What is your thought process when making cover arts for someone?

Alimaydidthat: I listen to music if i have it. I brainstorm about the name and lyrics a lot. I connect ideas, then I think about the colors and harmonies. I do sketches or brain-draws about the cover art. After all i go on my PC and create it.

Alimaydidthat: A LOT!!! Cover art is the first thing listeners will see before hearing the music. I personally won’t listen to an upcoming artist with a wack cover art.

Do you think about the colors you are going to use after hearing the music or as soon as u hear the title of the song?

Alimaydidthat: As soon as I see the name and I make sure it matches the music after or not.
