this was so engaging and i loved how you talked through each one! That YA dystopian is spot on hahah I also love the adult literary fiction cover! - what a cool exercise especially to really get to *know* your novel
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
Wow! So much talent and creativity here, I can't! The last one is my fave, especially the darker version you showed for a second. It looks almost like a horror/terror book cover and I love it. And I agree, it would actually end up really cool if you just kept the original idea of writing lots of things and call it a day hahahaha
The adult literary cover was a really interesting approach but a beautiful result! As someone who has never used photoshop, this was super impressive (and I'm sure it would be super impressive to anyone who has used photoshop)! It was interesting how you started with the genre you thought fit it the best but I really liked how you played around with different styles. I would love to see you do this again, will go check out that playlist.
not gonna lie i love me some dystopian books and its so funny i never saw covers like the one you made back when i was reading a lot of dystopians (im getting back into the genre this year!) but because of that i think the dystopian cover was literally so beautiful and i 10/10 WOULD READ IT! you made it sound real interesting (and theres the fact that dystopian is definitely my fav genre and that we both wrote dystopian books at 13! ahahahh)
I adore that you are describing everything that you're doing on screen. Thank you for that! I can't see much of what's going on in your screen capture and it's also sped up. I would have been so lost without the voiceover and a lot of creators just do the screen with music. Thanks a million for this! I'm learning a lot about cover design here. 💜👽💜
@@rachelwritesbooks girl, if by any miracle of stars aligning or something like thwt I ever get enough funds to go the self publishing route (I've been very open about being on the poverty line), I would totally hire your for cover design. I can't at the moment, that's why I'm going after traditional publishing, but I like that you now your stuff.
AHHHH The kiss of deception is for real sitll one of my fav covers, one of the first fantasy books i ever read so it's real cool that you used it for inspo .I prolly wouldnt buy either but yo THE FONT IS SO BEAUTIFUL SHUTTTKHLADSD DAJSDJ YOUR TYPOGRAPHY TAKES ME OUT ! I find these videos so very fun my gosh i-
How are you so talented omg? o_O Also, we stan the castle!! I love about forty-five minutes away from it, and I can confirm that it is on every fantasy book cover, even here in Germany 😂 And that literary book cover x_x
this was such a cool idea!! I'd love another version of this,, either with a different book in the Fostered series or any other of your WIP but with different genres. My fav cover was the dystopian because I really didn't know how all the fire and other elements were going to look but it looked exactly like dystopians back in 2012 lmao
lmao clearly i wrote this comment before finishing the video where you ask for suggestions haha. Um i think the PLL cover was a cool idea, making your books look like popular book covers so maybe a harry potter or hunger games version of your book could be one?
Okay, I just found your channel and it reminds me of when I first started writing. It has kind of reminded me to remember to write for fun too so thank you!
I just found out about your videos from your friend Shaelin. Great video. You're VERY talented! (And it would be nice to see a cover from your take on a novel that was 'New Adult/Literary fiction). Wonderful job! ☺👍👏
they are all so beautiful! and they really make me want to design new covers for my own books😂 edit: a sci-fi / cyberpunk one could be awesome maybe? or a historical fiction version?
GIMP! One of my faves, it’s an open source software and a really solid PS dupe. I made tons of my covers there, I’ll link the vids! ruclips.net/video/T5ITsQwebbI/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/m7dBqbEKVOY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/UbQ1fJhg1fY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/bVHxx-cKrZE/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/t-9HbK2YWc8/видео.html

This is a side note but I think your last name is so pretty and I’ve added it to my list of last names for my future characters
Aw this is such a kind comment I’ve never been complimented on my last name lol! ❤️

@@rachelwritesbooks You make it look so easy! Mine stink! Maybe I should take a break and... you know... edit.
Morgan Hazelwood aw it just takes a bit of practice I’m sure you’re great! ❤️

edit: a sci-fi / cyberpunk one could be awesome maybe? or a historical fiction version?
Thank you! And thanks for the suggestions these are great! ❤️
How long does it normally take you to come on up with a story? I'm working on a book about reality tv for about a month an a half.
To write a novel it takes me about a year to draft!
@@rachelwritesbooks thanks!💛
Your editing skills are amazing. How long did it take for you to be this good?
I’ve been doing photo manipulation for about 7 years now, completely self taught!
@@rachelwritesbooks That’s so cool!
I wish I can make a book but I don't have a printer
Is there any other software instead of photoshop where I can make covers?
GIMP! One of my faves, it’s an open source software and a really solid PS dupe. I made tons of my covers there, I’ll link the vids! ruclips.net/video/T5ITsQwebbI/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/m7dBqbEKVOY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/UbQ1fJhg1fY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/bVHxx-cKrZE/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/t-9HbK2YWc8/видео.html
Are you allowed to use pictures off the internet? Will I get sued if I just use google pictures

This chick is soo cool 😎

Where did you get your proof copy?
I used to print them at CreateSpace but they don’t really exist anymore lol if I were to print more I’d go with Blurb
may i know what app are you using?
Photoshop!
