Context
Music holds great significance in my life. I view it as a channel through which we can connect with both the people we already know and new individuals, immediately establishing common ground. For me, music is a means to express emotions, connect with others, and feel a sense of identification. In my leisure time, I thoroughly enjoy exploring and discovering new music, creating playlists with great care. I dedicate significant time to ensuring smooth transitions between songs and curating tracks I currently love, spanning various genres. This process is a personal challenge that I wholeheartedly relish.
Objective
Design the cover art for a series of personal playlists that I can share with my followers to establish connections with them and share an essential part of myself. I want the design to align with my new visual identity, incorporating the colors of my personal brand and utilizing geometric shapes. Additionally, I aim to inject a dash of emotion through animations on the covers to make them more dynamic and engaging.
What I've done
- I have successfully created a design that I am pleased with, one that I find both simple and eye-catching.
- I have integrated my new visual identity into the covers, adding a personal touch that reinforces my brand.
- The covers have become more dynamic and visually appealing due to the animations I have implemented.
Creative Process
1. I began by designing the central part of the playlist covers, using geometric shapes.
2. Subsequently, I expanded the cover design to include inspiration from the format of “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.” I added the playlist’s name and indicated that it was curated by me.
3. Upon reflection, I decided to simplify the design, aiming for a cleaner aesthetic that, when animated, would appear more attractive. I redesigned the central sections of the covers and changed the colors of the outside so they all go in the same line.
4. Finally, I added animations to the designs and achieved the final results for the covers.
Results
- I have achieved personalized, simple designs that reflect my visual identity.
- The covers look much better when animated.
- I now have a series of covers ready to share my beloved playlists and connect with my audience.
Conclusion
In summary, my strong passion for music has driven me to create visually appealing and dynamic playlist covers that reflect my personal brand. These covers serve as a means to connect with my audience on a deeper level, sharing a part of myself through the music I hold dear. Through this creative process, I've not only met my design goals but have also found a unique way to express myself and connect with others through the universal language of music.
