Core Principles

Album Art is Visual Storytelling

The cover is the first thing people see. It should:

• Communicate the album's essence instantly
• Work at thumbnail size (streaming) and full size
• Be memorable and distinctive
• Complement (not compete with) the music

Less is More

Effective album art:

• Has clear focal point
• Avoids clutter
• Uses negative space
• Reads quickly

AI Art Requires Precision

Good prompts:

• Are specific but not over-constrained
• Use visual language, not musical concepts
• Guide composition and mood
• Iterate based on results
