A maximalist take on a powerful media player
Plex Amp is a beautiful, dedicated music player for audiophile purists and music curators looking for their next aural fix. Being a regular user of the application, I decided to take on the challenge of redesigning it from the ground up.
The main goal of the design was to push the limits of what a traditional music application looked like. The current-state features many of the same components and hierarchical themes of all music players.
While designing an application that adheres to familiar language patterns has been something that I feel is a very important part of UI/UX is understanding the difference between interface patterns that can and cannot be abstracted.
The clean-lined, subdued-colour aesthetic of minimalism has dominated the design scene in recent years. To distinguish Plex Amp from its competitors, I decided to bring on the maximalist sensibilities to my concept; through utilising bold colours, typography and visuals to cover up any empty space.
