Neighbourhood Tracks

We believe that artists need a way to create a community, so they can learn from each other, find other musicians with similar interests in order to foster a creative environment. An app like Neighbourhood Tracks, that animates the users to meet up in real life and work together on projects could do exactly that.

Our Concept

Going away from the classical social media feed we decided to base the app on a community pinboard. Artists could post their projects, send requests or organize events. We decided to go in a retro-style-direction with the app. It should feel like a real life community pinboard with physical features. That is, why the look is based on old
cd-covers, but instead of creating them in a direct illustrative style, we wanted it to be more abstract.
As a visual element we came up with a circular form. It is supposed to be an abstract version of a cd and we used it as profile pictures and true to their origin: records.

Why we choose this style

Our goal with this style was to create an artsy, modern environment. It shouldn’t feel like a regular user interface. Since the app was made for artists, we thought it would be fitting, if it had a more creative look by itself.
