Spotify + Starbucks
One of the more magical projects at Starbucks was creating these mini "album-covers" for Starbucks Spotify playlists. The tiles below went through much ideation, multiple iterations and rigorous reviews to get to where they are now. In the typical Starbucks design cannon, they each have a real hand-drawn element layered into the design. Take a closer look:
Modern Soul
Here's my typographic ode to 60's–70's era graphics, and to the many now-worn vinyl sleeves of yesteryear.
Love Songs
I created this pattern and texture to invoke the corporeal sensations of velvet pillows and satin sheets.
Thanksgiving Gathering
Using a forest floor as a subtle textural backdrop, this design plays to the idea of gathering flora for the tabletop cornucopia.
Black History Month
A patchwork of color inspired, with love, by the paintings of Northwest local, Jacob Lawrence.
Coffeeshop Pop
Sometimes you need a little pick me up in a comfortable setting. What's more iconic than a chalkboard sign?
Guest DJ Template
I helped create the standardized Guest DJ template, an integral and delightful component of the Starbucks + Spotify partnership.
Here's how it looks in the player.
