Vintage Cartoon Cover Art
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m preparing to release a new single and need a standout cover image that captures attention on every streaming platform. The visual direction is clear: a vintage cartoon-animation vibe—think classic hand-drawn cells with a touch of grain and muted color washes—but the overall feeling should be one of sudden shock or surprise, as if the characters have just witnessed something unbelievable. Eyes popping out of the head.
Here’s what I’m after:
• Illustrative graphics in that retro cartoon style (no photos of the artist).
• The song title prominently worked into the artwork. Creative, readable lettering that fits the era is a must.
• A square layout (min 3000 × 3000 px) suitable for Spotify, Apple Music, and social teasers.
• Layered source file (PSD or AI) along with the final flattened PNG/JPEG.
• Two or three initial concept sketches, one selected for refinement, then up to three rounds of tweaks so we nail the color palette, line weight, and shocked facial expressions.
If you’re comfortable drawing expressive characters, love vintage animation, and can manage type that feels era-authentic, I’d love to see previous examples or a quick note on your approach. Looking forward to collaborating!
