Playlist artwork

20+ years of visualising playlists

In 2005 I decided to compile a list of my favourite songs of the year. Little did I know I’d probably keep this up for the rest of my life. But after a few years of just having playlists saved on CDs, I was a fairly early adopter of streaming services, and so I wanted playlist artwork. Here are some of the patterns, layouts and logos I’ve made over the years.
