As a DJ, don’t you hate it when you sell your own mixtape, but nobody buys it because of the ugly cover? Chances are that you probably designed the cover yourself. You did some research online, followed a couple articles and watch video tutorials on how to design – thinking that you will be an overnight expert graphic designer and Photoshop guru. You give your all in making this Jamaican themed cover design. But all those who see your finished product give you comments like ‘This is not Jamaican’ or ‘Your design looks like crap.’
I once recorded a mixtape of my own thinking that it will sell like hot cakes considering all the exclusives and guest freestyles that I had on it. The music was dope and my friends loved it and so did everyone who listened to it. But in order to save money I decided to design the mixtape cover myself. This was the biggest mistake that I made. The tape sold poorly and the poor cover design was to blame. This was when I decided to have a professional design my cover.
I researched online about which designer I should hire and numerous articles and reviews recommended that I visit sample mix tape designs. I was very impressed when I saw samples of other people’s work and excited to have my cover designed by them. Getting a hot and stylish mix tape cover was easier than I thought.
The prices were also very affordable: US$45 for a front cover design and US$65 for both front and back cover designs. The sales you will make from a mixtape with good music and an attractive cover will more than compensate for the money you’ll be spending on design expenses. So why waste time and spend hundreds of dollars on graphic design lessons when you can get the job done correct and immediately.
Remember, If you want to sell more mixtapes you should have a professional do your mixtape cover design.
