Introduction
Cinesamples needed a website designed and developed to house their virtual instruments and libraries for use across many different entertainment mediums. We also helped them iron out their branding strategy.
TheChallenge
Cinesamples is an e-commerce site that sells virtual instruments and libraries of orchestral pieces utilizing these instruments for use in television, movies, video games, and more. For this branding and UI case study, we were tasked with designing and developing their site. They also needed some branding strategy tweaks and UI consulting to help iron out their identity to form a cohesive picture, including color palette and font changes.

TheSolution
We started with a discovery phase where we researched the vertical to understand why and how users were purchasing these types of pieces. After learning about the space, we jumped straight into high-fidelity mockups. As those were approved, we then designed the corresponding mobile screens.
When it came time to develop the site, we had to coordinate API integration between the libraries on Cinesamples, the music player Musio, which is an affiliated company, and WooCommerce to ensure that licenses were functioning as intended. We then inspected the developed site to make sure it was free from bugs and errors.
