Sometimes nothing describes a moment better than the perfect song.
So we created a party game for Spotify, “Pass the Aux,” where players compete to find the song that best fits the moment.
The Game
Situation Cards
Each round, a new situation card is drawn and presented by the "DJ".

Music Cards
Players lay down a song card from their hand that they think fits the moment and the DJ picks the winning song.

The Design Challenge
There are over 600 cards in total. In order to account for that number and the time it would take to create all of them, I developed a design system based around 10 template designs. These templates consisted of simple shapes that, depending on color, blending modes, and placement, could look vastly different for each album art pairing.
