Research

CONCEPTUAL INQUIRY

For research we gathered data through an online questionnaire, interviews with people who consented to being interviewed on the questionnaire, and a photo study to those who couldn’t do an interview.

INSIGHTS

  • Emphasize connections you can make through music

  • Promoting the joy of discovery of new music

  • The relationship between your mood and music

Ideation

BRAINSTORMING

With the insight that we gathered from our conceptual inquiry, we focused our ideation on those aspects. We generated 60 ideas that seemed promising by using the Crazy Eights, eight ideas in eight minutes. We had a variety of sketches, from physical products, apps, and user experience layouts.
