Jupiter
Music Application concept designed for modern music festival attendees and aspiring DJs.
Jupiter dives into the world of User Experience Design and User Interface Design. Competitor research and strategy is used to create an intuitive app that music listeners will understand with ease. Products are user-tested and revised in order to increase likelihood of a perfect solution. Branding and visual concepts are then added to pull together the electric and discoverable app, Jupiter. Where listeners can relive the live sets they saw in person, upload their own content, share and create playlists all in one organized app.

Napkin Sketches
To visualize the app from the user's point of view.
Designers start by researching existing app flows in order to get thoughts organized. With a user's perspective in mind, a step by step design can be created without the artistic components overpowering the real goal of the app. The goal of the app is for users to listen to music, the aesthetic components come second.
