Non-square album art
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2014 2:22 am
What do we do with artwork that isn't square (commonly digipaks/singles)?
I know the rules state "Images must be in jpg format sized 1000x1000 pixels, no exceptions."
Normally I would just crop the artwork though that isn't always a possibility (text or important images getting cut off) or maybe pad the top and bottom with a solid colour if the particular cover allows. I won't change the aspect ratio because that's uncool though I have seen some of that on this site possibly due to the 1000x1000 rule.
What's the solution if the above isn't suitable?
