iTunes Celebrity Playlists

As the designer responsible for many of the production design processes for receiving artwork from record labels and recording artists and creating production ready artwork for the iTunes Music Store, Having developed a detailed and efficient workflow to ensure that artwork is received and processed in a timely and professional manner on a production schedule in accordance with New Music Tuesdays.

The first step in this process was to establish clear communication with record labels and artists. This included setting up regular communication channels and ensuring that all relevant information is shared in a timely and organized manner.

Upon receiving artwork, carefully reviewing to ensure that it meets the necessary technical and creative requirements. This includes checking for resolution, color accuracy, and overall production value. Any issues or concerns are communicated to the label or artist for resolution.

Once the artwork is approved, it is prepared for production by adding any necessary metadata, cobranding and watermarks including resizing to scale or cropping to the appropriate dimensions. It is then sent through a rigorous quality assurance process to ensure that it is ready for display in the iTunes Music Store.

Throughout streamlining continuous improvement into this process, I worked closely with labels and artists to ensure that their vision is realized in the final artwork, and that all deadlines are met. By following this thorough and organized process, we are able to provide high quality, professional artwork for the iTunes Music Store that meets the needs of both the label or artist and you, the listener.
