for a user who wants to make a comprehensive portfolio for himself or have to participate in any current happenings in the college etc.
4. Finally, create your ideal user flow in a FigJam file and provide its link (in a .txt file). Submit your txt files in the UX TASK folder only.

If you are unclear about user flow diagrams check this short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvYhuowazh0

PRO-TIP: The secret to creating a powerful user flow is to first research and gain an understanding of how a given problem statement is addressed. As a result, the first and most important thing you must do before beginning to build your user flow is to search other websites that deal with a similar problem statement of buying and selling goods. And take note of the key features they use (basically their user flow).

MDC (Minimum Design Criteria):

The user flow can be very simple, but it must at least fulfill the basic functionality of the website, which is that users should be able to buy and sell items. The flow should start with the user entering the site for the first time and continue until his job is done.

PRO-TIP: Try to make an elaborate user-flow…that makes your task of building the further website way too easy. meticulously decide upon each feature you add.

For any doubts related to the task or the submission process, you can always ping us on discord. Use the tag @techterra to notify the mentors. We will be happy to help.

While you are working on the best user flow for the TechTerra website, here is another short task to test your thinking 🤔 as User Experience Designer!.

The task is brief and doesn't take much time, but what it actually requires is a strong eye for seeing things from the perspective of the user.

Everything in this world happens for a reason, and the below shown websites also appears a certain way for a variety of reasons to provide users with a better experience and ease of use.

The only thing you need to do is write down your ideas on why these pages are designed the way it is and why everything is situated in the locations that it is 😂.

If you are confident enough you can even suggest changes in the layout or any other aspect of the pages which might lead to better user experience than it currently offers.

Happy UXing contributors!

Submission Guideline:

• Write your views on google doc.
• Provide the link of google docs in a .txt file. Make sure that the link is accessible (and not private).
• Submit your txt files in the 'Task 1' folder only.

Minimum Design Criteria (MDC)

Atleast suggest two features of the pages and how they contribute to good user experience and how the experience would have been worse if these features would have been implemented differently. You can also suggest two changes if that is what you prefer.

Features need not be very significant functions of the homescreen, they can be as simple as why the first thing on the screen is ‘Good evening’ or ‘Good morning’ .🤣

Your next Task is to design the BLOGS Section of the Website TechTerra. This is a 🌟20 points task.

This is a new page for the website TechTerra which will display all the blogs written by the students of IIIT Allahabad. For example- There are various blogs that are posted on the website ‘Medium’ by Geekhaven, these blogs are written by IIITA students only (You can also check these blogs on the Geekhaven insta page). This page is dedicated to all these blogs and more.

💡The task needs to be done on Figma. Figma is free to use and doesn't need to download. It is very easy to learn and hardly takes 20 minutes to learn. If you are unclear on how to use it, check the tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk1T0CdLxwU&t=784s

Procedure:

1. Your task is to design the blogs section for TechTerra.
2. Make sure that the theme/color scheme of the website that you have made and the color scheme are maintained.
3. Finally, create your ideal section on a Figma file and provide its link (in a .txt file). Submit your txt files in the Blogs section design folder only.

✨PRO-TIP: Designing any piece of UI requires the following basic steps: firstly research similar websites’ offer/sale sections (note down the key elements the placement and the arrangement) and get familiar with those sections, secondly the wire-frame (deciding where to place which element and what all has to be placed on the page) of the home page must be done, thirdly the visual design must be given (deciding the color scheme, the font styles, weight and size, the graphics on the page) and implementing the visual design, and finally some basic touch-ups!!

MDC (Minimum Design Criteria):

The Blogs section should look decent and creative. You can always take inspiration from net and then implement it in your own way. You can go through the Blogs sections of various websites and then design one. And follow the color scheme and theme of the website.

✨PRO-TIP: You must search Figma Mirror on google and then select our frame on Figma and you will be able to see how your website would look on the screen. Take references of sizes and spacing from there. Make sure you maintain consistency in your design.

Going beyond traditional academic boundaries, TechTerra hosts innovation challenges and hackathons organized by IIITA, providing students with opportunities to apply their skills in real-world scenarios. These events also serve as a platform for companies to discover emerging talent and groundbreaking solutions.

Procedure:

1. Your task is to decide on the Hero Section of the website. It is essentially nothing but the landing page of a website. Whenever a user (maybe visited for the first time, maybe keeps on visiting), clicks on the link of the website the first screen that appears is the Home Page.
2. You have to design the Hero Section of the home page.
3. Remember, the user has not yet signed in or might not have registered this is just the screen that comes up once the user clicks on the link of the website!
4. Keep in mind the key functionality of the website as the key functionalities must be fulfilled by the Hero Section itself the user should not feel the need to scroll down for major actions.
5. Finally, create your ideal Home page on a Figma file and provide its link (in a .txt file). Submit your txt files in the Hero Section Design folder only.
