Illustrator - Contract

This project seeks a talented illustrator to design a square album cover for a two-song bluegrass and folk release, "When I'm Gone / Old Home Place."

• Source file (PSD, AI, or equivalent) for future edits and resizing
• Design must include the provided song titles and artist name
• Artwork suitable for digital distribution and social media promotion
