The research was started with a domain analysis, user interviews, and user segmentation to define personas. After that we constructed a user experience map, which gave us an overview of the interactions between the user and the product. Card sorting was used to define metadata that most of the users where interested in. The knowledge we gathered was used to design the user interface in an iterative fashion.

Ethnomuse

The purpose of my master thesis was to design an user interface for the digital archive of Slovenian folk music, called Ethnomuse, that would be easy to use and provide an intuitive multimedia content experience. The main goal of the research was to enable the user to understand the folk music metadata scheme and to design a user interface that will enable the user to complete the intended tasks effortlessly.
The visual identity of Ethnomuse was inspired by the user’s enthusiasm for manuscripts and others historical elements. They provided awareness about their past and gave them an added value to the digital archive. Because of that we chose a primitive color combination of red, black, and gold. The black represents ink, red represents blood, life, first caves paintings, and gold represents the wealth of collection.
