Music Player

The Concept

Having always wanted my own vinyl collection, I wondered what a similar digital experience would look like. From flipping through a library to putting it into a player, the interactions on this app attempt to simulate the look and feel of putting on a record digitally (and let's be honest, futilely, as nothing will compare to putting on an actual record).

Before designing and animating the features, I felt that I had to at least map out rough wire-flows and possible interactions that would inform my music-player screen. This helped the app make some sense getting from browsing albums to playing a song. With that said, however, the focus of this project was mainly to experiment with motion design.

This is one of the few projects I used AfterEffects to animate heavily with. Trying to achieve the interactions I had in mind was quite a challenge. Improvised methods with precise timelines were required to create the intended animation.
