Lyric Record Design Guide
Begin by entering the artist name and song title. If you don’t already have the lyrics, use the Find Lyrics on Google or Find Lyrics on Genius button to locate them, then copy and paste them into the Lyrics or Message box below. If you’d rather not use lyrics, you can enter a personal message instead.
Tip: Enter the lyrics as separate lines instead of one long paragraph. This adds a ● between lines on the record for a more stylized look.
Use the second tab to design the look of your lyric record and add your personal text. Select Theme to choose the overall color style of your artwork. Use Font Selection to change the font for the custom text you enter in the top and bottom text boxes.
By default, the center label of the record displays the artist name and song title from the first step. If you’d rather use a personal photo in the center, choose Photo from the Center Label or Photo selector. This will reveal the upload option so you can add a high-resolution image, along with sliders to adjust its position within the center of the record.
If you choose to use a photo in the center, a good option is to place the artist name and song title in Top line 1 and Top line 2. This helps keep that information visible on the design while allowing the photo to take the place of the center label.
In the third tab, take a moment to review your design carefully. Use the Open Record Preview button to zoom in on the record portion of your artwork so you can check the lyrics more closely and see how the layout looks in detail. If you uploaded a photo for the center of the record, make sure it is positioned exactly the way you want.
Be sure to review any custom text you entered in the top and bottom text boxes, and confirm that your lyrics are correct. The image shown in the design preview is the exact artwork that will be used for printing, so it is your responsibility to make sure all lyrics, messages, and placement details are correct before saving.
When you’re happy with your design, click Save Design. Your artwork will be uploaded, and you’ll be taken to the product page where you can choose your product type, such as a print, framed print, or aluminum print, along with your preferred size.
From there, you can either send your design into production or request another review. Once you’ve made your selections, click Add to Bag and continue through checkout.
