THE PROBLEM
THE SOLUTION
Significant amount of content, not a lot of content based on just 80s music. these factors impact the user experience and efficiency finding music specifically from the 1980s.
Streamline the process by creating an application that is solely based on music from the 1980s. incorporate functionalities that allow users to effortlessly find their favorite song, artist or genre.
COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
Current music apps are focused on providing a wide variety of songs, artists, and genres of all decades. Not specifically the 1980s.
Popular music player apps like Apple Music are a source for all kinds of music. While they do have an 80s category, it is just one of the many categories they offer. It is not something they focus on. This leads to
Spotify was an app that I used as a reference because of the interface design
80S MUSIC OPTIONS ARE FOCUSED ON HIT SONGS
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC YOU HAVE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
CATEGORIES ALL AT THE TOP TO HELP FILTER OPTIONS
VISUALLY APPEALING COVER ART THAT ALIGNS WITH THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE 80S
SIMILAR TO APPLE MUSIC WHERE IT IS NOT FOCUSED ON 80S MUSIC SO YOU HAVE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
LOW-FIDELITY - MID-FIDELITY WIREFRAMES
By starting with basic designs and gradually making them more detailed, I was able to evaluate their effectiveness and consolidate the design process into one main hub.
BRANDING
-
​When determining the color palette for Rewind, I wanted the colors to reflect a retro feeling. So, I incorporated a neon color palette
-
The typography was chosen to complement the retro visual of the color palette.
-
The logo was designed to showcase the name of the app and give the user an idea of what the app is about.
HIGH-FIDELITY WIREFRAMES
After receiving feedback, I was able to make adjustments and finalize my high-fidelity wireframes.
