So, actually, I'm working with simpkle tools: - A photo editor (to define the dimensions, select a frame and first, simple effects, such as texture)
- MS Paint (further effects)
- MS Powerpoint (or similar), for text effects.
See examples. |
Can't say often enough how much I appreciate ANY feedback! And to see what others create (be it with my covers or with own creations)!
I'm just thrilled that I found a place for me here. This whole thing started with me, wanting my husband to cut some pictures to use for my fanfiction into the right size (didn't even know how to do THAT then, by now I know MS PAINT too). I wanted more since this little Plugin hooked me (totally all the 'Generate Cover Plugin' fold
).
My husband was wise enough to not even try, he knows me too well. Instead he showed me PIXLR and that is so far the only program I knew how to work. Nevertheless, with every cover I learn something more. Even making tutorials is a new challange for me because I didn't do something like that before this thread either.
I bought me by now a graphic-tablet, still tryng to find out how this damn thing works though (way too many functions). BUT I'm really dying
to try something with it, just need a purpose.
Soooo, for every one out there (again... have said that ones or twice already) if you need help, search for something more specific as a cover etc.
I'm always open for inspiration, to give any help or create something and to answer any questions.
