Brainstorming, Requirements and Initial Design Document - TeohDB/KTV-Music-Player GitHub Wiki

This document can be found in the master branch (except for the brainstorming). The images all contain mobile phone elements-We decided after this document was made that we only wanted to make the app for Windows PC.

Brainstorming

The following image illustrates the initial thought process that the group had during the inception of the music player.

The application for this student project should contain the following (may change over time), in an unorganized order:

Program requirements:

• Buttons – Play, Stop/Pause, etcetera.

• Be able to play at least one audio sample (music, sounds etc.)

• Need to work on at least one platform, be it PC or mobile.

Design:

• Should be intuitive to the user – Minimal interface.

• Could be thematic – Application used for relaxation (or something similar)?

• Designed to play specific files from the authors of the application – does not work like a standardized music player.

Rapid prototype sketches

These sketches were done with the intention of visualizing initial ideas for the final product. Single Button layouts Button transition between states (active/inactive):

Layout 1

Thematic – Image used to illustrate the sound being played:

Layout 2

Only one button is visible at a time.

Multiple Button layouts Layout 1 4 buttons button – Play, Stop/Pause, Forward and Backwards (skip).

Layout 3

4 buttons button – Play, Stop/Pause, Forward and Backwards (skip). Vertical - Taking into account if the user left or right handed.
