First off, have you seen my covers? They're terrible. I had my friend make a few for me (shoutout to Karina) because I suck so bad.

But, you guys asked so I have to answer.

TIP ONE

First step to making covers, do not use two different swirly fonts. It looks chaotic, messy, and above all, shitty. Here's what that would look like:

See how ugly? You need to make sure you have a "base" font

See how ugly? You need to make sure you have a "base" font. It would be just simple, straightforward font.

That looks better

Now, you can always use the same font too.

Also, to add a glossy effect to my covers, I use -voidallison 's template

((btw, if you want my font list just ask and I'll post a chapter with them))

TIP TWO

Picking a photo is also extremely important. The photo, obviously, has to be good quality. I normally go to Google and search "[actor/actress/whatever] photoshoot" for photos.

Scroll around until you find a desired photo. The photo should be around the size/dimensions of a wattpad photo cover.

I really suck at descriptions so below is a video of me making a cover for my friend. I went pretty slow so you can follow along.

I hope this helped. Feel free to leave comments/questions!
