Solus is a music application to support rising artists with a user-friendly donation feature.
I worked as the UX researcher and UI/UX designer in this project in a team of four. I designed the logo, icon, style guide, and wireframe for the application. The final prototype was created with the help of my colleagues.
Early Research
Our team implemented early research about the potential users. We also performed a competitor analysis to find out weaknesses and strengths of the existing music applications.
Tools
Our team used some Design Thinking Tools to gather information that informed our next design decisions. The tools used include: Affinity Diagram and FigJam.
An Affinity Diagram was used to narrow down interview questions/ideas.
Coded interview transcripts transferred in FigJam to sort the most popular themes.
Persona
Empathy Map
New Company Logo
Usability Testing
We implemented some Usability Testing to find out which icon communicates more efficiently with users.
The Usability Testings performed include: Preference Testing, and A/B Testing.
Wireframe
Using the Usability Testing results, some sketches were created. To visualize the key pages, the team also collaborated to make a lo-fidelity wireframe . The application wireframe was used as the blueprint to visualize the user flow for Solus application
Prototype
Based on user research the prototype was created. The application presents a simple and easy donation feature for the users to support their favorite new artists.
The application was designed to be used in different devices. Using Auto Layout in Figma created the possibility for the application to be easily scalable in multiple platforms.
