Overview
There are a lot of apps available for
people to enjoy music. Your Tunes is an
app for people to easily customize their
listening experience based on what's
currently popular and their musical
preferences. Your Tunes focuses on ages 21 to 45 as these are the ages that are most active during the day and need something that keeps them going!
Role
UI/UX Designer
Challenge
I created Your Tunes because I spend most of my day listening to music myself to get through the work day like most people. Music apps like Spotify and Apple are complex with a variety of things to explore and often change their UI which can confuse the user.
Competition
Apple Music
Has too many options other than music
like movies, tv shows, etc. that users can
get lost in. Your Tunes wants users to
focus on whatever task they have at
hand.
Spotify
Often changes its UI without notifying
its users. Your Tunes keeps everything the same. Simple and easy to use so users are familiar with its UI and able to easily get around the app.
Youtube Music
Unable to share singular songs with
others. Your Tunes allows its users to share any song of their choice with their friends and family.
Solution
I created an app that only supports music. Your Tunes focuses on simplicity so the user can easily customize their musical listening experience that doesn't distract them from completing their tasks.
Key Feature
Your Tunes focuses on keeping things short and simple for its users.

Mood
I searched Dribble and other design sites for inspiration to design this mood board. The mood board set the tone for Your Tunes.
