4K for a record cover? Never happened. Not even 4K for Videoclip. Harsh times in the record industry. I would do it, but I have one rule, I don't accept briefings for small budgets so what I make is what you get.
Done for 1,5k. And this guy is famous in Belgian.
http://www.coffeeklatch.be/studiā¦- it costs 4k to record and mix a record in a well kitted out studio for 2 weeks with two engineers. 4k to press 500 copies and have them shipped from CZ...kingsteven
- then some guy with a hacked copy of Adobe CC comes along :-Dkingsteven
- My brother got as far as you can go in this field, consistently had one in the UK top 10 for a year... but you need to be at that level to make a living from itkingsteven
- otherwise your just scalping artistskingsteven
- And even than, the guy I made a clip for makes his money by being on The Voice as jury member, and does dubbing for movies in Dutch. Record industry is harsh.tank02

You should work for Bennn. He's getting double that for digipacks.soundofreason - Harsh time in the industry, so harsh time for graphic designers?Bennn
- Benn, I've been working for 15 years, and there is no money in music, nightlife & press. But i'm wiliing to do but because of the rule i said.tank02
- And i never choose this job for the money. Low budget mostly means more fun. Making now a newspaper for a client. Have no budget, but tons of good spirit.tank02
- A good antidote for the corporate shit I have take day in day out.tank02
- I miss doing my weekly promo poster for a well-known London promoter. Wasn't big bucks, but enough to be handy and shook me from my rut.detritus
- Yep - the tracks sound fun, so could be cool just to rock out a visual for a cover - Agree with Benn though about devaluation - just make sure it doesnt consumeantimotion
- - all your time and energy...antimotion
- Used to work in industry as well and it can be hell because it's "art" and its so subjective - many opinions fly around - but try to get away from grindantimotion
