Just a last few tips from me:
○ The size for wattpad covers that I use is Width: 512px and Height: 800px (px stands for pixels.) This is double the height and width that wattpad asks for but it still fits perfectly and it is easier to work on.
○ Try not to leave any sharp or ragged edges when cropping out images. Try using a soft brush to get rid of them.
○ Don't use cheesy or tacky fonts that look unprofessional.
○ Try adding some texture images over the top of your image by decreasing the opacity. You can find texture images all over DeviantArt.
○ Try downloading some brushes/gradients/patterns for Photoshop or gimp. You can also find these on DeviantArt, but typing Photoshop brushes into google should bring up some other good websites.
○ Experiment!
I think that's it for now. If there is anything I forgot I will add it in later and remember, don't be scared to message me if you need any help. You can do this!
