what is kayvaa?
Kayvaa in short is a social high-five, exchanged digitally amongst friends and strangers alike for simply being awesome in one way or another.
Kayvaa is a game that is played by both friends and strangers via the web and mobile networks. The game itself is distributed in that you do not have to come to the site to use it. It should be used in your daily life via mobile and text and on the web. The idea is that in your daily routine or out with friends, you often give each other props, dap, cred, cool points or some variant thereof. Kayvaa is the system that sets rules and keeps the points digitally for this social game that we all play – and allows everyone to play. Kayvaa dap, points, what have you are given to friends that you have made and acquired through the site or it may be given to strangers who have done something that deserves recognition. The underlying principal is to allow people to be recognized for their actions, if the actions benefit the society as a whole.
DESIGN:
version 2 is up, it will get more colour (mandy…) and some more nav in the coming days.

Looks cleaner! As you mentioned it needs more color, but I don’t mean more colors. You currently have about 4-6 shades of gray, 2 different blues and 2 shades of magenta. If this were my design I would kill the dark blue at the bottom, kill a couple shades of gray and use either the logo blue or magenta colors as my call to action colors.
The learn more button is lost in this design. You also have compositional tension with:
- the bottom of the logo and the sign up box
- the top of the logo and the page
- the beta icon and the dark gray
Typically if you are going to overlap something you want to really make it overlap, unless you are doing this on purpose.
Lastly, it’s messing with me that the login and signup buttons are off of the background. But, that may just be me.
Overall improvement from the last design and the direction looks good! Best of luck!
