Album Cover Bank launches improved filter experience for easier exploration of the archive
"With this update, users can quickly and efficiently access specific album covers and historical information, streamlining their journey through the archive," the announcement notes.
Independent Arts, a studio dedicated to passion projects, has announced the launch of a significant update to Album Cover Bank, a digital archive showcasing over 5,300 Nigerian album covers from 1980 to the present day. The update, it says, “makes it easier for users to explore the vast history of Nigerian music and graphic design.”
“We’re excited to share a revamped filter experience that makes navigating the Cover Bank more intuitive,” the announcement stated. According to Samson Oyedija, one of the archive custodians, the latest update began with a simple question: How do we improve the way users interact with the archive and enhance their experience?
“With this update, users can quickly and efficiently access specific album covers and historical information, streamlining their journey through the archive,” he wrote.
“This is just the start of our efforts to make the archive more interactive and user-friendly. Today’s announcement is the first step, and we’ve got even more exciting updates in store,” adding a sneak peek of something else they are working on, which he says is set to take things to a whole new level. “We can’t wait to share this with you,” he concluded.
