What’s Been Done
Research (0hr)
- No research work done this week
Design (7 hours)
- Took the feedback that our group received from the concept tests and continued updating the prototype. The major updates are addressed below:
- Updated the artist name state. Decided that having artist names always displayed by default would be the most functional UX based on the feedback that we heard from users.
- Created the first pass at what the “Settings” menu would look like. This would give users the option to enable/disable/change certain aspects of the interface. These options were things that users expressed split opinions on. For example, some users stated that they wanted the option to enable/hide secondary links at their discretion.
- Designed first version of the filtering menu. Still need to continue researching the different filters that are possible and useful.
- Redesigned the artist module to simplify and consolidate certain aspects of the interface. Want to put this version and some of the other variations that I designed in front of users this week to test again.
- Designed an early flow of what the “Create Playlist” module could look like. This will require more design explores and testing with users to validate the feature and overall flow. The features in this mockup were based on some of the playlist creators that already exist for the Spotify API online (https://www.moodplayl.ist/mood-playlist-generator-personalised-taste/) (https://www.playlist-generator.com/)
