quick tips —

• choose readable fonts
try going for bold/thicker fonts , if you want a cursive font , make sure it isn't too thin or unreadable . here's an example —

left — do right — don't (or use a brighter color so it's more visible)

both are great looking fonts , but the one on the right is harder to read , checkout my fonts chapters if you need some good fonts !

• good pictures .
keep in mind that the main things in typography covers are the text and background picture . use high quality pictures for your background , choosing a picture that looks pixelated or blurry will make it look unprofessional and not catch the readers' eye . here's an example —

do:                            don't:

• play with your text .
you don't have to do this one all the time , but messing around with the placement of your text , colors, etc . can make it seem more visually appealing and stand out from other covers . things like curving the text , adding shadows or changing fonts , can make the cover look more fun and less simplistic . keeping it simple is also good , but if you want to change it up then this will do it . here's an example —

do: don't:

• size .
the size of the text definitely matters a lot , specially the important words . let's say the title of your book is "mystery of love" the main words are "mystery" and "love" . try making those stand out more by making them bigger , or by making the word "of" smaller . the author and subtitle don't have to be the same size as well , here's an example —

do: don't:

• centering the text

this is something i've seen so much here . a lot of people i guess don't do a double take when making a typography cover (or cover in general) and don't center their text . having the text not being right on the center will make it look funky and just not the best . here's an example —

do: don't:

(i exaggerated it a bit , but yeah center your text)

you can find more simple backgrounds like the one i used here and on other examples on my pinterest board "simple backgrounds" <3 ^

and you can find other high quality background images in other boards of mine !
