Rhapsody is a collaborative music remixing experience built as a prototype installation for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for our New Media Senior Team Project. Users choose from Classic Rock songs and collaborate on a multi-touch interface to create their own personalized mix, all while learning about the basic fundamentals of audio production in the music industry. Players can experience Rhapsody with a friend or opt for a solo jam session.

Rhapsody utilizes multi-track songs from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, giving users complete control over every aspect of their musical creation. Auto-generated visuals respond to the music and give users colorful and visually interesting feedback as they play.

Our group was made up of 5 New Media Designers and 4 New Media Interactive Developers. I was responsible for the visual and UI portions of the project, and my main focus was creating comps and designing the visuals for the main table experience. I created initial sketches and moodboards, and worked with one of our other designers, Shannon Baird, to create initial wireframes. As the project progressed, I took over the wireframes, creating different iterations and the final wireframes.

When it came time to skin the wireframes and create visuals for the experience, I designed the icons and graphics for the table interface, including the sliders and visualizer. In addition, I helped create branding elements, group presentations and other graphic elements when needed. I was also responsible for documenting our team's progress on our blog throughout the course of the semester.
