Special Note: Podcast artwork is still a relatively new niche so these designers may not be able to provide examples of specific podcast artwork they've created, however, it will be very similar to logo work.
It's important to know there are certain requirements that must be met when it comes to your podcast cover art and those requirements are listed below. If these requirements are not met, your podcast will not be approved by Apple Podcasts so, I would make sure your designer has this information.
It's also important to understand that podcast artwork, when viewed on an iPhone (which is where the vast majority of podcast listeners come from), is shrunken to about the size of a sugar cube. So, it's best to have the least amount of text possible, and to fill up as much of the image as possible.
Requirements:
Minimum 1400 x 1400 and maximum of 3000 x 3000 pixels (If you want to submit your podcast to Pandora, your artwork must be 3000 x 3000 pixels.)
