Two more versions: Interaction Design

Down the rabbit hole

Decisions made.

Got rid of News as an option as it is unnecessary.

Left Playlists alone, though did leave it as an Artist edit option as it functions the same as rest of Spotify. 

However, will revisit as a chat option - this would make sense as playlists are or can be social and fit into the communication with and reaching out to fans, also social and professional networking.

Left Chat out of main tab (still pictured as light blue and with dotted lines).

Included it as an option in artist manage media and content (still refining label).

Keeping chat aspect simple.

Actually will try to make it simpler...

 My last two versions:

Now back to wireframe sketches.

Focussing on FUNCTIONALITY

Interaction Design

 Looking at my card sort and Userflow. Focussed on the Interaction design

Spending time on the Artist Media aspect not the other element to the feature I'm designing... Not sure if this is the right thing. IE: I am fleshing out the wrong aspect. I am however really nutting things out - which I need to do to work through this. Think I'll get there tomorrow. Definitely can't jump into UI just yet. I'm confident I will have no trouble losing myself in XD.

Problems: My Chat feature. Shall I continue with this? Can I keep it simple so it is one of the elements my Artist Media can smoothly and easily link to as an option?

As I'm behind should I keep it simple?

Can I still include it but as a simpler version?

Simpler version, limited? Same amount of interaction and IA needed?

Problems resolved: and decided on the placement of feature/idea in the Spotify interface for Artist Media.  Extending it out in my Info Architecture and then the wireframes a little more to cover all of the extra bits.
