2021-12-30 17:41:39 Android Design Competition 2021: Results

We are happy that 47 designers from all over the world chose to participate in the
Android Design Competition.

Unfortunately, none of the design concepts met the ideal submission criteria required for 1st Place.

Each of the 2nd Place entries would require a substantial amount of work and considerable polishing to make the submission suitable for use in future Android Developer contests.

Even though no submission could be awarded 1st Place, we decided to increase the prize fund by another $18,000 to properly reward all the efforts that went into this content.

Congratulations to the winners!

'In the current implementation, profiles on Android have several problems. For example, creating a Voice Chat is possible only through the pop-up menu. Also, the button to go to the discussion group of the channel and the button to open a chat with the person are similar, and this can be confusing for users.

Too many interface elements are being used, such as icons at the top (and there can be up to 3 of them nearby), a round icon for switching to a chat / discussion group, and a toggle switch for managing notifications.

In my implementation, many actions can be performed by clicking on the identical buttons, which greatly simplifies the user interface. For most actions in the profile, you will need to make just one click.' Open / Comment

'Feed is a new tab that allows you to watch all the posts from your feeds at once. You can sort the posts in the feed by date, views and comments. The feed supports folders, so you can group your channels by certain characteristics, such as a news channels or a sports channels. The concept also introduces the new #headlines feature, which groups all the posts in the feed for the day and displays them as scrollable cards with a picture and the first lines of the post. All of these features make viewing content from your channels as productive as possible and ensure you don't miss any news.' Open / Comment
