This group project included both a logo redesign and an interface overhaul. Every member of the group has a personal connection to Soundcloud and we all could agree that the interface had to be improved.
Soundcloud rebrand
The first two steps of this project were auditing and benchmarking. We gathered 3 types of apps and decided on our favorite: music streaming apps. We then analyzed the competitors of Soundcloud along with previous Soundcloud redesigns and chose our favorite features of each.

The third step of the project was to draw wireframes of pages we wanted to redesign. We then created an information architecture layout for two tasks and wrote each page on a Post-it note. We scrambled the notes in a pile and had our peers try to organize it. We used their critiques to make digital wireframes in Figma. We also created personas or hypothetical users of the app with different needs.
The final products of this project were a video demonstration of the tasks and a design system that details all of the interface’s unique features. We used the prototype setting on Figma to make everything interactive and used arrows throughout the video to help the viewer follow along.
