With the growing popularity of streaming services, such as Spotify, Apple Music and many more, the demand for digital cover art is larger than ever. But while some cover artwork designers struggle, others create extremely effective design and win long term clients this way. In this course, we are taking a look at what I’ve learned in 12 years of working in the music industry as a 3D designer. We will start by exploring the branding psychology behind effective designs and ways to create your own composition by using grid systems. We’ll also explore texturing inside Cinema 4D and the techniques of creating different moods. We’ll have a close look at the rendering process and in the final part, we will focus on the compositing on our scene that will enhance our render even further.
