January Playlist

Cover design for January playlist.

I’ve been thinking of ways to drive inspiration and increase my creativity levels. So I’ve decided to challenge myself this year to create one playlist (with customized artwork, of course), comprised of completely new (to me, anyway) songs, for each month of the year.


Add to this, that I consistently found that this year I grew tired of the music I was listening to and would just end up working in silence because I could not be bothered to make a thoughtful decision. 


My hopes in accomplishing these goals involve keeping up with a schedule, staying informed of new music releases and, all the while, sourcing inspiration of various methods that are not solely rooted in design or photography. 


So here it is, the first of 12 monthly curated playlists for 2020.
