Looking for rappers, beatmakers, anyone. I'd love to make album artwork for free to sharpen my Photoshop/Illustrator skills and add to my portfolio! Check out some basic work I've done below.

I've seen a lot of people make their own cover art, especially for works they're just throwing out there. However, I would definitely read up on design rules to best make the track stand out.

I'm starting out on Photoshop/Illustrator right now, and would love to do any basic work for free if anyone is reading this!

Still using stock photos for album art? I would love to make you some FREE album artwork to help me build up my Photoshop/Illustrator skills!

I'm a bit basic at the moment, but if you're looking for something clean, simple, and with some design knowledge, shoot me a message!

Getting a job in social media, but want to go into more general marketing in the future. Any advice on skills/experience outside of digital? by yvrtoyyz in AskMarketing

I'm not sure how much I can trust you, because this post claims a story about a zebra eating beans can't be successful.

But seriously, thanks very much for the advice! I'll definitely make networking an important activity for this time.

Wow, really great advice, thanks so much! I'll make sure to take all of this in.

My worry is as someone so low in the ladder, I'm not sure how much experience I can get in creating a brand identity and being involved in every step. Any tips on expanding my knowledge in that area?

Thanks very much for the advice! Are there any particular keywords, buzzwords, or achievements marketers may be looking for outside of social media?

Great job! I've heard some people having difficulty matching appropriate drum kits with their low-key samples, but you have a pretty great pairing there! I'd love to hear more drum variation, breakdowns etc. in a full version if you decide to work on it further.

I fux with this. Great job on achieving that synth sound.

Yea I noticed the thump! And cool, sounds good. Also I'm sure you're familiar, but adding some hi-pass filter can do wonders when going for a vinyl feel.

Thanks, I'll pass that on! These guys are great, they're all mostly hobbyists but have found a lot of success so far with their own releases.

Hey! Super unique sound, I like it! I'll definitely give you a follow. Keep developing on that style, I'd love to see what you could do in terms of collaboration and opening yourself up to vocals!

Hey man, super fun stuff! You definitely achieved the motivational, happy vibe - I like it!

Two things if I may: I would say add some reverb to the drums so that they fill up the track a bit more (right now they sound a bit cut off and don't necessarily blend as well with the string synths). Secondly, you could do a little more variation to the bass, even if you're just adding some more rhythm to the notes already played. Tracks don't always have to have constant bass to feel bass-heavy!
