A big file, seen small
The cover is drawn at 3000 pixels and mostly seen at the size of a fingertip, in a list of shows. A title of a few words, big, and one strong shape survive that; fine print doesn't.
Setting it up in Rindraw
Choose New Drawing › Custom Canvas, in pixels, and enter 3000 × 3000. The built-in Square is 2048, above the 1400 floor but short of what Apple prefers.
Export as JPEG, or as PNG with Transparent Background off: Apple turns down a cover with an alpha channel.
