Growing up from scratch as an independent artiste is quite
challenging and could be lots of hard work. There is tons of work and
tons of promotional aspects to look after and give time to. Among all of
those aspects there is the trying to attract a fan base with seductive
designs and promotional material that can really catch their eyes. One
of the first designs that you need for your career is your logo and
from then on, it can be a lot of things, it can be an artwork on your
social media account profile that says ‘look here' in a very fancy way,
or it can be the cover photo for your Facebook page. Regardless of the
type of design that you will be needing, one thing is for certain, if
you are in the music business, especially as an upcoming artiste, you
need to work with a graphic designer to make sure that you have the most
pristine designs that can make your prospective fans turn their heads.
Still not convinced? Well, I am sure that the following six reasons
will make you change your perspective about having a graphic designer
as a third party to support your music career.
1. You Cannot Afford to Spend Hours on a Design Yourself
Sure,
getting your career up and running is very difficult on its own, but
once it’s up and running, your job is not quite done since it requires
the utmost attention from you, day in and day out. Moreover, anything
which is a product of creative thinking such as graphics are only
enhanced by the time you spend to develop them and to get a good design
done, you need to first spend hours to brainstorm the perfect design,
then there’s the phase of executing and perfecting those designs, all in
all, these may take up to several hours to a day’s worth of time.
Surely, you don’t have that much time to spend behind designs for your
music not when you have songs to write, recording sessions to attend to
and shows to perform. Hiring a graphics designer is the best decision
to take since spending time on your designs are what you will be paying
him for, and if you don’t like a design, you can get it redone until you
do
.
2. The Best Designs Need the Best Software and Hardware to Produce
Almost
all designs in the world are now produced on digital media which
requires state of the art hardware and software; these hardware, and
copyright protected software, can cost a small fortune which might put a
strain on your budgets. Hiring an individual to get your designs done
instead of a having to rely on phone and mobile applications to get
cheap designs will cost you many funds that might be better off
channeled elsewhere. Comparatively, you will find out having just any
graphic designer might not be best suited for your brand as there might
be conflict in ideas.
3. Experience Matters
Professional
graphic designers have been active in their fields for years now and
have a lot of experience in their field. These designers might also
have extensive knowledge of working with similar businesses such as
yours and all of these combine to produce a level of expertise that you
simply cannot attain overnight (regardless of how many YouTube videos
you binge through). These designers can note down your promotional
target audience base and produce the best possible design with the right
color code, fonts and images that can appeal to your target audience
base exclusively, something that is a feat to achieve personally.
Moreover,
because of being active in these fields for years, most professional
designers can give you advises on how to better approach your
promotional strategies; they can also, through their designs, make your
craft stand out of the industry.
4. It Gives your Music the Identity it Needs
It
is very important to hire a professional graphic designer whenever you
are starting off with a new project because, it is during the beginning
of your promotional phase when it needs to set out its brand identity
through its design that your designer can carve an identity for you.
Setting
out the right brand identity for your career is extremely important,
because whether it is the logo, the color code, the font, or the imagery
you use to represent your music; it’s all going to be a very crucial
factor in how people perceive your music to be. Also, keep in mind that
the initial design elements that will be created for your craft are the
ones that you are going to be using for an extensive period of time
(before you start another project); elements such as the logo, color
codes are going to be used in all promotional activities, social media
etc. so if it’s not looking right, it may even go on to hamper the
amount of attention that you earn.
5. Communication
The
importance and usefulness of graphic designs extends beyond your record
label logo and the designs for your music cover art. Graphic designs
can produce visual aids that will help you communicate your music ideas.
An informative image can transmit ideas that cannot be expressed with
words alone. You can use professionally designed images to create a
positive impression and avoid misunderstandings with your fans, critics
or even your own contemporaries. Having a graphics designer behind your
back can also help you make interesting looking memes , postcards and
other materials needed for your career development etc. that you can
give out to content creators, social media influencers and company
executives during the hunting seasons for endorsement.
