FAQ
-
Why is an album cover important?
If you want your album to be successful, don’t be afraid to take risks. Be ready to spend a lot of time creating cover art, because it is the ultimate marketing tool. Listeners see the cover before they listen to the music. Later on, this design will be associated with songs from the album and convey a more sentimental meaning to fans. -
Where can one find inspiration for album covers?
We won’t surprise you by telling you to browse Instagram, Pinterest, and other major social media platforms. But we know one more place full of genius ideas — your brain! Inspiration comes from within. When designing a cover, try to use key concepts from the music first. If your inner album cover creator doesn’t have any ideas today, then no worries! Go to VistaCreate and discover hundreds of design ideas for any music album style. Use them for inspiration or pick a template you like and adjust it to your cover in a few clicks. -
How do I create an outstanding LP cover?
It’s not easy to stand out in a world full of ambitious and talented musicians. However, if you manage to create impressive cover art, it will be a bit easier. Learn the basics of well-balanced visuals and research the latest trends in graphic design. Study the market and look through the covers of other musicians. With all this information gathered and analyzed, it’s easier to visualize what cover will fit your music. Our editor offers professional templates for any genre and style. Just select the right one for your purpose and start customizing it. -
Can I create my own album cover template?
Sure! You can browse our free templates or make your design from scratch. Just pick a blank layout with pre-set dimensions and create an album cover that perfectly reflects your music. Upload your logo, colors, fonts, and images and use them in your album design. -
What should be included when designing album cover art?
