Booker and label page template
A booker does not need to impress: a booker needs to be taken seriously in thirty seconds. Dossier is the one template that does not look like an artist page, and that is deliberate.
It is the only one that is light by default. The other four open dark because they get opened at night on a phone; this one gets opened at eleven in the morning on a desktop, often printed and sometimes attached to an email. A dark background in that context reads as a printing error. The default palette is papel, with noche available for anyone who wants it anyway.
Everything else follows from that. Images are framed rather than bled — a frame says "this is a reference", a bleed says "this is a campaign". The glow is off. The radius is 6 pixels and density sits just above the base: enough air to read straight through, not so much that the contact sits three scrolls down. The column holds at 720 pixels, the width where a paragraph reads without tiring the eye.
The blocks it opens with
Six blocks ordered like a document: who you are, how big you are, who you represent, what you need, when you work and how to write to you.
- Text — the introduction. Two paragraphs, not ten: who you are and what you do.
- Public counters — EPs, labels, collaborations. Verifiable numbers near the top, because they are what gets scanned.
- Roster — who you represent. The central block of this template.
- Technical rider — the common requirement across your roster, where there is one.
- Events — what you produced, and what is coming.
- Contact form — at the end, which is where it gets looked for after reading.
The roster as a page, not a PDF
The problem with a roster in a PDF is that it ages in someone else pocket. You sign an artist and the document you sent last month is already false, but nobody knows. As a page, the roster is always the same link and only the content changes. The roster page for labels and bookers goes further into how to order it.
Can I use it as an artist rather than a booker?
Yes, and there is a clear case for it: when your page gets opened by someone evaluating you — a festival, a sponsor, a label — rather than by a fan. Artists who manage themselves often want both, and nothing stops you running the page on Dossier and keeping a separate EPK.
Does it print well?
It is the template built for that: light background, framed images, no effects that depend on a screen. The EPK also has its own print view, which is the better option if what you are handing out is paper.
How many artists fit in the roster?
The block has no limit of its own; the limit is your plan block count. Past about twenty, it is worth splitting into two blocks by some criterion — genre, or agency — because a very long list stops being read and starts being scrolled.
Do the counters update themselves?
They read from your profile: add a release or a label and the counter changes. They never invent or estimate — if the number is not in your profile, the counter does not appear.
