Your cover art is the single most important asset of your podcast. Along with your show title, it’s one of the only elements that almost everyone who ever stumbles across your show will encounter.
And when they do, what they see on the cover will determine whether they stop, look closer, and maybe even click through to listen to an episode…
Or whether scroll right by, potentially never to return.
In short, your podcast artwork matters. And in this video, I break down my thought process when designing cover art that hooks listeners, fills in the gaps left by the show title, and communicates the experience of the show.
