Spotify has introduced a “Create Cover Art” feature, enabling users to design custom collages for their playlists directly within the mobile app. The amount of creative freedom this unlocks for everyday music listeners is a step up from other streaming platforms. Luckily, this beta feature is available to both Free and Premium users.
Spotify Is Not Alone In Its Creative Pursuits
Spotify has partnered with different music artists such as Clairo, Jamie xx, and Arlo Parks. They have also teamed up with visual artist like Pablo Rochat, Jesse Nyberg, Vita Kari, and Elliot Ulm. To top things off, they are working with creative director Adrian Hernandez, the designer of Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti; and Cey Adams, who has designed musical assets for The Notorious B.I.G., Beastie Boys, and JAY-Z.
What Kind Of Art Can We Create With This New Feature
The “Create Cover Art” option offers a robust image editor with tools for layering, applying effects/stickers, and resizing images. This will give a custom look that not only represents the music it consists of but your signature style as well. Each time you make a new cover art for your playlist it will overwrite the previous one. So, be careful if you don’t want to lose your Spotify masterpiece. If you want to have different cover arts for the same playlist, duplicate the playlist before application. Let’s dive in on how to use this new feature.
- Open the Spotify app and navigate to your playlist.
- Tap the three-dot menu and select “Create cover art.”
- Use the provided tools to design your cover image.
- Save the image to update your playlist’s appearance.
Conclusion
Spotify’s introduction of this feature demonstrates a commitment to enhancing user experience through personalization. By integrating this tool, Spotify acknowledges the importance of visual aesthetics in music streaming, allowing users to create a more personalized and engaging interface. Stay tuned, there will be more updates on this new feature to come.
