“Trail Mix” is a folk / rock / indie playlist inspired by hiking, campfire circles, winding mountain roads, and time spent in nature with friends. My final design
captures the playful, yet peaceful mood of the playlist while introducing a visual story that leaves room for mystery. The title, a play on words, clearly communicates the theme of the playlist while the illustrative style and colors balance out the composition. The smoking moon, sailing frog, and spilling teacup introduce a storyline that feels intriguingly open-ended and sparks interest in viewers.
