The very first covers that I've ever made are below, exactly as I remember them, trashy and horribly put together. Have some kind of eye protection with you, or you might just be scarred or burned by how awful they look...

After my failure of a first phase, I tried exploring different styles. Yet somehow, after experimenting, I feel like it got worse and trashier... is that even possible?

At this point, I think I was finally starting to find a way that I could reflect a piece of myself onto the covers I made. It wasn't just the watermark that showed it was made by me, it was the little things, like the bright colors I chose to add to each cover.

I had a major breakthrough with these covers, when I started to find a unique style that I could call my own. As terrible as they were, they were mine, and only mine. Been ruining covers since 2018:

Wait... the covers below were made by me? The same girl who made the unbearable covers above... wow. Now my covers can actually be seen without eye protection? They're actually not bad? LSKQLQKQK (That's just me trying to make myself feel better about the talent I don't have)

Ok, let's be honest here. My covers could never compare to other graphic designers on Wattpad who can turn any image into a jaw dropping graphic with the touch of their hand. *cough* _Becca_Boo_ voidlaughter carlcanwritetoo Fandomacc polyester- Neo_03 *cough*

It's ok though. My graphics are my own, and they're definitely not the best, but do I have fun when I make them? Yes, and that's what matters. Do what makes you happy, and even if the outcome isn't as stunning as others, it's ok.

We all can grow, and we have to start somewhere. I'm sure you could ask any graphic designer and they'd tell you that they have a secret stash of not-so-good graphics that they could never show the world. We never go into something being so good that we don't even need to practice. So don't give up and do what makes you happy.
