Especially when it comes to creating album cover art. Album artwork may even be as important as the music. After all, before a single note is head, your album cover design says so much about the music. That&#8217;s why professional artists often hire a team to work on their album cover. But what if we told you that you could achieve similar results using nothing but your phone?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yup. It&#8217;s possible. And let&#8217;s be honest, if you&#8217;re a musician on a budget, it makes sense to create your own artwork. Plus it means you get to keep full creative control. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re here to help you do that with the minimum of fuss. Editing your own album cover might sound like a complicated task, but the process is quick and actually really fun. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_Do_You_Need_To_Make_Your_Own_Album_Cover\">What Do You Need To Make Your Own Album Cover?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to make your own album cover you\u2019ll need to:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Establish the genre of the album. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">2. Research album covers of similar artists or bands for inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Choose an image for the album cover and upload it into a photo editing app such as <\/span><a style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/picsart.app.link\/4pv7HdD7S9\">Picsart.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Crop the image into a square. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">5. Enhance the image using filters and stickers to give it a one-of-a-kind look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">6. Pick a font, and add the title of the album and the band name or artist to the image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">7. Save the image and you\u2019re all set.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process mostly relies on your creativity and inspiration. Album covers greatly vary from genre to genre and artist to artist. You don\u2019t have to follow specific guidelines for each genre, but it\u2019s always good to know the basics before starting the creative process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"link pa-embeded-image\" href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/i\/image-everything-350471749042201\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn130.picsart.com\/350471749042201.jpg\" alt=\"Everything can be turned into an album cover \ud83d\udcbf Edit by @hello_its_akari#album #albumcover #cover #record #cd #freetoedit \" width=\"428px\" height=\"428px\" data-id=\"350471749042201\" data-size=\"medium\" data-head=\"0\" data-foot=\"0\" \/>via Picsart<\/a> <script async=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.3.4\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_Do_You_Make_Hip-Hop_Album_Cover_Art\">How Do You Make Hip-Hop Album Cover Art?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to hip-hop albums there are a few popular types of album cover art. While you\u2019ll often encounter outliers, more often than not most hip-hop album covers share similar elements.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One common theme in hip-hop album covers is using a photo of the artist. From Drake\u2019s Scorpion to Cardi B\u2019s Invasion of Privacy, hip-hop artists usually work themselves into their covers. Sometimes, they include throwback photos from their childhood to create a vintage vibe.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another popular hip-hop album cover trope is text-focused album covers. A great example of this is Kanye West\u2019s album The Life of Pablo These types of albums are great if you\u2019re looking for a more artsy approach.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With these basics in mind, creating your own hip-hop album cover art just got a lot easier, right? You can either recreate these famous albums or simply take inspiration from them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"link pa-embeded-image\" href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/i\/image-342349479011203?edit_history=1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn141.picsart.com\/341054117064203.jpg\" alt=\"#freetoedit #pixel #pixelart #pixelperfect #font #text #albumcoverart #albumcover \" width=\"389\" height=\"389\" data-id=\"342349479011203\" data-size=\"medium\" data-head=\"1\" data-foot=\"1\" \/>via Picsart<\/a> <script async=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.3.4\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_Do_You_Make_a_Mixtape_Album_Cover_Art\">How Do You Make a Mixtape Album Cover Art?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When making mixtape album cover art, you can follow the same steps as you would use when designing a regular album cover. Mixtapes are basically old-school versions of playlists. The key difference is that mixtapes are usually recorded onto a physical medium such as a CD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main thing to keep in mind when designing a mixtape cover art is the overall theme. Once you have the theme figured out and you\u2019ve found your inspiration for the cover art, the process is quick and simple. Going for a more neutral or bohemian edit? Use minimal filters and add some text or a cool frame sticker. Fancy something a little modern or futuristic? Try <a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/blog\/post\/glitch-artwork\">glitch effects<\/a>.
