Some artists choose not to use a proffesional artwork designer but it is often that someone will come in and create a piece of artwork for the artist to go on the front cover of the CD. This is often seen as a vital part because good artwork can portray people’s decisions and reflect their album.

Photoshop
QuarkXPress
