April Comes She Will

This month’s edition of Five Finds combines some music recommendations and integrated AI, a clever campaign and a disgusting sounding recipe. Variety is the spice of life after all!

In studio news, I’m celebrating 7 years of running Lark and I can’t quite believe it. There’s a quick write up and collection of studio work completed over the last year over on the website. Thanks as always to our brilliant clients, creative network, family, friends and to you for following along.

I’m off to make a prompt playlist entitled ‘the custard cream companion’. Wish me luck.

Digital Dieter

Drams is an online component library created as a celebration of the principles and design aesthetic of legendary industrial designer Dieter Rams. It’s a pleasing playground of digital components that react to interaction.

Good Day

Nils Frahm has unexpectedly shared a new collection of solo piano music. The album is a journey back to the stripped back music that started his career and perfect for the rainy evenings we’ve been having here.

 

‘Why Jenny, why?’

A recipe book from a beloved grandmother, tuna, jelly and the surely evil ‘Jenny E’. Hilarity ensues.

Prompt playlists

Whether it’s to rewrite social media posts, tweak photoshop files or co-pilot your coding, AI has started to be imbedded into our everyday. Not one to be left behind, Spotify recently integrated a ‘prompt to playlist’ feature allowing users to create a custom playlist based on just a couple of words.

Time flies

Lark just turned seven and in 2023 we worked with some of our biggest clients yet. Now that the smoke from the candles has cleared and the cake has been cut, we’ve taken a look back at the work completed over the last year.
