Custom Fun Cartoon Podcast Cover Art
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I’m launching a character-driven podcast series and need a single, eye-catching cover image that get's people's attention. It would be playful and fun, featuring 3 - 4 characters sitting down on a sofa reacting to themselves on TV as its a YouTube channel with the show's name in a digital style design above. Another idea is we have a split screen with each of the characters in each of their locations. One would be happy, one would be sad and one would be dancing etc. I have attached an example from Pixar as a reference, but the style would be more 2D.
No AI please, just original content.
• Format: square, at least 3000 × 3000 px so it meets Apple Podcasts and Spotify specs
• Colour: bright, inviting palette that still reads clearly when scaled down to thumbnail size
• Files: layered PSD or AI plus a high-resolution PNG (transparent background if possible)
Acceptance criteria
Podcast title is legible at both full size and thumbnail.
Background complements the character without overcrowding the composition.
Final files delivered in the formats above, layers neatly organised and labelled.
If this matches your skill set and you enjoy creating lively, cartoon-style illustrations, I’d love to see a quick sketch or portfolio sample that shows you can nail the tone. Let’s make a cover that pops off the screen and pulls listeners in from the very first glance!
