We've all been there. We've all had an image in our head of exactly what we want our cover to look like but when you try to find a picture to match your vision- you just can't.

First things first, don't go looking for images with a clear picture in your mind of what you want it to look like. You won't find that image. Instead, look for images on google with an open mind.

Basically if you want an aesthetically pleasing cover, putting the word 'tumblr' after whatever you're searching will help you find really nice pictures.

If you find a picture you kind of like, look at related/ suggested pictures that come with it as you'll be able to find other images that are similar.

You can use sites such as WeHeartIt but Google is fine for me.

Copyright. Oooh there's a scary word. Basically I'm not really sure how copyright works on Wattpad but if you  use a few filters and add fonts, and also don't claim the image is your own, you should be good. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. To be honest, nearly everyone on Wattpad uses pictures off the internet. But just never claim pictures as your own unless they are.
