A guide to Graphics

Photo Editors + Apps

Guess who finally updated? Anyway, here's some of my favourite apps and editors.

For computers:

I usually use my computer for my edits so here's some of my preferred editors. These editors are for computers, so if you use a phone, then you can just skip it.

PicMonkey (picmonkey.com):

PicMonkey is great if you're starting out in making graphics or if you've been making them for a while. It's very simple and easy to use. PicMonkey comes with it's own fonts as well as textures and overlays you can use for free. The only downside is that once you save a picture, you can't go back later to change the edits if you've already closed the tab.

Pixlr (pixlr.com):

Pixlr isn't as simplified as PicMonkey, but it's an amazing editor for graphics. It comes with tons of tools for editing and from this website, you can save your edits as layered images if you want to go back later and change some things. One downside is that it doesn't come with its own fonts, so you'll have to download them on your computer.

Canva (canva.com):

This website is amazing for making all kinds of edits. Making an account is free and you'll be fine with just the free features. It comes with tons of templates (including one for Wattpad covers!) as well as free backgrounds and icons/illustrations/clipart you can use for your graphics. It also has some great fonts (!)

For phones:

If you don't have a computer, using your phone for edits is fine as well. Here's some great (free) apps that I like to use:

PicsArt:

This app is really great for all edits. It comes with tons of fonts and effects that look amazing. PicsArt has these great clipart/sticker-things that are great to add on to your edits (or for minimalist edits.)

Pixlr:

Yes, this again. The Pixlr app is just as good as PicsArt, though they have some different features. Pixlr has tons of overlays that are amazing for all kinds of edits. It also has some great stickers and borders, and effects that you can use for your graphics.

Phonto:

Phonto is better for apple users but it works great for android as well. This app comes with tons of amazing fonts you can use for text on your edits. You can change the colour, size, and design of the text. Phonto is great for book covers and edits that have text.

Anyway, that's all for now. Thank you so much if your reading this and I'm so sorry I haven't updated in forever. (I couldn't find any inspiration but it's all better now.) The next chapter'll be about fonts, so stick around for that.

If you have any questions, leave a comment and I hope this helps someone. Thank you so much for actually reading this. Byyyeeee.
