Uh, if you noticed recently, I've been experimenting with manipulation covers, especially this type where I try to put a lot of stuff together and hope for the best.
Ngl, kinda outdid myself in this book's new cover (weird flex but ok).
I want to make a tutorial on it, but I can't. Because all I did was just combining pictures until it looks nice to me.
So... I'm just handing out tips that I think might help :).
Enjoy.
1. Establishing a consistent color palette
If you want your cover to look nice and coordinated yet still messy, using a color palette can prevent your cover from looking out of place.
You don't have to limit yourself to only one or two colors, you can also use palettes such as :
1. Rainbow (red, orange, yellow..., you know the drill)
2. Neutral (black, white, grey)
3. Pastels
4. Neon
5. Warm/cool tones (warm : brown, yellow, orange, etc; cool : blue, green, purple, etc)But if you're still confused then start by using one or two colors only.
If you want to use a picture that you like but the colors are not in your range, just go exploit the hue/saturation/lightness filter.
2. How do I browse?
Go to your designated search engine and just type
[Color] aesthetic, e.g. white aesthetic
Text overlay
[Surface] texture, e.g. wool texture
