BEAUTIFUL COVER BY @wreaths-
easy to understand tips, tricks and tutorials on how to make better...
I've recently found that some writers requesting graphics and no idea what the forms were saying so here I will be explaining them as well as giving out some tips.
faceclaims these are the people you what on your graphics. you can put a model, celebrity etc, ( e.g. Bridget Saterlee ) or put a description ( e.g. girl with short black hair and green eyes )
manip, simple, vector, minimal these are all explained in the chapter ' ▶types of covers ' though it actually applies to all graphics. they are basically the steel if graphic. just remember — complex covers don't mean better covers!
tips on requesting and receiving graphics etiquettes, really
1) be clear on the graphic you want. don't give too little information as he designer may not have inspiration, but the don't give too much as we are not magicians and we cannot give you exactly what you want. we are not robots, we are designers.
2) let your designer know if you are unsatisfied with that graphic. we'd rather give you something you will use for a long time, than something you don't really what to use. but, don't be too picky and try limit the number if redos. this avoids the designer being annoyed or the loss of information and will to redo.
3) be polite and patient. if you are waiting too long, contact the designer.. she/he may have forgotten.. (not me btw I nEver EvEr forget like wut u talking boit huh)

< the graphics >
cover a wattpad book cover, obviously. › size : 512 x 800 pixels
banner a small rectangular graphic. people use it for signitures, book banners (with the title or something), a than you for reading banner, etc) some designers offer gif banners › size : legit just a small rectangle
picsam / aesthetic a picture collage of six pictures. some designers offer gif versions. they are based on a certain mood / color › size : varies, really, but it is a vertical rectangle
moodboard a picture collage of six or nine images. some designers offer gif versions. they are based on a certain mood / color › size : square for nine images
icon your profile picture › size : a square ( or a circle for wattpad haha )
header the picture behind you icon. › size : there is no exact size. it is more squarish on mobile and is an extremely think rectangle on the pc. I recommend using plain images for hey header so it doesn't look weird on other devices.
here's a lil something I just made! it's not to scale but hope it helps!
