Nutty Debate: Reading vs Listening to fiction: Podiobook vs Dead Tree.
This is a Google Hangout recorded by youtube with quite a number of people on the call. The audio quality isn’t as top notch as normal and some of the guests have bad mics/connections but it’s listenable.
September 2nd, 2012 I held a panel (Google Hangout) in conjunction with Dragon*Cant, How to visually represent your audio project. Below is the full video with the tutorial and discussion, in addition to the dos and don’ts you will be able to see a demonstration of Photoshop and GIMP, two of the most popular image editing programs out there. One is free (GIMP) and anyone can use it, and one costs butt loads of money and needs a lot of skill to learn. In the video I also cover some other image editing choices.
For the TL;DR crowd:
Do’s:
Include your brand.
Show name, episode title, and episode number.
Make sure to post your album art in both the mp3 file AND in your blog post so facebook and google plus will generate an image preview to the episode link.
Make two sizes of your art, 1400×1400 for iTunes and smaller for your webpage.
Make your art square.
Have you art relevant to the topic of the episode.
Ask for help.
Use the same image style and brand on your website, your facebook page/group, your G+ profile, twitter account, and all other forms of social media.
Don’ts
use bizarre color combinations
get in over your head (if you have little knowledge with image editing, don’t buy photoshop, start simple)
ignore cover art
ignore social media sites, you need to get your podcast in people’s faces, that starts with the cover art that links to the website.
Do you have tips or suggestions to add to this? Please leave it in the comments, thank you.
It’s hot thanks to it being summer so I recorded this at the radio station in sweet, sweet air conditioning. (oh and I call Nathan Lowell a jerk… for being so talented)
My goal was to make a shorter episode, I ended up failing at that, sorry folks.
This is a bit of a bonus episode. A few weeks back Tek (AKA The Clockwork Doctor), Encaf1 (Host of The Weird Show) and I watched the movie Moon starring Sam Rockwell and then got together at #opChickenWing to discuss it.
You all know my pet peeve about eating while podcasting, but I think the biggest problem here is the music of the pub and the people laughing in the background. Still, I did what I could to clean up the audio. If you don’t like it, don’t worry, the next episode of Nutty Bites will have clean audio. If you do like it, then you will get to feel what it is like to experience #OpChickenWing \o/
