Here's album art for my upcoming EP/Album (Haven't decided yet)


It's just a picture of my childhood home I pulled off of Zillow and added some shitty effect to.

There's not much to it friendo.

I know. Like my music.

I would probably pay someone to make album art for me if I truly cared about music but I don't.
It's literally just a few layers of me playing random chords on a guitar for 2-30 minutes.

>>68570836>>68570733

I think it's pretty cool, i'd probably buy it.
fucking philistine cunts

I lied. It was recorded in my bedroom.

use a picture of something incredibly vague, put some filters on it, make it square and you're done

>>68570733
Idk nothing wrong with the subject even if it's a bit overdone (picture of a dumpy suburban house is emo 101) but w/e filters you have on it aren't doing you favors. You really should look into getting a graphic design friend to do something good for cheap even if you claim not to care about what you're doing like you said here >>68570863. Don't sabotage your own hobby shit with this self-defeating attitude that's seriously pointless

1. Buy cheap point and shoot camera (around $200)
2. Take a bunch of pictures of random shit
3. Crop to square (most important part)
4. Sprinkle some noise on that shit
5. (Optional) Throw your creds in the corner in Helvetica or whatever generic font you can find. Avoid using some garbage edgemaster font cause it will always look like shit.
6. Add a photo filter (in Photostop: Image > Adjustments > Photo Filter)

voila, bullshit!

Distort your image and bam. Great hip hop album cover

It could be literally anything man. Avoid patterned designs unless they somehow fit the aesthetic of the album, like MPP or something.

Don't try to make a meme album cover. It might get your music more views for a short time, but if the album isn't as much of a hook that the album art is, listeners will feel like they were tricked into listening to a mediocre album.

>>68574078

Go to your phones camera, change it to 1:1 so it's a perfect square instead of a rectangle, and just take a cool looking picture. Literally that easy

I literally make album covers for fun, and these covers will probably never be used for any project, but I still save them. I think the album cover should be somewhat mysterious and thought provoking, that way it is interesting to the listener, and the connection of the art to the album's theme is understood easily.
