Our Key Features

Through research, we decided to focus on four key features that jazz listeners would want out of their app:

  • live event feature

  • a music exploration page

  • a mood feature

  • sleep alarm/timer

Establishing the Structure

Afterwards, we created wireframes that would set the foundation for our app

Establishing the Visuals

Learned that a dark theme with subtle touches of pastel colors best depicted a sense of “jazz”

Elevating the Jazz Experience

Backed up by research on what our users want and an understanding of what “jazz” means, Jazzam is an app that further explores the genre that can be enjoyed by our niche targeted enthusiasts.

The final design refines our visual design prototypes and incorporates a seamless flow to enhance our user’s experiences with their music
