Sampl
Sampl (concept) is a music education and creation platform, which offers users a multi-genre sample library, third-party audio plug-ins, and hours of tutorial course content on a subscription basis. To meet Sampl’s vision, I created a responsive website concept for music producers and engineers of all backgrounds. Users can seek out courses and tutorials, with access to incentives and resources to help improve the educational experience.
Crafting a New Digital Workflow for Artists
In an age defined by the accessibility of online resources, the landscape of learning new skillsets has been significantly reshaped. Social media platforms and video-sharing websites such as YouTube have become pivotal resources, particularly in fields like music production and songwriting. While these platforms offer a wealth of tutorials and insights, the sheer volume of content can often overwhelm learners, lacking a cohesive structure for skill development. However, amidst these challenges lies a unique opportunity: Integrating structured tutorial content with additional resources such as sample libraries and access to third-party plug-ins, we could create a holistic experience for artists of all kinds. This integration not only addresses the fragmentation of learning but also enhances the creative process for a wide variety of users by offering a comprehensive toolkit within a single platform. The solution? Create a responsive web platform that offers users access to hours of instruction, sample libraries and sounds, and easy access to the top VSTs and software - all to streamline their creative process.
Addressing these challenges head-on, Sampl sets out to redefine the digital workflow for artists. We envision a centralized platform that serves as a hub for tutorials, sample libraries, and access to third-party plug-ins, providing users with a streamlined and comprehensive learning experience. By consolidating these resources into a cohesive and user-friendly interface, we aim to empower creators to navigate their creative journey with ease and efficiency.

For Sampl, the design was driven by a desire for simplicity and impact. The color palette was curated with a vibrant orange statement color inspired by the glow of music gear in a studio environment, complemented by accents of off-white, charcoal, and light grey for versatility in text and background elements. I chose the font Futura for its modern, sans-serif style, echoing the aesthetic of popular music production software like Ableton. The logo design blended vintage analog gear fonts with contemporary elements, featuring a period to symbolize a drum pad trigger. In terms of UI layout, custom icons and consistent card designs were implemented to maintain a cohesive visual identity across sample packs, plug-ins, and tutorial videos.
