Make album art for a song
Describe the feeling of your song and a visual specialist creates album art to match. Pick a square shape and a look, iterate on colour and type until it captures the mood, and download cover art sized right for the streaming platforms.
Music travels with a picture. Give your track cover art that matches its mood and is ready for the platforms.
