The site of the Russian most popular comic show. The essence of the show is as follows: during the year student teams
compete for the first place. In each game two or more teams compete on stage. Teams participate in different tasks,
in which they should demonstrate their humor, theatrical, singing and dancing abilities. Each task is judged by the
special jury. The team with bigger score wins. In Russia the show enjoys the audience exceeding 10 million people.
It was required to develop extensive information portal that would contain complete information on the show: its history,
news, description of current and former teams, contests results, best jokes, team members - all this should be organized by
convenient navigation and search system.
Over ten different design variants for user interface had been developed before the best solution was found.
The applied idea was to use color coding for each site section. The interface looks distinctively user-friendly
because of bright and warm colors, rounded corners of graphic elements.
A complex information support system was tailor-made for this site, which allows geographically dispersed editors
upload to the system articles, photos and videoclips from games taking place all around the world. The group of Chief
editors reviews the information uploaded and publishes it on the site with all necessary corrections introduced. All
required tools and utilities have been developed for this process. Microsoft Company technologies have been used
during the development.
Such elements of the portal as forum, chat, online games, and rating system of KVN-dedicated sites have been
custom-made for the site. Technical support of the site is also conducted.
