Fonts

Choose readable fonts

Don’t forget about the text and eye-catching fonts. They’re essential when it comes to creating your own CD cover or album art. The back cover is as important as the front one, and they have to match. Present the information about your album clearly and in style. Make sure the names of the tracks are readable.

FAQ

Why is 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 cover will be associated with songs from the album and convey more sentimental meaning to fans.
