How do you make complex, data-driven processes feel simple, engaging, and fun? For Spotify, we leaned into imaginative 2D design and animation to bring the inner workings of its playlist ecosystem to life. Through a playful visual world, we broke down how songs, artists, and playlists connect, transforming a complex system into an accessible, colorful story about how Spotify helps musicians reach new audiences.
