Hey guys,
I have a couple questions I'm hoping somebody can help me out with. I'm purchasing album art from a graphic designer and they wanted to know what specifications I want (size, format, resolution, color mode).
I'm going to use the art for a couple different things so I'm assuming that I'll need several versions of the image. Would 3 versions work? Here's what I'm thinking.
#1 - digital distribution (bandcamp, soundcloud, spotify, apple music, etc.)
I'd guess that I would want it to be a RGB color PNG file. What size and resolution though? (high quality, but not so high I would have trouble uploading it)
#2 - physical distribution (probably cd's with a slight chance of vinyl down the road)
Would I need two separate sizes for vinyl & cd? I figure this should be a CMYK PNG file. Once again, what size(s) and resolution would you recommend?
#3 - posters
A little more straightforward (I think), planning on 11x11 CMYK PNG file. What resolution should I go with?
Thanks!
