As far as album cover/artwork/info, soca & calypso albums are rather embarrassing. I realize budget may be an issue for many, but at least have some pride in your work and present it as something of value. If you don't want to spend money on an actual "design", at least choose 1 quality photo and include all relevant info on the back. I've done work for Sparkey as mentioned, Ajamu, Short Shirt, etc. and I was glad to see quality output. You don't know how bad I'd like to do EVERYBODY's covers! I'm tired of seeing low quality photos, typos, incorrect tracklists, and missing information.
Machel's the only artist I can think of that consistently has attractive and informative albums designs.

It's not that easy getting in touch with people - artists, management, whoever....I'm here. Link me.
