RIFF: Kinetic Collaboration & Remote Jamming

Project Overview

RIFF is a high-energy, collaborative music creation app concept designed to transform remote music production by replacing boring, spreadsheet-like audio software with a highly visual, gamified jam ecosystem. This project was a capstone brief set by Bimbo Oni Studio under the industry theme of Audiophile & Analog-Digital Soundscapes. The brief asked for a six-scene illustration system and supporting spot illustrations that communicate both the dull, isolated frustration of a creative block and the high-energy, kinetic burst of a live digital collaboration. The deliverable was not a UI design project. It was a visual storytelling project, one that needed to make a viewer feel the problem before they understood the solution.
