THE BRIEF

Create a new interpretation to Shazam, inspired by a personality.

I chose Benny Blanco, a jewish american record producer, I used Blanco's colorful fashion style, alongside his philosophy to creating music with vocalists.

benny blanco

Benny Blanco is a jewish american record producer, one of the best producers in the world, until his 20's, he produced 29 songs that went on to become 1st place in the charts, only a few producers besides Blanco achieved that at this age.

Blanco believes that true creativity comes for enjoyment, authenticity and not being afraid to fail from time to time. His humane approach to music and producing has led him to be happy, authentic and loved in the entertainment industry

concept

from: "Behind The Wall", a podcast hosted by Daniel Wall

LINK TO THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE

38:59 - Blanco talks about the first session with a new artist

50:03 - Blanco talks about why food matters

The idea is to create a Shazam that can identify both songs and food recipes. From those two clips, I came to understand that the food plays a huge role in Blanco's process, therefore should be a main feature in my app aswell.

In addition, there's a twist in the identifying system. When trying to identify a song/recipe, you get a fitting option from the other feature, to resemble the concept that Blanco goes with, which is that food and music goes hand in hand.

Plus Jakarta Sans

WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND THE DECISION?

Plus Jakarta Sans is a geometrical font where sharp lines are softened by subtle curves. These shape resemble the app’s core visual patterns. As a result, the typography never competes for the user's attention, but rather works in harmony to seamlessly complement the overall interface.

WHY THESE COLORS?

Inspired by Blanco’s iconic style and vibrant personality, the app features a vibrant, maximalist color system.
To keep the interface feeling fresh and engaging, these bright colors are dynamically paired together on screen during every song or recipe identification.
