SoSound
Challenge
In this self-directed project, I was tasked to find & attempt a solution to a major issue that is faced in our world today. For me, this issue was to source employment & opportunity for those who seek to develop a career in the Irish music industry. Through research, the most appropriate solution was to create & brand an educational jobs platform that allows young adults at the beginning of their musical careers to have access to opportunities, articles, internships and important connections to succeed in the music industry.
Design
As a name solution, the most successful resolution was “SoSound” as this reflects the Irish meaning of the slang term for someone you respect. Visually the site’s branding incorporates circles & curvature as this reflects unity and that most musical instruments use the shape of a circle. The site’s desktop version incorporates two scrollable menus allowing the user to remain on a selected article or opportunity while staying up to date with the latest posted openings and information.
Result
After successfully gaining real-world feedback from those in the music industry, it was a shared opinion that if a service like “SoSound” had existed when they were starting out, they would have most certainly been able to develop a musical career much quicker and smoother allowing for them to gain valuable information that was not available to them when they were starting out.
