Fable Audio: Vertical audio bars of varying height forming the soft silhouette of a head in profile, with a halftone dot gradient fading behind it.

Brief

An audiobook service needed a launch that sounded as good as it looked, in eight weeks and without a studio shoot.

Idea

Render voices as halftone portraits that breathe with the narrator, and use the same engine for film, social and the player.

Build

Eight weeks with a creative coder, an animator and a sound designer in the same room.

Launch

One engine produced the site, the campaign film and the in-app player.

After

Listeners stayed to play with it, and the press picked it up without being asked.
