Spotify Sourced
-
The inspiration was drawn from experiences with book clubs. Book clubs are never really as fulfilling as you’d like them to be. Although it is nice to discuss thoughts with fellow readers; all you really want is your questions answered. What better place to get them answered than straight from the source? No more wasting your time pondering plot holes and cliffhangers with your miserable neighbor down the street. It’s time to bring back the satisfaction to reading.

This is a new spotify feature that will allow readers the unique experience of having their comments & questions answered straight from the author themselves. Some of which include John Green, Margaret Atwood, Gillain Flynn and Neil Gaiman.

With Spotify Sourced you can submit any number of questions at the end of each chapter for the author to personally respond to. In addition to this, the author will also leave personal statements regarding the chapter at the end in case the reader had no questions at all. This one on one experience is unlike any other book club and is curated specifically for you as the reader.
App Mockup
I created a quick design based on the already present Spotify set up. Using adobe XD I was able to do so with help from the guidelines I had put in place from my research.
Print Ads
The ads were meant to showcase the feeling that Spotify Sourced will give listeners. That being the feeling of complete seclusion with you & the author. Which is why the image of someone alone in an auditorium with a panel of authors felt like the right direction to go in. The last print ad was inspired by previous Spotify ads. I wanted to stay somewhat consistent with their style in order to attract the same crowd they have had for years.
