It has been maybe three years since I started making covers. Through the years, I've improved a lot, but yet has a long, long way to go.
I made my first cover on some Pizap app (on my tablet) which didn't have many cover-y tools, so I ended up making a landscape cover with COMIC SANS text on it.
I don't have the cover, though (thankfully)
I stopped writing that story because I don't think anyone completes their first story.
Then, I made another cover on MS Paint. Don't have it either. It looked like it was made with a potato. Plain eww.
Then for me third story, whose cover, for goodness sake, I do have. (I hunted it down)
(cringe)
I think every young cover-maker goes through this stage? I'm not sure. Anyways, I just turned 11 at the time. This was made using Pizap (the website) as well. The texture was premade and NOT MY SKILLS or blah.
And here I am, all happy about my cover-making skills because someone chose my cover over another 11-year-old's.
So, I made a cover shop on Quotev (cringey me memories).
And these were these were the examples I used:
(CRINGE OVERLOAD)
And then somehow...
I MANAGED TO GET CUSTOMERS?!
I feel sorry for them.
