For the first two weeks I’ve been constantly thinking of ideas for my final project, in and indeed outside of class time. There have been quite a few ideas that have came to mind and others that I would immediately discard, as they are designs that already exist or were merely not good enough to proceed with. But out of all these ideas, I was able to narrow it down to 3 of my favourite ideas.

Idea 1

A Social Media Music App

This app would be a combination of Spotify, Facebook, Instagram and BandsinTown all in one. The app will allow the user to listen to music, make playlists, follow bands/artists and also to share music with friends which they can follow on the app and comment on the songs they are listening to. The main page will be a news feed page showing what playlist or song your friends are listening to. Similar to facebook, you can like/react to a persons song they are listening to. You could also directly message your friends on the app. Then on another page, it would be completely music related, e.g you can search songs, see your playlists, listen to a song through your device etc. Ideally the idea is a social media app based on music.

Pros:

• It is an easy way for people to share music without relying on a second party e.g facebook
• It can be another social media platform for connecting with friends
• Songs can be downloaded onto the users mobile, so it doesn’t require WiFi to listen to music.

Cons:

• Not everyone likes listening to music on an app
• There are existing platforms, but they don’t other social media aspect
