Project: Ponder - App
The Challenge:
Design an app for a specific group of users in mind. Ponder promotes comprehension and immersion of books through the use of music. Designed for users that have full time commitments with limited time to read.
Ponder combines ambient moods of music, that the user can tailor to their personal preference, with any book they’re reading, using the built in e-reader or any physical book.
Examples of different moods:
