Four things ..
A good Summary
An attractive cover
A good title
A good interesting plot and story
We've treated summary in the previous story
So we'll continue with an attractive cover.
There are so many books I've read that what drew me to read it was the cover.
There are so many apps out there that could be used to make covers. Like Canva, Desyna....
The one I use to design my covers is
PicEditor
It's a really nice app
Well for me.
It uses mobile data but there's a trick!
Even if you do not have data, just leave it on and you're good to go.
I download images from Pinterest because of it's quality.
Well I don't download
I just screenshot and crop...
It's that easy.....
How do I decide a cover for my book??
Okay.... How do I put it...
Let me put it this way...
Let's use Mr Lester as an example...
It's a kinda millionaire or billionaire boss story...
And let's say I want it to be focused on only Mr Lester.
Most of the time I already have a description in my head.
Maybe like...
A man in suit
Maybe his face is hidden
Or half his face is hidden...
I'd go to Pinterest and search for it....
Giving as much detail as possible...
Let's use this image
Lol...
I think i cropped his head
I like it but I'm not really sure.
I want it to be darker...
To me, it's kinda bright...
So let's look for another one
This one too is nice but I want a hidden face...
Lol
Sometimes I can be very picky...
I'm still not sure but for now we could work with it
If you want to get what you want, you could be more descriptive in your search engine
Eg
Hidden faced man wearing a suit.....
If you're struggling with a cover, feel free to Private Message me..
Maybe I could help you out.
Let's use the first and second pics to make covers and let's see how it turns out...
I didn't put much effort into making it but we could manage these ones
I feel like a black font with a shadow would've been better....
Still don't know....
Let's edit some things
The background is okay...
It's just to find the right font and color.....
I think I prefer this one...
But the shadow is too glowy....
Ugh...
It's not usually like this...
My other covers are great.
Well maybe because I didn't really put thought and effort into this one
There's this novel I'm working on and I will put a watermark over it...
There are some people out there who derive pleasure in copying other people's works....
The book is not yet out but here's a sneak peek.
Do you guys like the cover?!
If after I put this watermark, you notice people still stealing my title or cover, please inform me.
I really love this cover and it would hurt me if it gets copied.
People that plagiarize, please have a little conscience...
Please do not copy anything at all....
I know you guys have creative spirits....
Let's use another title...
For this one I'm going for a plain background....
This one was actually from my drafts
I picked yellow, ya know...
Cos that was the color on my mind.....
It's just to have the right picture and the right font..
We can't use a plain background for Mr. Lester....
It would be a book catastrophe...
