Keep Track of the Streaming Revenue You Generate
Tracks is a capstone project born from a passion for music and gratitude for those who create it. For many, music is playing a significant role in navigating the tumultuous emotional and psychological challenges of the pandemic. Unfortunately artist compensation does not reflect this reality. Tracks brings users closer to the financial situation of their favourite artists and provides them with alternative methods of supporting them. The final product is a music player app that sits on your desktop and keeps track of your music listening activity through Spotify to keep you up to date with the economic impact of your listening.
Discover New Ways to Support Musicians
The artists section of the app displays contextual statistics, such as the user’s most streamed artists and those they have listened to most recently. In this section, the user is able to explore how much streaming revenue they have generated for each artist over a variety of time periods, ranging from a single day to an entire year. This section also promotes other methods of supporting these artists, whether that be linking their merchandise store or upcoming concert tickets.
See Where The Money Really Goes
The overview section generates a more general rundown of streaming statistics based on the user’s activity. It takes the user through an informational narrative, highlighting the revenue generated for specific artists within the context of the user’s overall listening activity and within the greater ecosystem of Spotify itself.
A Promotional Campaign For Music Lovers
A promotional campaign was designed to encourage those who have a passion for music to use the app. This primarily consisted of promotional pamphlets that can be included as an insert for both vinyl records and CDs and a series of promotional posters. The campaign was designed for the context of a record/CD store in order to reach an audience that really cares about music and those who create it.
