Album Art & Cover Design
Album artwork that captures the sound, the story, and the identity behind your music — designed for streaming platforms, physical releases, and long-term brand recognition.
More Than a Cover
Album art is often the first connection between your music and your audience. It should communicate mood, genre, and intention before a single note is played.
XMLA designs album artwork that feels cohesive, intentional, and platform-ready — not generic templates or one-off visuals.
