Tips before you design
- Covers are shown as small squares on streaming apps. Test the artist name at 100px.
- Keep only the artist name and title on the cover. Put credits in the description.
- If the name has letters like ɛ or ɔ, check font support in the Twi font checker.
- Adinkra shapes carry meaning. Learn what a symbol means before you use it in a design.
