My team and I designed an on-site kiosk application that will enable those with less access to musical instruments, and proper music classes.
Problem Statement
People in underprivileged communities struggle to access music education, afford instruments, and find opportunities when they lack funding, transportation, or support. This limits their cognitive and emotional growth, reduces cultural engagement, and discourages lifelong musical exploration.
Our Values
The look and feel of the website were greatly impacted by these values. A friendly, soft, and approachable look was important for our users. It should look fun to use for all ages, and give users confidence that they can actually operate our kiosks. Music and affordability is daunting, so a worry free interface would be a great idea to draw away from the stressors that are present when starting a musical journey.
Inclusivity
Music for everyone. Fostering a community where everyone is welcome, of any background and skill level.
Creativity
Embraces imagination, originality, and artistic expression, using bright and playful colors and visuals.
Accessibility
Down-to-earth music education and rentals made easy for everyone to have a chance at music.
Authenticity
Genuine connections with instructors with a kind and helpful tone of voice.
Typography/Hierarchy
Color Palette
Buttons & Components
Illustrations
These characters were meant to make the kiosk interfaces more approachable by adding a bit of personality.
Prototype
A quick and smooth interfaces mixed with easy to understand patterns guide the user through a brisk, no hassle, process of scheduling a consultation, renting an instrument, and setting an appointment for lessons.
