Sketch 4: Podcast Graphics
Due: 9/21
Tag: sk4
Once we’ve settled on a title and basic structure for the podcast series, we’ll need to design, at minimum, a square cover image (3000 x 300 pixels) in order for iTunes and other hosting services to syndicate the podcast. Here’s a page describing guidelines for iTunes cover art, which is similar across the syndication services.
Use whatever technology you choose, including crayons and paper if that is what works for you. If you have used Photoshop or InDesign, those are great tools for something like this. But you might also check out services like Canva, which is a free, web-based tool for designing simple graphics and documents — they have a template for designing podcast covers.
If you are using digital methods, export a good quality .jpg or .png file. If you use analog methods for designing a cover, then make a color scan of your image (don’t just snap a photo with your cell phone).
If you use images created by someone else in your design, make sure they are CC-licensed and allow modifications (in other words, the creator did not choose the NoDerivatives license).
Hi Professor Morgen!

Thanks, Adriana! The reason your podcast graphic didn’t show up automatically is that you published it as a page instead of as a post. Let me know if you need more guidance about the difference between a post and a page.
