Design UI mockups for MusicBrainz Android's individual entity info pages

MusicBrainz for Android is the official Android application for MusicBrainz. It was an abandoned project for a few years. New work began on the application this year as a GSoC project. Though the app is now working, it is nowhere near the usability of Picard. A lot of work is still pending. The app also lacks a good UI/UX. This task is a part of a series of tasks aimed at improving the UI and UX of MusicBrainz Android.

In this particular task, you have to create UI/UX mockups for the individual entity info pages of MusicBrainz Android. When you search for some entity using the search box on the main screen, a list of results is displayed. Clicking any of the results, launches a new page with the detailed information on the individual entity. You have to create mockups for these pages. It is worth noting that different entities possess types of data to be displayed. Many entities have some or the other attribute missing. You are free to hide those fields or show something like N/A. You have to create mockups for only one type of entity page. Try to create a generic design which fits all or most of the entities.

You are not strictly required to conform with Material Design guidelines but it is a plus point if you do follow the guidelines. You are free to use any tool to create these mockups as long as you are able to share those freely.

The mockups may consist of images, videos, PDFs etc. Once you are ready with the mockups, discuss with your mentor about how to submit those.
