It’s 2014. A few friends and I decided to get together in the city for spring break. We caught up, we ate, we partied and course we talked music. We’ve always been the kind of group to alert each other at any given time if one of our favourite artists was releasing a new song or we wanted to share our playlists or discuss some new or past releases. Although we’ve had many heated arguments, we’re all still friends.
We started a Facebook group called “Music Shit”. Anything music related was to be shared in the group. Any genre, song, album, mixtape, news, gossip, tours, original music…anything. The group was a success and we’ve all been able to expand our libraries and have insightful conversations about music. It was a great way to keep in touch.
A few years go by and there is less and less activity in the group and the main reason being is that a lot of us had ditched Facebook. So thinking back to that spring break of 2014, I decided to design an app where all of us could get back together online to discuss and discover music.
Mish* is an app that sets out to host a centralized space for friends to discuss, discover, and rank music.
Thanks to my boys for all the inspiration.
Below you will find a detailed walk-through of the app. Every day I’m designing new screens and working with a developer to bring this idea from concept to product. I’m also redesigning screens and interactions as I continue to research and gain insight. I’m also currently working on user flows and building a prototype that I can use to test the app and refine it based on the results.
