PROCESS MAKES PERFECT



Our world is increasingly dominated by generative AI and many designers create work as if they were generative AI, taking prompts and fulfilling them invisibly. Design where the process is as visible and interesting as the finished product is a marketable and valuable rarity.

I use digital tools expertly, and analogue tools when they produce a better result. I’m a firm believer in process, and I use it to make the best work I can.

Wishing you the best,

MONTHLY MIX PLAYLIST ART




BRIEF

Provide a fun visual introduction for the monthly Spotify playlists Westward Studio releases.


SOLUTION

This was a small project, but a really fun one because of how loose the parameters were. This was like playing in a sand box.
