Create an interface design screen for 1 of the 4 following application category types:

1. A music service / player app such as Spotify, Apple Music or Pandora
2. A social media / sharing / communications app such as Instagram, What's App, Facebook or Snapchat
3. A video media player app such as Netflix or Hulu
4. A media-making app such as a Photoshop-like app, a Camera app, or a video or audio recording / mixing app

The design can either be a close replication of an existing design, something totally unique, or something in between. Your UX/UI design must include these 4 components, related to whichever app category you have selected. :

1. The design must fit the screen size / dimensions of a specific device, which must be noted in the comments. This frame MUST be defined by a background color / texture / pattern and/or image  - 1 pt
2. A gradient applied to either a background element or another component in the design - 1pt
3. Button / icon elements (at least 5 distinct buttons or icons) - 2 pts
4. Pixel image element with a clipping mask applied. Use your own unique pixel based images to replace any pixel based images in the original UX/UI designs (like album art, photos, portraits, etc) - 1 pt

Screen Design: 5pts 

After completing this first design, duplicate the design and then create a second version with significant differences applied to the placement and layout of the buttons and icons, OR the color + design aspects of the button / icon components. This additional, altered version is worth and additional 1 pt.

Alternative Screen Design: 1pt

Total Project - 2 Screen Designs: 6pts
