In today’s digital world, every music label, creator, and brand needs a strong visual identity – something that grabs attention, stands out, and connects emotionally.
At i Moody Presents, we specialize in creating album artworks, thumbnails, posters, and cover designs for music labels – visuals that capture the vibe and emotion of each song.
But if you want to start doing creative work in graphic design, the big question is – where should you begin and what should you learn?
-
Understand the Creative Mindset
Graphic design isn’t just about using software – it’s about thinking creatively.
Every design should tell a story and express an emotion.
When designing an album cover or artwork, first ask yourself:
- What’s the mood of the song? (romantic, sad, energetic, folk, etc.)
- Which color palette best reflects that mood?
- What kind of font or texture supports the emotion?
When your visuals align with the emotion, your artwork becomes unforgettable.
-
Improve Your Observation Power
A great designer is a great observer.
Spend time every day exploring platforms like Instagram, Behance, Pinterest, and Dribbble.
Study what makes each design stand out:
- Composition
- Lighting
- Typography
- Simplicity or minimalism
Over time, your brain starts recognizing design patterns – and that’s when your creativity really grows.
-
Learn the Right Tools
These are the most essential tools for graphic designers:
- Adobe Photoshop – for photo editing and composition
- Adobe Illustrator – for vector and logo design
- Canva or Figma – for quick layouts and mockups
Start small – learn the basics and then experiment on real projects.
At i Moody Presents, we keep experimenting with new styles on every artwork to keep our creativity fresh and evolving.
-
Art + Emotion = Perfect Design
An artwork stands out only when it emotionally connects with the audience.
For example, if the track is a sad love song, don’t just make it dark – make it feel painful yet beautiful.
Use lighting, blur, shadows, and visual depth to bring emotion into the design.
Remember: people don’t remember colors or fonts – they remember feelings.
-
Balance Trends and Originality
Trends change every season, but originality never fades.
Use trending fonts or color palettes if needed – but add your own flavor.
That’s what separates i Moody Presents from the crowd – we blend trend with uniqueness in every artwork.
-
Practice – The Oxygen of Creativity
Design something every single day – a poster, a lyric quote, or a sample album cover.
Creativity is like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
And yes, get inspired, but never copy. Always add your personal touch – your identity.
“If you truly want to do creative work in graphic design, focus not just on tools - but on creative thinking. Every design should have a vibe, a meaning, and an emotion. That’s how your work will rise above the ordinary. “Design isn’t made to be seen - it’s made to be felt.”.”
