Above is a final mockup design for the app. The top row shows off the main pages and their menus, below is the search function and finally the playback menus.
The design has taken inspiration from various places as well as taking on critique from fellow peers. From the main app pages you can use album artwork to navigate through saved songs, followed albums and suggested music.
The search function allows a standard type and search function but if the microphone icon is held down then a feature to hum, whistle or sing the tune of the song will appear giving an easier way to find a song whose title may be unsure of.
The playback windows have not changed much from the first mockups apart from features to loop or shuffle the songs.
For the overall design of the app I have taken inspiration from the recent Instagram update which took all the colour out of the apps interface apart from the images the user uploads. Making the app black and white meant there was more freedom with the colour choices for the album artwork and for the playback options. This also means the app is not over complicated or garish with bold block colours constantly staring at you.
Although the app needed to be familiar overall the design has still shown new innovative ideas, that still may need work but for now is a good direction to be steering towards.
