Muser 

​

Muser is a music discovery app created to help music lovers go beyond their Discovery playlist on Spotify to find new genres, songs and artists. It uses the "Muser's" Spotify Discovery playlist as a foundation for new music suggestions that use a wider array of data to increase the amount fo songs the user is exposed to. The app functions similarly to the dating app Tinder in that you swipe left or right on a song if you prefer it or not. The more songs you Muse, the more the app will suggest and  will save the songs you like to varying playlists based on genre, songs and new artists.

I worked with the developer of this app to create a bold and eye catching brand, which includes the logo design, color palette, and brand guide. I also created the design for the app fully based on the code and mock ups from the developer. The intention behind the logo design was to speak to the notion of listening to music in an abstract way. The swirl near the ear area alludes to using headphones for listening and the shape filling the head demonstrates the feeling that comes with hearing a new song you love. I chose a playful and rounded fond to accompany the curves of the shapes within the head silhouette. For the design of the app, the goal was to create something that looked contemporary and bold, but was also user friendly and allowed the user to easily access their playlists. I added blob shapes for creative flare, but kept the placement of the buttons and navigation elements straightforward so the app would be easy to navigate.
