DESIGN BOARDS

There may seem a lot of work missing from my design boards that are on my blogs, I chose to put the most relevant information on my design boards so that they could be concise and clear. The key elements of each section have been highlighted in the design boards. The rest is on here.

PROJECT STATEMENT

As there was no primary research undertaken for this project, there was no need for any ethical considerations for involving participants. However, if the app design was to become a real working app available for people to download, there were many to consider. The app is an iteration of a music streaming service, like most it would have the ability to play music. People who struggle with a hearing impairment will not be able to fully enjoy the music being played, however, the lumetri scopes provide visuals of the songs that are meant to reflect the sounds being played.

The app (if made into an actual product) would have an age restriction on it with proof of ID needed t...

Its visual language, the legibility of typography, glyphs and symbols and grid systems, just were not regarded as a recognised discipline until later. Nevertheless, both music and design came together and made music what it is today. Many elements have contributed to such a relationship, the musicians and designers involved, the indu...
