Prompts for podcast and music covers

A podcast or album cover is almost always seen as a thumbnail, in a list next to hundreds of others. It needs a strong visual idea, few elements and a look people recognise episode after episode.

These codes cover the square formats of audio platforms, the graphic styles that work best at small sizes and pieces for social media: audiograms, countdowns and quotes.
