Working together

Start with
the music.

  1. Tell me about the release

    Send your artist name, title, music or visual references, release date and the formats you need. An idea of your budget helps shape the project.

  2. Agree the direction

    We’ll discuss the concept and confirm a quote, the deliverables and a schedule before design starts.

  3. Review and finish

    Review the artwork, work through the agreed changes, then receive the final files for your release.
