The objective is to design a music app with an intuitive and clear interface, incorporating cutting-edge features that provide a futuristic listening experience for end users. The app should include all the standard features of a music app, while also offering additional features that anticipate the needs and preferences of the user
Problem
Designing a music app with multiple complex features presents several challenges. User privacy and security are paramount, requiring robust authentication and data protection mechanisms. Integrating a reliable service poses potential accuracy and licensing issues. Voice search functionality demands advanced speech recognition technology. Implementing synchronous song playback for multiple users necessitates efficient real-time synchronization. Seamless account switching must manage user preferences, playlists, and personalized content without disruption. Addressing these challenges requires meticulous planning, rigorous testing, and a user-centric approach to ensure a seamless and secure music experience.

Design Process
I opted for a simplified design process ofĀ Empathize,Ā Define,Ā Develop, and Prototype & TestĀ due to time constraints. This approach enabled a swift understanding of user needs, precise problem definition, creative brainstorming, and practical design, all within a limited timeframe.
Quantitative Research
Quantitative research is conducted to obtain numerical data and statistical insights that can provide a structured and objective understanding of a certain question about Users.
Qualitative Research
Qualitative research aims to delve into the depths of intricate phenomeĀna, behaviors, attitudes, and experiences. Unlike quantitativeĀ research, which emphasizes numerical data and statistical analysis, qualitative research delves into the undeĀrlying meanings, motivations, and contexts behind human actions and inteĀractions.
Competitor Analysis
Competitor analysis serves multiple purposes and holds a pivotal roleĀ in the strategic planning and decision-making processes of businesses and organizations. This compreĀhensive evaluation plays an instrumeĀntal part in shaping strategies and making informed choices.

Goals & Solution
We have created some Solutions from which we are able to solve the user Problem. Keep in mind that they were able to navigate through the app smoothly and reliably.
šØ Style Guide
I wanted to present a Futuristic Feel, including shades of Purple and Dark Pink, to reflect the Futuristic and Modern Feeling
I selected melanzane as my primary color because it has qualities like elegance, luxury, creativity, and sophistication.
For my heading font, I was looking for neutrality and versatility make it ideal for creating timeless and elegant designs. It serves as a calm, unobtrusive backdrop, accommodating various color palettes and design goals.
For my body font, I was looking for itās readily available on many web font platforms like Google Fonts. This ensures consistent and attractive typography across different devices and browsers.
Task Flow
I chose task flow to show all the features and how the user will navigate through the home screen to reach the designated features.
Hi-Fi Screen
User Testing
User Testing has been Carried Out byĀ Three usersĀ who have beenĀ using different types of music apps for more than a yearThey were instructed to do certain tasks in this music app prototypeThe Findings are based on their feedbackĀ after testing the new feature
The Users Testing Results are as follows :
The user appearsĀ pleasantly surprised by the new home screen, as itās something they havenāt experienced before and it becomes aĀ little difficult to understandĀ where is the feature. but, after the instruction they liked it.
The User Suggested to add theĀ Changing ThemeĀ Option to make it more diversified
They thought theĀ new features were very innovative and easy to use
The Feature theĀ user liked the Most is Import Music
š Itās a wrap!
Thank you for taking the time to read this case study. I hope you like it. Have any feedback for me? or just want to say Hi? Connect with me onĀ Twitter
Also, Iām open to opportunities as a Visual Designer and UX researcher. Do reach out if youād like to work with me or collaborate on some projects.
Have a nice Creative Day ahead :)
