So first thing first, finding a good picture. I personally use a wallpaper app called Zedge, and use some of the cooler pictures for the covers-

At this point make sure you have a planned out title. If not, look at the picture, that's how I get most of my titles.

After that I use another app Called PicCollage I then make a new 'free style' and set the photo I chose for the background.

After that you have two choices
1. Add a title and such and be finished
Or
2. Save the pic without words {You can add stickers} and go to a new app called Pixlr {By saving it in PicCollage it becomes the size of a Wattpad cover}

If you chose to go with Pixlr then you load up the photo you previously saved in PicCollage and add the title and such from there. {I do this because there is more font choices}

A few tips-
· Don't block heads, eyes, or main points with words
· You can either be simple or grand with the words, I usually go with simple
· Make sure that the title is way darker or way paler then the background
· You don't have to Choose a photo that relates to the story
· Choose a font that fits with the theme of the story
· If you use similar colors of the background for the words, use an outline for the words
· A warriors book doesn't need a cat on the front, a WoF book doesn't need a dragon, etc.
· On Zedge go through the 'collections' they usually have very good pics

If you have any questions {About the apps or what ever} or need writing/cover/life advice, just ask! I'M ALMOST ALWAYS ON WATTPAD XD
