Individual Design Sketches - Set 3 - Daniela

Sketch 1

• This is the first preliminary design sketch that emulates a common music library (Example iTunes, MediaMonkey etc.)
• Very comprehensive, includes playback control, an area for Drag 'n' Drop zip files with an import status section
• All functions are contained in one single interface only, so it may be a bit overwhelming at first
• Sections are divided into "Music added during this session" and "New Releases" (music added in the recent 3 months)
• Under "New Releases", the music tracks are further grouped into different genres (Loud Rock, RPM, Jazz and Pop/Rock)

Sketch 2

• This is the second preliminary design sketch that is a bit more uncluttered and gives more space for displaying information
• Users can still drag and drop zip files (scan did not show up clearly but there are letter "Drag and Drop to Add" printed on the background of the interface)
• Two panels at the side display the "Top Played Tracks" for a given week, and a "Search" interface for navigating the library
• Tabs at the top allow the user to create different "sessions", essentially a different view of the library. Each session can have a separate import queue
• Tabs at the side divide the music tracks by genre, since music directors are divided by genre, they hardly concern themselves with other genres
• Albums imported within the current session are shown with the album art, genre tags, artist name, album name and the full track listing
• Albums imported from previous sessions are simply displayed in a list format
