App For Musicians Find New Musician by Takuya Saeki

---

DI: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

TS : I think it is everything I have seen and experienced. I try to see and experience only the "good" things.

DI: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

TS : The main content of this application is the various information that the musicians provide. The UI is designed for this purpose, so we were conscious of making it easy to operate while not interfering with the main content.

DI: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?

TS : The entries are independent productions. However, although the actual UI/UX production and development was originally done, it was not made public for one reason or another. That period is about a year and a half. It was filled with the thoughts of the client and other people involved, so we wondered if we could somehow release just the UI. I asked the client and received a response that it would be OK to release it on the Internet, which led to the creation of this work. The production of this work took about one month, since it was so much that we had to add a redesign. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

TS : Internet-related businesses and new business-related businesses.

DI: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?

TS : Adobe Illustrator was used as the main software.

DI: What is the most unique aspect of your design?

TS : Is it where a white object is superimposed on a white screen?

DI: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?

TS : As the project progressed, the number of contents to be posted increased, so we had to check and add / reduce the overall design for this purpose several times.

DI: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?

TS : Why don't you apply via the website? I was invited to apply, and I was interested, so I did. I thought it was an opportunity to see how my work would be evaluated on a global level.
