Get FREE Graphic Designs For Your Single, Album Or Mixtape!

March 24, 2010

If you can’t design your own art but don’t have the money to pay for someone to design for you, don’t worry, there is still hope. One way of getting free graphic design is to ask any designer friends you may have to do you some. Depending on your relationship with them, they may do you a one off piece, or a whole series of free graphic design for your project.

If however you don’t know any designers, you can always find some online. There are many up and coming designers who would be willing to do free graphic design for you in exchange for getting their work seen. These designers can be found of forums, social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, and via search engines.

When you approach someone to do you free design work, always make clear the benefit of them helping you with your project (Their work will be seen in shops, you will be digitally distributing the product to thousands of people, or whatever the case). DON’T however over hype how far you’ll be pushing your project, if you do and you fail to deliver, most likely you won’t be getting help from that designer again. It is often best to be honest (Even if you aren’t expecting to get your project that far) and let the designer make their own mind up about whether or not they’ll do free graphic design for you. If they like you and need to build up their portfolio, there’s still a good chance they’ll work with you.

One downside of getting free graphic design though is you can’t get everything your way. Some of these up-and-coming designers won’t have all the skills and knowledge a professional graphic designer will have, so may not be able to do everything you want. If this is the case you also won’t be able to complain that much as you’re not paying them for their services. Also as they’re not being paid, some graphic designers will work a lot slower and not to a set time line, as they may be focusing more on paid work or other non related priorities. Having said that, there are some very talented up and coming designers out there and it’s worth trying to get free graphic design from these up and coming designers.

Getting A Graphic Designer To Design Your Music Artwork

Another option is to pay a graphic designer to do your artwork for you. If you choose to get a graphic designer, make sure you look for graphic designer who would be suitable for your project (As in has experience doing the type of design you want). Make sure you look at their previous graphic design work, discuss what you want from them, and see if this graphic designer will be able to achieve what you want.

There are many graphic designers that are willing to design your project for a fee, from the big design companies to the freelancers. I’d recommend using the second type of graphic designer, reason being they are cheaper and can often get the job done just as well. Many also do graphic design for a specific target market (EG for a niche type of music), so may actually have the edge over a bigger company as they can relate to your needs better.

Designing Artwork For My Mixtape, Single Or Album

One way to get art for your project is to do it yourself. This however is not recommended if you don’t have any previous knowledge in this field and / or don’t know how to use a graphics design program such as Photoshop (Or free graphic design software such as GimPhoto).

If you do however, this is the cheapest way to go about it and potentially the best, as you will have full creative control. You can try out as many ideas as you want and tweak it till you get it just right.

Using free graphic design software can well will of course help keep down costs, as programs such as GimPhoto and Paint.net can be downloaded and used for free. While Adobe Photoshop it more expensive, it’s currently seen as the best graphic design software around.

Having said that, if you don’t know how to use graphic design software and aren’t willing to put the time in to learn, there’s not much point even if you can get free graphic design software. In that case it’d be better to use a graphic designer.
