Welcome to /r/fakealbumcovers! Have you created a cover for an album that doesn't exist? Alternate art for a real song? This is the subreddit you've been looking for.


/R/FAKEALBUMCOVERS RULES

1. Fake album covers only. This subreddit is for fake album covers only. Real album covers will be removed.

2. Album covers must be square. Posts are not required to be perfectly square down to the pixel, but if a moderator can tell a post is not a square at a glance it will be removed. Mockup posts are exempt.

3. Posts must resemble an album cover. Images posted here must look as if they could be album art. This subreddit is focused on fake album covers, not necessarily any beautiful or interesting picture.

4. Post titles must include the album's artist's name and title. 'Artist' name refers to the person or group who recorded your fake album.

5. Low effort submissions will be removed This includes unaltered images, posts clearly created in Snapchat, adding just a Parental Advisory sticker to a picture, and anything else the moderators deem to be low effort.

6. Reposts will be removed. Posts created using the same base image(s) as a previous post are allowed; reposting another user's art is not.

7. Posts made with images found on Reddit are only permitted on Mondays. Posts made primarily from pictures found on Reddit are only allowed on Mondays and should be flaired as either Edit [Reddit] or Found [Reddit].

8. No request posts. All posts must be completed artwork. If you have an idea for a post or an image you'd like to see used, post it in the #requests channel in the Discord server.

If your post includes art created by someone else, please credit them in the comments. Also, please apply the correct flair to your post.
