New Spotify Concept for WP 8.1

[Tupaitercekik]

The 'now playing' page will be place permanently at the top with the page navigation. Giving end-user more control over the app. New now playing page shows the progress bar, album cover, artist name, track name at all time.

All the icons are taken from the desktop version, for user to have small learning curve to use the app.



The controller also designed to be place at the bottom of the page and will slide up along with the hidden menu as the '...' is tapped.





This new design stands for simple and direct approach for listening music and enable end-user to get things done (spotify related) not more than 3 steps. What do you guys think of it? :smile:

I like your style.

I think it's too busy. instead of having that huge round button popping out (reminds me of the start button in Windows Vista) maybe make it the same size as others and consolidate into a big bar?
also, instead of big, mysterious icons at the top, maybe make those as headlines instead? headlines are more in line with the modern design language.
looking at the play circle and the windows button, it seems that the play circle isn't centered properly.
instead of having the artists art, track info, artist name at the top, consider consolidating all this and the play controls into one bar (kinda like the current WP model.)
the hue effect in each tile looks unnecessary and degrades the quality of the arts by tinting them green. consider removing this.

very unique and original design though. I kinda like it.

I really like this design cause this one stands out with color and had a unique design. The new one we have no is plain with white and black

This would be a good design for the Android or IOS versions, but it doesn't really follow the windows 8 design language
