Music Album Art Competition

Music isn't just about the music. Of course, the sounds are surely the most fundamental component, yet you can't overlook the job of cover art in making a splendid collection. From the gatefolds of the vinyl time to pull-out liner notes in CD gem cases to the little icon on a computerized player, album art has changed throughout these years, yet it actually characterizes how we look at a collection. Photographic portraits, paintings, collages -- all to scratch, album art doesn’t have rigid rules, hence creativity flourishes.

Well, how to create album art?

  • Listen to the song & understand the kind of feelings it evokes, the story it tries to tell.

  • Look at what other album arts look like. You could even refer to old vinyl covers!

  • Try to incorporate a concept into your album art / Try to narrate a story inside that frame.

  • Add elements that compliment or enhance the mood/concept/narrative.

Cover art is as unique as your fingerprint, put your best finger forward!
