Timothy and the Apocalypse / Artist Services

Your sound.
Your vision.
Your identity.

Cover Artwork & Visual Identity

Your artwork is often the first thing someone sees before they ever hear a note of your music. Make that first impression count.

We create distinctive single, EP and album artwork that captures the atmosphere, emotion and personality of your music, combining cinematic photography, visual design and contemporary creative techniques.

01 / What we create

sounds like you.

02 / Our approach

More than
a square image.

Great cover artwork should feel like a natural extension of the music.

We consider atmosphere, genre, emotional tone, visual storytelling and how the design will appear across different platforms and screen sizes.

The result is artwork designed to be memorable, recognisable and connected to your identity as an artist.

Artwork specifications

A typical delivery format is 3000 × 3000 pixels in RGB colour, subject to your distributor's current requirements. Final deliverables, revisions, usage rights and any additional formats are agreed before the project begins.

06 / Behind the artwork

A photographer.
A designer.
A musician.

With more than 30 years of experience in Photoshop and visual design, alongside a professional background in landscape photography, I bring a strong photographic and creative perspective to every project.

As the artist behind Timothy and the Apocalypse and The Time Meddler, I also understand the connection between music, emotion and visual identity from an artist's perspective.

The best artwork doesn't just illustrate the music. It makes you feel something before the first note plays.
