It’s a frequent question i get asked, so lets break it down.
Let’s start explaining how I based my rates. And is a simple equation..
More details = More work time
More work time = More cost
Time to talk about my Cover Art packages
I have 5 type of cover arts and they are divided on 2 sections
1.- Cover Art with original static pictures
2.- Cover Art with photo manipulation
Original static pictures
Basically I use the pictures exactly how they are originally taken with camera or smartphone without modifications (includes photo retouch, color rectification, etc).
Photo manipulation
We manipulate various pictures to make scenes from scratch. This mean we cut parts from different photos and blend them as one. For example we can make someone that is just standing on front on a camera, do something different by using, moving or replacing body parts as head, arms, legs, and/or adding more stuff like clothes, guns, jewelry, etc. In short, we can make a picture do something else than the original picture is doing and we apply the same method to their environment to make it works and get a good blending.
Cover arts with original static pictures
Basic:
This is my lower cost cover art and is the less detailed. Is up to 2 artist with photo retouch, basic background (just few elements on the background), text with FXs and color filters.
Premium:
This cover art is an intermediate between Basic and Supreme. Is up to 3 artist pictures with photo retouch, text with FXs, color filters and semi custom background. This means we can modify a little the background by cutting or adding custom stuff to its environment.
Supreme:
This one is the full detailed cover art with original static pictures. Is up to 5 artists with photo retouch and full custom backgrounds this means that everything on the background is created from scratch. We can create scenes like war fields, inside buildings, complete neighborhoods, space scenes, everything customizable, with original static pictures but, I introduce something i called “Semi Photo Manipulation” on this package, this means that we can modify certain aspects of the original picture for example: change clothes colors, or add jewelry or face/head wear.
COVER ARTs with Photo Manipulation
Movie Collage:
It’s a square type of movie poster collage cover art with different pictures and different scenes all integrated on the same cover art. This one could works perfect if you have multiple artists featurings on the same project, either be a single or a full album.
Concept Cover Art:
Concept cover art is full photo manipulation cover art, we take care of every detail on it, we create a whole custom scene. So basically we can disarm original pictures and re arm them doing different things by cutting and adding new parts on them. We can do from a picnic to a bank robbery to a space trip visiting new planets everything that came to your mind and all using photo manipulation.
So, basically this is a quick guide of my cover arts. I hope it helps you to decide which cover art you need, but in case you still need me to help you, contact me, let me know your ideas and we can check it out. This has no cost!
