From store to dining table
When we want to listen to music in the car, our selection of music is influenced by the day, time, place and the tastes of fellow passangers.
How do you select appropriate music? High capacity digital music players allow people to have access to their entire music library, but it can be difficult to know what music to play.
When I created this design, I wanted to find a way to make compiling an appropriate playlist simple and visual. Search tools are useful for finding a single song, but make it difficult to quickly compile a tailored multi-track playlist. The interface can create a playlist by blending colors associated with different genres.
The design was created during an internship at Pioneer.
