"Where Maits gives you free resources and tutorials that no one asked for."
My gift to all fellow mobile editors out there! My organization skills are a mess but at least the freebies make up for it. You can request for tips, tutorials & resources...
mia! cutiepie! hi, im so happy you requested. this is a very small tutorial hence it goes in graphic tips but i hope to be helpful <33 i hope your lovely self finds this useful.
without further ado, let's begin!
for this you will require the assistance of:
any app with decent text options/blending options
what is a watermark? ::
it's essentially different from your usual author-name. if you're making your own cover/banner, i would suggest to avoid adding a watermark and instead to place your author-name in a way it plays more part in your cover, like so:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
you basically add your author-name/watermark to avoid plagiarism of graphics. so your author-name kinda does the job well and you don't exactly need a watermark.
but what about when you are making a request for someone? what then? their cover shouldn't be plagiarised either, since they are the author. so it's technically their cover, hence the author-name must go to them.
that's when you add a watermark. it's like this: I may have bought (maybe i commissioned it too) the painting from you and sold it to a museum, the plaque below it may bear my name as the owner. however, the painting itself will carry your watermark, thus showing that you are the maker.
you also add a watermark when you're entering for graphic contests and the like.
characteristics of a watermark ::
your watermark shouldn't cause you more burden than the original graphic itself lmao
keep it small, keep it simple and keep it out of sight. (not literally okay-)
