I do like how there are repetitions of the title Granger and it's quite an intriguing cover. However it doesn't really show genre compatibility. As far as I can make out from the blurb, this story is supposed to be a romance fanfic (correct me if I'm wrong) for which lighter colours like shades of pink and red can be used. The whole black scheme makes it seem more like a mystery novel. When viewed from profile you can't quite make out the photos either nor does it suggest anything related to the title. There are some obvious romantic photos but that's all I can make out. There are too many fonts which sort of makes it look messy and the DR in Draco Malfoy is cut out. But I like that there's one main italic 'Granger' in the centre. I suggest you use two fonts and only two colours or shades of a colour. I'm sure it'll be awesome. Overall, a really interesting cover I have ever stumbled upon.

Oh my goodness! I love this cover! You can easily makeout the teenfic and chat au using the cover. The way you incorporated the author's name on the tablet along with the Wattpad symbol to say it's exclusive only for Wattpad. The soft colours makes me feel at calm and it's quite aesthetic too. The only place I think you can improve upon is the font you used for title. It's bold and for a teenfic, brush or handwriting fonts will be good. Overall, I loved this cover *designer's kiss*

Okay I gotta admit: I love the simplicity yet the effectiveness of this cover. It's a simple one conveying that the novel is a collection of stories yet it manages to tell, even without the need for blurb or subtitles, what the book is about. The page which is folded to form a heart and the sunset behind it tells us clearly that it's a romantic story. I think the heart beat thingy isn't required there as it sort of makes the title unclear. You can also use a brush font or an elegant font for it as usually bold isn't used in romance novels. The colour scheme is superb and it's perfect. Very well done!

This cover is superb! I like how you have used orange and black for the colour scheme to denote fire and the darkness genre of the book. From the blurb, I can make out that the reason for using shades of dark colours are the betrayal and trust issues of the protagonist, Nuri (or Lila). The photo of the faceclaim again conveys a lot of meaning: her reluctance in her posture; the betrayal she has felt from the way she's covering her face; her duties on her head because of the sword. I love the subtitle 'fire is my friend'. It has a double emphasis of the letter f whilst conveying the theme of the story. The font sort of is a bit hard to make out and it's not so clear (maybe Wattpad's fault). I think the white title sort of neglected the colour scheme. A darker shade of white like maybe ash or grey would have looked more appealing to the eyes since everything else is dark. Overall, fantastic cover!

I love this one. The photo used to show that the protagonist is a demon is awesome. The simple border seems a bit off as this novel is supposed to be one with a high energy of destruction from what I observed. Also, you can align the subtitle to the centre so that it makes more of an impact. The colour scheme seems a bit off because of grey and white texts. Maybe one colour will be more appealing. Overall, splendid job!
