Podcast & Storytelling Apps Interface
The idea is creating an apps where user can record, share, and listen to their podcast or storytelling. You can say it's a social storytelling platform, but you don't read here, but listen. It's like Wattpad but you listen to it.
I take a concept of bedtime story. People tend to hear in bedtime story. It's to bring a childhood memory when our parent tells us story before sleep.
Cause it's for bedtime story, I try to make the theme in dark. It's more comfortable for eye, and also you don't spend most of the times on screen, so it's also reduce the battery usage.
First, I try to improve my sign up page. A good body copy is a good step to convince the user to apply. I try to introduce the app with the body copy, so user knows what they'll get after they sign up.
For the home, I research several music, storytelling and webtoon apps to analyze the features. Then I got some important point for this apps
1. Navigation to create your story
2. To search find a story
3. Premium subscribe highlight
4. Your leftover playlist & library
5. Recommendation
Then I decide some of them can be put on navigation bar, and some can be show up on the main page and... voila! Here is the design
And you can see a consistent outline style on the icon and illustration too. A consistent and coherent style will build a brand for the apps
Last, I think the user at least in moderate (or high) education level when they have interest to read or listen a story or podcast by apps rather than watching video or image. Sometimes they also need to focus their eye on something else, maybe their work or project, but they still want to gain information. A typical behavior of smart person. And a smart user likes something simple. So you can see I don't put any title on navigation bar, cause they might already figure it out, or thin outline icon to make it minimalst.
But it's my opinion. I don't mind if you think more explicit design is better, cause people will understand easier. I agree with that, and admit my design is more risky. Just tell me about it :)
I hope you enjoy it. If you have something, maybe some advices or opinions, feel free to share on the comment ^^ Thank you
