Album Cover Design NEW

What will I get with my album cover art?

Everything you need to move to production. Your album cover art will be uploaded in the correct formats based on your stated needs. Typically this means a production-ready Adobe Illustrator file, Adobe Photoshop file, PDF file or EPS file. Plus, you'll get the full legal copyright, so the design will be all yours.

Can I use images in my design?

Yes. If you have any specific images (like a logo or a band photo) that need to be included with your album art, please submit them to designers with your brief.

Unless you request otherwise, your designer may also use stock images (purchased from a third party) in your design. If a designer uses stock art in a design, they'll tell you which images they are and use watermarked versions of them in their entries. Once you choose the winning design, you'll need to purchase the stock art and provide it to the winning designer so they can complete the design.

Which package should I choose for my custom album cover contest?

We guarantee that you'll get great album cover art at any pricing level, but our higher-priced packages give you more design options and better support.

Here's how it works: When you pay more, the prize for the winning designer is bigger, too. More experienced designers participate in your contest, so you get more high-quality designs to choose from. More options means additional time that's needed to review your designs. That's why our Gold and Platinum packages offer dedicated managers to help streamline that process by writing creative briefs and giving your designers feedback.

When selecting your album art contest package, think about how much time you'll have and what experience you have writing briefs and working with designers. If you're still unsure, contact us for a design consultation.

What if I have more than one album or need additional sizes?

Your custom album cover contest includes one winning album cover. If, for example, you need a second cover or an additional size for a CD or vinyl cover, you have a few options: you can award multiple winners, run a second contest or you can start a 1-to-1 Project with your winning designer to create the additional assets.
