CD Covers

What this internship is

The cover is the first thing a listener sees and the difference between a project that looks pro and one that looks homemade. As a CD Covers intern, you design real album, mixtape, and single artwork for DDD artists — the front, the back, the booklet — the exact work the studio (B.A.R.Studio) and our clients pay for. This is core to what Done Deal Digital does: get independent artists heard, and looking the part while they do.

A cover has seconds to capture a new fan or an A&R's attention. You'll learn to build art that earns that look and still meets every spec the printer and the streaming platforms demand.

What you'll do

• Design front, back, and booklet artwork for albums, mixtapes, and singles
• Build cover art to industry specs — bleed area, square dimensions, and resolution for both print and streaming
• Work directly with artists to turn their sound and concept into the right visual
• Lay out tracklists, credits, logos, and contact details into the back and booklet panels
• Deliver organized, print-ready and platform-ready files for each release

What you'll learn

• Cover art specs for both physical print and digital streaming platforms
• Translating an artist's sound and concept into commercial cover art
• Multi-panel layout: front, back, and booklet as one cohesive package
• Production-ready file prep that won't get rejected by a printer or distributor

Who it's for

For the music head who's been redesigning album covers in their head for years.
