We are specialists in art guidelines for all major digital distributors.

Most digital platforms (Itunes, Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) have very specific artwork guidelines do not allow the following:

Website URL
Social network symbols or information (i.e., Facebook links, Twitter handles, etc).
Contact information (i.e., email addresses, phone number).
Pornographic images
Pricing information
Copyrighted images
Scan of a CD (it must be retail-ready artwork).
UPC barcodes
Tribute albums where the original artist name is as large as or larger than the performing artist
The cover art refers to physical or digital versions of the album (i.e., CD, Disc, Digital Exclusive, Digital Version, etc).
The cover image is blurry, pixilated, or has other quality issues.
The cover art promises content that the album doesn’t contain (i.e., “includes DVD”, “includes free stickers”, etc)
The cover art up-sells to another product (i.e., merch, other albums by the same artist, etc)
The cover art claims to be exclusive on a particular platform without their permission (i.e., iTunes™ Exclusive, Only on Amazon Music, etc).
Graphic depictions of violence or gore
The word “new” or any time-sensitive reference cannot be included.

It’s best to keep it clean and simple.
