How to design and promote your new album cover<\/h1>\n\n\n

Many people think it\u2019s not important to judge an album by its cover. Because what matters is not the outside, but the music on the inside. However, the outside image, which is the visual cover, should attract the attention of new listeners, even inspire them, and give a representation of what the album contains on the inside. For this reason, it\u2019s important to take good care of the cover of your album, because it\u2019s the cover that reflects the identity of your musical image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music conveys emotions. We all have our favourite track that gives us chill, one that inspires us with the joy of life, etc. And you? How do you want your audience to feel when listening to your album?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A final exercise in defining your identity is to explain in a few words what you do and what your music sounds like. This is one of the important steps that reflect your musical identity through your album cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create a unique graphic composition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have defined your identity and know who you are talking to, the stage of designing your album cover art will be easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
