Conclusion

Applications Used

• Adobe XD
• Adobe Photoshop

Future Development

I could build out all of the triggers for every song on this app, but I found that my development was limited using Adobe XD. I couldn't create a moving bar and length countdown for the duration of the songs. I also couldn't create a horizontal swiping motion to change songs in Adobe XD. I found a software that does allow for these features called ProtoPie. In the future, I could experiment with additional triggers to make the experience as close as possible to a professional music player.

Takeaways

I really love Spotify's platform and this learning experience allowed me to think about UX/UI design from the eyes of someone at Spotify. I also learned that it is important to find out the capabilities of the software you are using as soon as possible so that you can match it with your project goals. I also learned how to use Smart Objects in Photoshop to place any picture in a smartphone, tablet, or laptop mockup which I will definitely use going forward as I design and prototype my own ideas.
