Fig. 01 — The work
Covers built to survive the thumbnail.
A cover art has one real job: hold up at the size of a fingernail in a crowded app. We design everything at that scale first, then make it beautiful at full size. The mark, the type, the color — all tested where listeners actually see them.
Not sure where your show stands?
Send us your current cover and a link to an episode. We'll give you an honest read — for free — on what's working and what we'd change.

Fig. 03 — Why a spec, not a vibe
We hand you a system, not a single picture.
A lot of design work leaves you with one pretty cover file and no idea what to do next week. We build the whole kit — labeled sizes, editable templates, clear rules — so you can post a new episode without opening a design app or asking anyone's permission.
Everything comes measured, named, and documented like a drawing set. You'll always know which file goes where, and why it's that size.

Fig. 04 — How it goes
A good cover does one quiet job: it makes someone stop scrolling and trust that the show is worth their time.Our whole process bends toward that one moment.

Fig. 05 — Your options
Two honest ways to get this done.
Plenty of shows start out doing their own art. Here's the real trade-off — no spin.
Plan A — do it yourself
Template app + good intentions
- A cover that reads fine big, muddy small
- Every episode rebuilt from scratch
- No system when you want to grow
- Hours you'd rather spend recording
Plan B — River Lantern
One studio, one measured kit
- Covers tested at thumbnail size first
- Templates you reuse in minutes
- A system that scales with the show
- Priced and finished in about 3 weeks
