So with that being said, here are some tips on how to add a picture on your artist name in no time at all.
But... to even Upload Music to Traxsource you'll need a distributor.
What if I told you that it can be done 100% free AND bous marketing?
Find the perfect picture
This is important as you want the picture to fit your brand and also resonate with your audience.
You also want it to be scalable so you can use it as an image on social media channels.
Best tips for finding a good picture:
- Square photo
- High resolution
- Good color grading
- Avoid too many details
- Scalable image
- Avoid using watermarks
- Complies with Traxsource terms of service
This is the case whether it's Beatport VS Traxsource photo uploads!
You can get free cover art with Boost Collective.
Whether the image is of you or an icon (like Deadmau5) you still need something to brand yourself.
There are some basic rules to follow when choosing a picture.
If it’s too complex... It might lose its effectiveness.
You can use the same image found on your:
- Social media profiles
- Artist press kit
- Artist website
- Even album covers!
You can upload your image in the following formats: JPG or PNG
You also want to make sure it’s not too simple, otherwise might not be memorable to your audience.
Find the right artist logo & icon
This is essential if you want your entire artist photo to be legible.
Sometimes, a logo can work well for you.
Deadmau5 and Marshmallow are icons, but even Martix Garrix has a logo.
Even DRAKE has a logo (his OVO label!)
You are not restricted, it's a mighty good idea.
Just don't confuse your audience or they might not take the time to read it at all.
The style of your logo/icon is where you can get creative.
I advise you to hire a Fiver designer or one from 99Designs to get things rolling.
You can also use image editing software to make sure your image is exactly what you want!
Canva is a FREE software to change the image style. But if you're good at editing then Photoshop works nicely as well.
Changing your artist name
You can even write your artist name in a different language on Traxsource.
Are you a German artist? Go ahead and use it, mate!
Many artists do this to stand out from the crowd and also to let their audience know that they’re global.
When writing your name, make sure it’s easy to read.
Don’t go using fancy fonts or writing the name in a complicated manner...
Unless you're Deadmau5 it won't help you.
Sorry Zypherxxon.
You want to make sure it’s legible and easy to get the message from.
