      Hey everybody! So, I’m really wanting to earn some money somehow and I thought I’d try my hand at Graphic design. I enjoy it just doing stuff on Canva for fun myself, but I’d like to get better so would y’all want me to make any book covers for you? Even for short stories! Also any tips from those who do a bit of design @gracie-j thinking of you lol, that’d be great!

       

      here’s what I need if y’all want something!
      1. author name (if your comfortable, if not there won’t be a name or you’ll have to give me something else to put)

      2. Full title

      3. Any tag lines

      4. color, theme, specific images and ideas, detailed or not, specified font (flowy, crisp and clear, techy etc) layout (where you want all text) and Genre(s)

      5. anything else you want to add

          First off, I would love for you to do a cover for me!!!

          1. Title: Something Bright and Beautiful
          2. Author: Grace A. Johnson
          3. Tagline: None
          4. Themes: Modern, contemporary, light, airy, fresh, happy, colorful, hopeful, eclectic, bright and beautiful (XD), romance (everything else is up to you!)
          5. Other details: Cityscape and/or sunrise

          As for tips? Hmm…well, every artist’s eye is different, so I can’t give you advice on creativity. But I do recommend keep colors and fonts limited (to maybe two or three of each) and well contrasted. So maybe a simple, non-fussy font for the author’s name and a flowing, elegant font for the title – but not two different kinds of pretty fonts. Make sense? Study other covers to get an idea of what fits the theme/genres. OH! And when using Canva, try out changing the transparency of the image, font, or graphic you’re using! You can come up with some cool effects by doing that!

          Anyway, I hope that helps! Have fun designing!!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with! 🙂

            Oof. Thanks for the offer, @godlyfantasy12, but I don’t think I could use that right now. Hope it goes well for you, though!

              Hey, girl! Thank you for tagging me! 🙂 I’d be honored if you did a cover for me, thanks for offering! <3 So totally take your time with this if you’re already busy, but here’s what I have in mind…

              Author name: A.M. Williams

              Book Title: Swan Song

              Tagline: None

              Color palette: Blue and grey primarily, white, purple, brown, black… mostly darker-ish colors

              Theme: Bravery, knighthood, faith, water (relevant to the plot), magic, romance (only if it fits), swords (is that a theme?), and basically anything you think might fit! 🙂

              Other details: None that I can think of! If you have any questions, please let me know! Again, thanks a million for this! I can’t wait! 😀

                Wow, thanks for the offer! If you have the time to make one for me, I’d be honored!

                Title: Beauty Out of Ashes

                Author: Bethel Christine

                Tagline: None

                Themes: It’s kind of a contemporary coming-of-age story and, basically, the story of a high school bully (someone seemingly destined for prison) changing from a jerk to a gentleman. It centers around him and the girl who kind of initiates the change. And it does end in a romance. 😉  I guess elements that might work would be light breaking through darkness, alleys, graffiti, snow, and Christmas.

                Thank you so much!!! <33
