DESIGN FOR SPOTIFY

As the core of the FMP project is to design a system for Spotify that helps enhance the users' music sharing experience, it is important to analyze the Spotify brand, design philosophy, and design language. This section serves as an overview of the Spotify brand analysis, which will be examined in more depth when the project begins next semester.

5.1 SPOTIFY'S DESIGN LANGUAGE

Visually, Spotify has created the Spotify for Developers platform and provides developers with a set of Design Guidelines that provide design specifications for logos, colours, fonts, and other content.

5.2 SPOTIFY'S MUSIC SOCIALIZATION EXPLORATIONS

-NEW WAYS TO SHARE MUSIC THROUGH SPOTIFY

Through social media platforms - Except from copy link, there are other ways...

Spotify is an international music streaming service launched in 2008 and based in Stockholm, Sweden. It was founded with the intention of helping to solve the problem of music piracy through streaming technology. So far, Spotify has grown into an audio first company and has become the most popular audio streaming subscription service throughout the world. The official mission of Spotify is“to unlock the potential of human creativity—by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it.[7]”

With the development of Spotify's streaming platform and the associated growth of their business, their design team introduced new design guidelines in 2020: Relevant, Human and Unified, in anticipation of consistently high design quality in the rich and diverse music experiences they create [8].
