Dream Pop Album Artwork

I’m releasing a dream-pop record that explores dementia—memories surfacing, then slipping away—and I need cover art that instantly sets the nostalgic tone of the music.

Mood & look
• Evoke nostalgia without feeling purely sad. Think tender, half-remembered moments.
• Work primarily with cool blues and greens; subtle shifts in hue are welcome, but these shades should dominate.
• Incorporate vintage photos in a creative way—soft collage, fading edges, or double exposure are all possibilities. I’m open to your spin as long as the images feel personal and timeless rather than stock-generic.

Scope
I’m aiming for a detailed, finished design suitable for digital stores and small-run vinyl or CD printing. No need for an elaborate multi-panel booklet; a strong front cover is the priority, plus an optional back layout if inspiration strikes.

Deliverables
• Front cover: 3000 × 3000 px, 300 DPI, RGB (PNG/JPG)
• Print-ready version: 12 × 12 in, 300 DPI, CMYK (PDF)
• Layered source file (PSD or AI) so I can tweak text or sizing later
• Simple mock-up preview on a record sleeve or streaming thumbnail

Process
Share one or two rough concepts first; after I pick a direction, refine it to the polished final. I’ll provide track titles and any extra reference images once we start.

If you have experience blending photography with subtle texturing, re-coloring vintage photos, or creating dream-like atmospheres, I’d love to see your portfolio samples.
