Good CD Cover Sells More

The first time you launch a CD with your band, you'll want to show your music to the world especially to those who haven't listened. How you attract these people to actually want to listen is by creating a killer CD cover, as a good first impression. Although there's no right or wrong regarding to artwork, here are some basic guidelines when developing your CD cover.

- Catch the customers' eyes. In other words, think about appealing color combinations. A little bit of insiders' fact: reds and yellows tend to draw the most immediate attention. Not your favorite colors? No worries, there are plenty of other ways to make your CD cover eye-catching. As long as the colors reflect the tone, mood and genre of your music, you'll be fine.

- Make it readable. The common mistake of every ‘design' is that sometimes artists put a little too much ‘art' and ignore the functionality of their design. Same goes with CD covers. Ask yourself when you see the sketch: is the text clearly visible against the backdrop? Is the font readable enough? Avoid color combos that could affect people with varying degrees of color blindness (e.g., red/green, red/blue combo)

- Simple designs work best. By simple, we meant structured and uncluttered. Your artwork will appear on a small square and if it conflicts with your text, doomsday is coming. Squeezing too much into a small space will just leave your artwork look messy. Keep the text only to the basic necessary information, both front and back.

- Make it look professional. The key to making a graphic work professional-looking is to use high-resolution colors and images, because they will stand out better on a small square. If you decide to use photos, make sure they have high-resolution. Make sure that the company duplicating your CDs is capable of doing quality printing of the cover as well as the CD. Covers looking blurred or messily photocopied will not help your CD to sell.

The thing about developing your CD cover is don't hesitate to hire a professional to do it right. Because like we stated above, the cover is the first impression to your fans, and could possibly be the determining factor of your band's future.
