NOTES
All fees are a flat rate.
Edits beyond the allotted two are $25.00 per edit on the cover or package phase.
The “layout only” fees are for when the client is providing a finished cover design.
A fee of $50.00 may be applied for photo editing at the discretion of the designer.
Before we start, I'll need the following from you in a google or dropbox folder:
the specific CD/LP/cassette TEMPLATES (package, disc, LP labels, etc.) from wherever you are doing the printing. Most print companies have these as downloads directly on their websites. You will need to decide on a print company before we start.
all TEXT, pre-edited and organized per panel (front/back cover, inside left/right, etc) in a single google or word doc. This includes, title, artist, track listings, track times, album credits, liner notes, thank-yous, and publishing & copyright information. Make sure to check for any typos or errors before you send it to me. This will potentially save us valuable time on the back end in edits.
any PHOTOS or IMAGES you would like used, in as high a resolution as you can get. Keep in mind, a digital album cover needs to be a minimum of 3000x3000 pixels square, so even photos that are medium resolution might wind up pixelated at the necessary size.
any REFERENCES to other records you dig as far as color scheme, typography, or general vibe. This is not required, but can sometimes help me reach your vision. You can even say, “I'd like it to be Bluenote-y or ECM-y.” : )
Odds & Ends (other important info I'll need):
Do you have a DEADLINE? I often have a “wait list” that fluctuates so it helps me judge if I will be able to take on the project or not.
Is your record being released on a LABEL? If so, I will need the label logos, catalogue #s, specific copyright information, and barcode.
Will you be needing other PRESS items? Single cover designs? Release poster, social media/marketing materials, etc. If you do, that can be something I can help you with.
