    Dear Bennn,
    I think 2000 to 3000$ is a very reasonable price for an album cover. But Noggin only has a budget of 400$. So maybe we can help him with shitty PS ideas, a link to a stock photo that fits his description or a plugin that turns a picture into ASCII to go around copyright issues.
    Making album art is every design student's dream job and you'll be sure to find mockups in their portfolio. But musicians are now putting out albums on their own and have a very limited budget. I've donated photos that I had taken for fun for an album before because I understood that this was a passion project for the musician. My images were clearly not going to sell their record! This is different than putting the time and work into a project from the beginning. Time and work for which everybody has to get paid for obviously.I called you out because I saw your portfolio with non-paid album mockups and that made you sound bitter.
    I'm just trying to help a brother out.

    • And so they're producing and sharing their own videos, their own news blogs, their own entertainment, their own knowledge with each other ... 1/2soundofreason
    • I totally agree with helping him out and I always adjust my price depending on the client.Bennn
    • ... in these lateral networks at near zero marginal costs and essentially for free bypassing the capitalist market, in many instances altogether. 2/2soundofreason
