Karaoke Competition App

A Fun Project Designed for an Adobe Creative Jam

About Creative Jam

The Competition

The competition facet of this Creative Jam was to design an app informed and guided by a theme which Adobe provided. The theme was “Let’s Do It Again.” Michael and I decided to tune our approach to the theme in a way that played upon the sound of “Do It” as “Duet” — as we’re such eager fans of word play. From our interpretation of the theme, as Duet, we designed an imaginary karaoke competition app.

Our App

We called it “Let’s Duet Again.”

As this competition required that we design the app’s user interface in three hours, we had no time for user testing! Don’t hold that against us! Inspired by Adobe’s challenge, the app’s user interface is influenced upon several user experience constraints that we assembled from practices and considerations that we have gleaned in our day jobs as user experience-focused interactive designers.

The User Experience

The System Experience

This app won’t be difficult to develop (says the design guy!). The nature of such an app affords us the opportunity to drastically simplify the feature set, which accommodates a simpler user interface.

The Outcome

As the awards in the additional images demonstrate, we tied with another team for People’s Choice Award and we earned second place in the Professional Judges’ Award too. The other teams were phenomenal and we were nervous facing such stiff competition. Congrats to the first place winners!

I look forward to next year’s Creative Jam.

Thanks Adobe!
