Overview of Design

Composite Design 3 is a web application designed with safety in mind while striving for reasonable efficiency. Such a design should assist more error-prone users who might be less computer-savvy while still remaining efficient enough for high-volume music directors to get their job done without much fuss.  Unlike the other designs, this design has been designed without a focus on playback, instead focusing on the editing and uploading portions of the task, since these are common tasks for both music directors and elves.

Sketch

Explanation

Lana sits down to upload some releases

She opens up her e-mail to view some digital downloads



She opens up the KaJaM! interface

And drags and drops the link from her e-mail to the interface

It automatically starts to download

She continues to drag and drop links for upload...

And will be prompted if the file is password protected

When she's done uploading, she looks over what's been loaded for each album

If it's got correct data, she clicks "YES" (It's okay)

And the album is loaded and saved and disappears from the list

When she finds the error on Starmarker's album, she clicks "NO" (It's not okay)

And is given options to change the release

She selects "Track Names" and is given a list to edit

She edits the names and clicks "Done"

And is returned to the "What's Wrong?" screen, where she clicks "Nothing," as everything is now correct

Since everything has been corrected, she clicks "YES" when asked again whether the album is now okay

Running out of time to do more work, she leaves the remaining albums to be handled by Adam (he will see them when he logs in)

Hurrying to submit her CMJ lists, she opens the CMJ submission for in another window

And switches to the charts tab in KaJaM!

She clicks the RPM genre tab and uses the top plays listed there to populate CMJ

Her job done, she logs off, content in the knowledge that more digital media has been catalogued than ever before
