A mobile app influenced by the rise of silent discos parties in music festivals. The project introduce Silent Disco App, for noise-free festival experience, allowing users to see what is played, create societies and join virtual dance parties, share location with friends, buy and collect items on festival or see the map of the festival.
This project aimed to create an immersive mobile app experience for virtual dance parties. Inspired by visit of Pohoda festival in Slovakia - this app can more broadly be seen as a response to the rise of silent disco parties in music festivals, which have become increasingly popular as a way to provide a unique and inclusive music experience and respond the need of ecological aspects of noise pollution. The app allows users to see what is played, create societies and join virtual dance parties, share location with friends, buy and collect items on festival or see the map of the festival. The design process focused on creating an intuitive and engaging user experience that fosters social connection and enhances the enjoyment of music festivals.
Solo project - full UXdesign and development
3 months (Design, Feedback Gathering & Implementation)
Figma, Adobe Illustrator
The research phase before development focused on benefits of quiet spaces and their impact on human psychology and social interaction. The target audience was identified as individuals seeking peaceful music experiences away from urban noise but also interested in sustainable and eco-friendly solutions.
Key benefits: Reduced noise pollution in open spaces, and risk of health issues associated with constant noise exposure.
Target audience: Age 16-35, all genders and digitally savvy.
The best way to gather feedback and test ideas is through low-fidelity cardboard prototyping technique. This approach allows for rapid iteration and user-centered design decisions leading to best outcomes while minimizing development time and resources.
The prototype focused on interaction design and user flow.
The paper prototype was tested with users to gather feedback on usability and design decisions. The users were target audience members. The feedback was gathered through interview and quantitative methods - QR code at the end of the presentation.
Key findings: Users found the interface intuitive but suggested improvements to the navigation flow and visual hierarchy.
The feedback was analyzed to identify patterns and insights for improving the design.
The data were collected through surveys and user testing sessions and resulted in detailed report to explain the findings.
The design improvements were implemented based on the feedback and analysis. The prototype was created in Figma with some initial designs in Adobe Illustrator.
The final mockup was presented to stakeholders for review - displays and video presentation.
The type of project required careful resource management and prioritization of features.
Features: Scrollable interface, interactive elements, shopping cart functionality
Easy navigation and intuitive controls were prioritized to enhance user experience and reduce cognitive load.
Techniques: content only appeared when needed - user clicks on touchscreen
The design was created with accessibility in mind, ensuring all users can navigate and interact with the application effectively.
Considerations: Hearing accessibility, visual accessibility, asking for additional help
