This was my Master’s degree final project. I was researching ways how to optimise the music experience in the digital age. Album artwork has a less significant role in digital music. You lose the tactility of an album cover and people are listening much more passive to music.
My answer is Antenna, a music app that tries to bring some of that experience back through the integration of app-albums, while embracing the advantages of the iPad.
I designed this app after a lot of research. I researched literature, conducted interviews, compared many different music players / streaming services to come up with this idea and translate it to wireframes and later on a high-fidelity prototype. I created a blog (in Dutch) where I logged my progress.
Follow your friend's activities, listen to music in your own collection, stream music or buy music in the overview mode.
Get more information about the artist and the song.
Buy immersive app-albums. You can find more info about this app-album on the project page.
Add photos to your diary and connect them with your favourite songs.
Remix a song together with other fans.
This was my thesis presentation, showing some of the research for this app (in Dutch):
