Design

Work with team.
Make something good.
Long Explanation
During this ideation phase, I conceptualized and drafted designs that would incorporate a web app where users could switch between the live radio stream and pre-recorded podcasts/shows from the site.

Low Fidelity

Prototype

After drafting paper wireframes, I designed solutions in Adobe Xd to solidify the direction the site would be built in, focusing on mobile first.

Results and Outcomes

In the end the tests determined that it takes more work to have an all encompassing media player.

We opted for a toggle-able stream that you could see current play info on.

My team left our findings and prototypes for the next group of web designers and developers to take over.
