Bring the essentials

  1. Artist
  2. Release title
  3. Mood and motif

Choose a visual direction and adapt the description before generating. Turn on optional design refinement if you want help with composition, colors or layout. Keep your facts and exact wording in the brief.

Describe the listening experience

Useful details include pace, tension, warmth and a scene that belongs to the music. Give a specific visual cue such as an empty platform or sunlit kitchen; broad adjectives alone leave more to chance.

Keep the square composition simple

Test the cover at a small size. A clear focal point and a limited palette can survive a tiny player thumbnail better than fine detail. If the artwork contains type, keep it short and deliberate.

See the exact prompt

Make one striking original square 1:1 music album cover, flat artwork. Fictional artist 'NORTHLINE', album title 'AFTER THE LAST TRAIN'. Exact text only. Nighttime indie electronic music: a tiny solitary figure on an empty train platform, long amber light streak curves diagonally into a deep petrol-blue night. The image is abstract enough to feel like an emotional memory; restrained analog grain and intentional motion blur, highly composed negative space, no detailed signs or readable incidental text. Large beautiful condensed ivory title in the upper left, artist name smaller at bottom. Avoid generic equalizers, floating headphones, stock music notes, recognizable artists, train brands or copied existing album art. Do not add track lists, release dates, explicit labels, endorsements, watermark, logos or vinyl mockup. The title must read clearly as a small streaming thumbnail while the luminous curve creates a memorable visual identity.

A few useful answers

Can I make a cover with no text?

Yes. Explicitly request no lettering and let the composition carry the idea.

Is this cleared by a music distributor?

The artwork is a design output. Confirm the distributor's current file and content requirements before release.
