Global

Design Media 1 | Autumn 2023

For my Design Media 1 course, I created a new media player (such as Spotify or Apple Music) in Figma that featured a new element based on listeners and research from the current market. My media player, Global, uses non-algorithmic systems to introduce you to all different music worldwide. Learn fun facts about the country with the interactive map, share your with your friends your Global Picks, and filter your search based on what you want to learn!

Exploration of the current market, research, and findings.

One of the three personas made that aligns with the goal of the app.

The User Journey for the persona of how they would experience Global.

The final sitemap for Global with secondary pathways.

The initial sketches of the wireframe that played a role in my concept exploration as well.

The Low-Fidelity Wireframes were the base of the app before styling. The animation and effects were then ideated after styling parts of my app to understand what would be most cohesive.

The mood board with keywords about what the app was supposed to convey, to get the educational and fun emotion I went with rounder icons and typography as opposed to sharp.

The style guide utilized a fun, learning environment with playful colors and icons.

The final high fidelity three main screens that a user could find with the navigation bar at the bottom.

Mockups of the other screens in the app such as settings, album, about the artist, and a personalized album.

Mock-ups of the interactive maps and friends page that allows for socializing and engagement with content.

Global, is the media player that uses non-algorithmic systems to help you branch out of your regular music, learn fun facts about new regions, and immerse in different cultures.
