I've had lots of questions about what tools I use lately. I constantly change tools, due to me not being able to consistently pay for programs, but this is my current list. I use a variety of apps and programs.

What do you use to find your images?
I usually use Google and Pinterest. Pinterest has lots of nice photos for inspiration, but Google has png's and whatnot. Deviantart is a great place to find photos, but I don't really use it. I use imgur to share my covers.

What do you use to edit?
Adobe Draw (app)
Adobe Photoshop CS 6(I recently just got this program on my PC, but I'm still learning how to use it 😀)

What do I use to apply fonts?
Phonto (app)
dafont.com to download fonts onto Phonto

What do I use to crop my photos to right dimensions?
For covers I use Underink (app) to get the right Wattpad dimension.
For headers, I've just kinda done them for quite a long time, so I naturally just crop them to about the right size, believe it or not lol.
For icons I use Adobe PS Express (app).
For banners, it's kinda just random because there's not really an exact dimension for them.

Why do you charge so much for your covers?
Okay, so I got a PM a while ago saying this while they requested. I was quite disappointed, but I mean, that's how life works. Compared to the majority of Wattpad graphic makers, I charge less than most do. If you want a free cover, it'll most likely be from someone with no past experience (me when I just began lol), or someone who just puts text on images. I spend at least an hour a day for a week trying to find the perfect photos, blending, and retouching images. It's a lot of effort on my part. If you've ever made graphics, you'll understand. Sometimes, i hit artist's block, where I've lost inspiration or my touch. Anyways, as you can hopefully see, being a graphic designer is not easy, and your payment is something that can replace the time I've used making your graphic.

What happens if I don't pay?
I've had a couple of people who never completed their payment, or gave me credit. I'm kind of upset, but to be honest, I don't want to have to hunt every one of you down. Just please put credit at least, don't take my work and display it as your own, that's a form of plagiarism, you know.

That's it! If you have any more questions, just comment them below, and I'll add them to this chapter!
