What are some album cover design tips?

The album cover is a crucial part of your branding. It sets the tone of your music or style and most importantly it may make or break the success of your music promotion and distribution. To help you design a good and effective album cover, here are some album cover design tips for you.

Do not make an album cover from your own perspective. Keep in mind the audience, genre, and mood of the music.
Use imagery, font, and colors that match your music and brand aesthetic.
Use only one or two typefaces for tex, and make the text placement easy.
Don’t overcrowd your album cover design. Look at some of the most memorable, iconic album covers. Many of them are simple and minimalist- sometimes less is more.
Include only the vital information on your album cover. You can include the album name and band, but don’t put your lyrics, or social media handles on the cover.

What should I put on my album cover?

The album cover is the packaging for your album, which will influence your audience's first impressions of your music. Generally, an album cover includes the artist's name, the album name, an eye-catching image, and even your logo.

What goes on the back of an album cover?

The back cover of an album should include the track list, the people who participated in the music production, band members, guest performers, designers, the manufacturer, and other relevant information.
