SONG LIBRARY

A song library created to allow kids in the hospital to make song requests for a Sing Along show.

Utilizing Resources

This is an unconventional app. There was no coding involved. Instead, it was created in Google Slides. Due to budget and resource constraints, I had to brainstorm a way to create a song library that users could quickly browse find a song they like.  

​

This app will be brought into patients' rooms in a pediatric hospital to collect song requests for an in-house TV show. Patients will be able to scroll through the gallery of artists. Once they find an artist they like, they can click on the thumbnail to go to a list of songs the singers for the show know. If they want to keep looking, they can click "Back to Gallery" to return to the gallery of artists.

Artist Gallery Experience

The labeled icons indicate which way the user should swipe on the tablet to get to the next page. They can also keep track of which page they are on in the gallery of artists by looking at which dot is highlighted at the bottom of the page.

Challenges

1. Limited Functionality - Google Slides (or PowerPoint) can be a great prototyping tool, but you don't have access to the same features as a developed app would allow. 

2. Linking is tedious - Google Slides doesn't allow you to search for slides in the presentation. So as the library grows, adding new songs could become cumbersome. 

3. Difficult to sort songs - As all of the artist's thumbnails and names have to be entered and sorted manually, a more complex system would be necessary to sort the songs. This also makes it impossible to make the gallery alphabetical as it grows.

Artist's Song Lists

Once a user clicks on a thumbnail, they will be brought to a page that displays the list of songs the singers know by that artist. Eventually, the users will be able to click on songs to preview it. If they would like to keep looking through the gallery, they click "Back to Gallery."
