iTunes Redesign
Playing around with Sketch I found out that Envato is hosting an iTunes redesign contest and I decided to try make a player I would like to use myself. So, behold :D (And check attachments for high resolution)
And also check Behance for full set of images:

Featuring minimal clean design, Apple's new beautiful San Francisco font family, dynamic playing header and convenient sidebar.
Now Playing
Header displays the playing controls such as play/pause, rewind buttons, shuffle and repeat, as well as the "Favorite" button for Apple Music.
Aside from the controls are the volume slider and Apple Music search box.
Background of the bar is colored using the key colors from the now playing track.
Left Bar
Left bar is recognizable, but cleaned up. Here you can find playlists, music sorted by genre and your connected devices. All lists are collapsible.
Right Bar ("Smart Bar")
Right bar shows up when song or album is selected and contains main song actions (Favorite, Add to Playlist, Start Station and Add to Up Next) and the "More" menu toggle, which will bring up the good old context menu with all possible actions.
Below that is "Up Next" list, which can be used to rearrange the songs that are about to be played. Songs can be dragged into this list.
iTunes Mini
Mini Player is more compact and versatile. Instead of being a big floating artwork, now it gives you the essential controls without hassle. The artwork is still used for background texture and color.
Mini Player also features a "Now Playing" dropdown which can be used to see what's coming next and rearrange it if needed.
Overral
iTunes doesn't need reinventing and ground up redesign. Otherwise it won't be iTunes anymore. Whoever wants to see Spotify already uses Spotify.
Instead I think iTunes needs slight improvements and "easing" because there's just too many elements all over the place.
My redesign attempt aimed at not breaking the familiar user experience while focusing on convenience and ease of use for everyday features.
Thanks for attention! :)
