I've seen other people do these, so I thought (having found the drive containing things from my old computer) that I'd have a look back too.
Things were more dire than I thought.
I had to screenshot this off of microsoft word (where I made it: picture + text= great cover in my years ago mind). It was made for a story (a contest entry actually) that I was posting on Figment.com (the writing website I used before coming to Wattpad).
No surprise: the story was as bad as the cover (although we won't get into that since this is a graphics journey and not a writing journey).
Now we have my first 'commission'!
That text was also done in Microsoft Word. The image editing and cutting out was done on some photo software that I had gotten for Christmas the year before this was made. I don't remember the name of the software. This cover actually had another in its series that I also made, but I apparently didn't save that one. Anyways, they were both the same idea: Clint and Tasha over a city background corresponding to the setting of the book (blurrily cut out Clint and Tasha of course).
Now I started making covers for my own Avengers fanfiction.
I'M CRINGING SO HARD RN GUYS YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. LOKI ISN'T EVEN CUT OUT OF HIS BACKGROUND?! IT'S JUST LIKE MULTIPLIED?!
I even had an edit of the main character, Christina.
