Campaign

Concept

At Agency Republic, we have a shared stereo running Spotify in the office. Left to their own devices, 45 people can choose some pretty interesting tunes and once in a while, it can get too much.

So the Head of Design at Agency Republic came up with the Change the Tune poster.

Artefacts

Poster Design

You put the poster on your wall and connect it to your computer. Screw up a piece of paper, throw it at the poster, and it'll automatically skip to the next track.

The posters came in two designs, one developed for Spotify and one with a Change the Tune design.
