“Shape and Sound” Workshop
In week 5 we have attended the Shape and Sound workshop by Chris where we looked at the spotify playlist photo and how there is so many ways it could be improved. We talked about how the photo only shows a couple of albums and doesn’t connect to all of the songs in the playlist or the user. By not fully representing the playlist, the cover makes it difficult for the user to connect with the playlist and to fully take advantage of it’s purpose. We discussed how there is many ways to make the spotify experience more enjoyable and less overwelming with so many covers jammed together. How about creating one playlist cover that would connect to every song in the playlist !
We have been given a task to create a playlist cover that would fit twelve songs in the playlist and also other songs. At the start I was thinking.. how would that be even possible to combine all the genres and types into one, but then I thought how you can combine part of all the album covers into one or adding animation where you can swipe through the covers to see them all.
I plan to further research into album covers and songs to find new fresh ideas.
