Hi. I’m looking for someone willing to make an album cover for an album I’m currently recording. I will pay your going rate, of course. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Google Fiverr
That’s probably the most practical suggestion; thanks. I’ll turn to that if this post doesn’t get anywhere. I just wanted to ask the fediverse first, for a number of reasons.
Don’t trust fiverr
If fiverr had a trial functionality, (say to see if the producer is on the same page with you on the direction of the song) then maybe I would recommend that.
This ‘trial’ is artist-centered, not enforced by the platform; increasing chances for scam
I’ve seen gnarly ‘artistic’ services coming out of fiverr

Check out Sylvia Ritter, she makes nice album art too: https://www.sylvia-ritter.com/.
Awesome, thanks. I just checked out her website, and it looks great. Thanks for the link. I will definitely consider this as an option.
What kind of design/style and timeline did you have in mind?
As far as design/style, I have a few specific ideas in mind that I could easily explain to an artist, but I have no stringent requirements. I’m also very flexible on the timeline. This is a hobby project, so there are no deadlines or prerequisites.
I ask bc I’d be interested to take a crack at it, free of charge. It’s been a while though since I’ve done a commissioned piece and with life things it’d be a week or two at the earliest before I could get an initial draft to you, but if you’d like to share the details and have me put something up I can start this weekend
That sounds awesome, although I do want to insist on paying. Your labour is worth something. Can I DM you with the details?
Sounds great. Feel free to DM at your convenience. Re: pay, how about if you like it and choose to go with it you can donate whatever you feel is fair, otherwise no need since I don’t want you to pay for something you don’t end up going with. I make art for fun anyway so I’ll enjoy the process either way :)
Post that shit when you finish it!
Bet
What kind of music?
It’s mostly folky stuff, just acoustic guitar and vocals. Nothing too complex.
I used to do indie album covers, but I have no time now lol.
Do you have a simple concept in mind?
Edit: Keep looking. I may or may not help (prob not) but no charge if I do get the time and inspo in the coming weeks. May as well put it out there.
Can I DM you with the concept(s) I have in mind?
Go nuts for mutts (yes)
What did you have in mind? I could paint it in oils and ship it to you.
Can I DM you?
Yes
Valp has done some amazing stuff in the past. Might be on the pricier side, though.
Definitely some beautiful stuff there; thanks for the link. I’ll keep him in mind for it.
