AC3RACE Running Platform includes Web public and CMS. While CMS enables organizations and entities to host their own online running events, Web Public allows runners can be registered to join a running event quickly and easily. With a user-friendly interface and intuitive design, event organizers can easily set up and customize event pages, while participants can register, track progress, and share achievements. The project focuses on creating a responsive design for optimal user experience across devices. Data security and privacy are prioritized. AC3RACE Running Platform empowers users to create and manage engaging virtual running events efficiently.
Nowadays, many people love running, but there are two problems that organizers and runners face. Firstly, many companies or event organizers want to arrange running tournaments for their staff or anyone who loves running. However, most of them announce these events on their business pages, which can cause some people to miss the information. Additionally, runners often do not know how many tournaments are taking place or how to quickly and conveniently sign up.
AC3RACE Running Platform: CMS and Web Public will help people solve these two problems. First of all, CMS help the organizers register their programs or tournaments easily. In addition, Web Public help runner know when the running events take place and sign in quickly.
When my team received a brief of ACE3RACE, firstly, we sat together and analyzed the brief carefully. In particular, we read and found some weird point that we did not understand, then, every member explained their understanding about these points. In reading progress, sometimes, we did not understand clearly and could not identify any features, we would contact with client and communicate to define those features. After we understood entire brief, we begin conduct competitor analyze.
Based on requirement of client, we chose 4 websites to analysis their color and style. Besides, the client wanted us to referent a website named iRace.vn.
Corner Radius = 0, create a strong feeling (button)
Color: Orange, Red, Cyan Blue, provide a young, enthusiasm, strong feeling => so we chose Cyan Blue , this color meet the client's need, simultaneously, it closely resembles their brand color.

For reference website (iRace.vn): we based on its layout and UX to design
Two persona above help me understand their motivations, goals and specially, their pain point. From their personas, I figure out more about their worries and what they need.

A style guide is used to define the rules, standards, and design guidelines to ensure consistency and uniformity in the interface, content, and user experience of a project. It helps ensure that all members of the design and development team adhere to common design principles, from the use of colors and imagery to typography, spacing, and user interactions. A style guide helps achieve consistency, enhance aesthetics, and improve the effectiveness of a design project.
This is the first time I made the running website or the field of running/sport and my real project so I encountered certain difficulties:
Firstly, when I received the brief, I and three members had to read carefully and analyzed. At that time, I did not understand clearly about all page of this website.
-> Solution: I try to ask client and understand clearly the brief, also, I research more about a running website that the client gave me to referent.
Secondly, a page which is very vital with a running website is leaderboard. However, I really did not know this information so I found it difficulty when I design the leaderboard.
-> Solution: I designed many page with many different styles, beside, I find more in Dribbble to have ideas for this.
Finally, after I gave the file Figma for client, they did not like homepage so my group had to design multiple versions.
Thank to this project, I learn some lessons that are useful for me:
I know a process design from step: receiving brief to step: design
How to design a leaderboard that is so important in running website
Knowledge about running website and how to runner register
How to create a style guide and choose color
