hello my dudes ! i personally enjoy making graphics (even though i'll admit i'm really not the best at it), so i've picked up a few tips & trips that may help some of you out. sooo i thought i'd share them.
[ if you want to see an example of some of my best edits look at the chapters above this one ]
all of these tips i'm about to list are just using basic apps on your phone, because quite frankly i'm too broke to download photoshop. which makes me cry, bc it's such a fun program to use. but anways, here's just a short list of the apps i use most for editing:

so this chapter is specifically just general tips for manipulated covers.

tip no. 1:
finding the face. once you know what face-claim you're using, you need to find a photo of them to use for the cover. i suggest googling "*name of person* photoshoot" because you'll find more high quality photos. ie photos actually taken by a professional photographer with a fancy ass camera instead of a selfie etc

when you're looking for the right photo, here's some super basic guidelines:
- don't choose a photo where the person's head is cut off. this is pretty basic but, yeah. - the clearer the better. if a photo won't load or is kinda blurry just find a new one. - choose a photo that matches the character. like if your character is has brown hair don't use a photo where your face-claim is wearing a blonde wig or something...

tip no. 2:
the background! honestly you can find sooo many pre-made ones all over. there's books full of them on wp, plus you can find them on google by searching textures then cropping them to fit as a cover.
