Album cover design
Art that holds up from a thumbnail to a gatefold.
For independent artists, bands, labels and podcasters who need cover art that stops the scroll at 3000×3000 pixels and still looks considered blown up across a 12-inch gatefold. One design, built to survive every size and format it'll actually be seen in.
- Packages from $290
- Delivered in 5–10 business days
- No rights or royalties taken
Three kinds of release we design for.
You're releasing a single or an EP.
Independent artist or band — you need art that looks right the moment it lands on a streaming thumbnail next to everyone else's.
You run a label with more than one release.
Every cover needs to work on its own and still feel like it belongs to the same roster.
You host a podcast that needs to look the part.
Cover art that has to read clearly as a tiny square across a dozen different apps and directories.
Everything a release needs, not just a square image.
- A short call about the music, the mood, and references you already like
- Concepts shown at streaming thumbnail size and full scale, side by side
- Revision rounds until it's right (see packages)
- Files sized correctly for every store and streaming platform
- Print-ready files for CD, vinyl and cassette runs
- No rights or royalties taken — the art is yours outright
- Consistent style held across singles, an EP or a full release
- Direct access to the designer working on it

Brief
The music, the mood, and references you like and don't. We listen to the tracks before sketching anything.
Concepts
Two or three directions, shown at thumbnail size and full scale side by side, so you can judge them the way listeners will see them.
Refine
You pick a direction; we refine it through your revision rounds — colour, type, composition.
Deliver
Every file sized for streaming, print and social, ready before your release date.
One design, sized correctly everywhere it's seen.
Digital
- Built at 3000×3000 for streaming platforms
- Checked for legibility as a small thumbnail, not just at full size
- Still holds up as a full-screen "now playing" image
Physical
- Jewel case dimensions and spine text handled for CD runs
- Digipak panel layout, built to the printer's template
- Vinyl sleeve artwork, including gatefold spreads where the format calls for one
The same standard, built for a different job.
Podcast cover art lives almost entirely as a small square icon, sitting next to dozens of other shows in a directory. It has to read at a glance, hold up in black and white, and still look right cropped into a circle on some players. We design it as its own brief — fewer competing elements than an album cover, one clear focal point, and text sized to survive being shrunk to app-icon size.
Every file, sized for how it'll be heard and seen.
