Design Details

Unique Properties: this app can distribute concerts information, music videos, and profile all at once. It also helps to attract guests and promote songs. Users can also enjoy meeting and discovering new musicians through the app.
Inspiration: This UI was in progress in a project. However, for some reason it was not possible to publish it. I created a UI for this app, but I felt sad that everyone could not see it, and I asked the client for confirmation. The client has accepted for publication. So that's a re-creation of that UI.
Research: Musicians who are still not well-known use SNS / blogs to share their activities, and this functions as another such a platform. Within the app, users can see their daily statistics of "Likes," "Shares," and "Follows" to help understand the motivations and reactions of fans as they spread information.
Challenge: For the user to reach the screen with the desired information with as few transitions as possible. To determine both the necessary and unnecessary information
Realization and Technology: I used Adobe Illustrator and Adobe photoshop.
Operation and Interaction: Three types of information, "Concerts information", "Music Videos", and "Artist Profile" are displayed on the Home screen, making it easy to both find artists with information other than songs as well as find artists with similar styles to the user's preferences.
Project Duration and Location: This work took about 9 months
Specifications: Target screen size is W375px * H667px (smartphone App for iOS).
Keywords: ui, ux, user interface, user experience, smartphone app, ios, ui concept, musician
