𝚁𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚎𝚠 :-

Fonts: The font you used may actually be my favorite part of your whole design.

Elements: You've included a title, a description, and the author's name. I suggest you make your own watermark to add to your own designs so people don't steal them.

Relevance: The story your cover's for is a murder mystery. The vibe I'm getting from your cover is 'haunted paranormal '. I'm guessing it's because of the photo's filter/color that it seems haunted. Perhaps if you try out a warmer color, it would be more relevant.

Originality: The overall design is original.

Mechanics: I don't know if it's you or the author who made this mistake, but there's a grammatical mistake in the description. The correct way to write it would be, "You never know the beauty of a simple life until it's gone".

Personal Impression: I LOVE IT. Although your design is amazing, make sure to double check your grammar and make it more relevant to the story next time.

Please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Princess Aqua and I am a part-time graphic designer and a part-time writer.

❂

Nice to meet you, Aqua. When have you started graphic designing?

I started Graphic Designing sometime after joining Wattpad, which was in 2018, I believe.

❂

You must have quite the experience. What drew you to graphic designing?

Umm, I used to have my Graphics Covers created by someone on Wattpad, but they started doing K-pop covers only, so I started learning how to make covers and stuff.

❂

What apps helped you pave your way as a beginner graphic designer?

The Apps that help me become a graphic designer were:

 PicsArt, Superimpose, Phonto and MagicEraser. I do have more apps for this but I haven't experienced with them yet.

❂

Do you think Wattpad gives enough of a platform for graphic designers?

Yes, it's a great community with amazing people. But I also wish graphics designers had a better category beside Random on Wattpad.

❂

Me too. To be honest, Wattpad did start off as a writing platform, but if someone decides to make a petition to give graphic designers their own genre, I won't hesitate to sign it.

What are your favorite genres to make covers for?

Paranormal, Fantasy and Romance, because any other genres it's harder to get right all the time, but I will still do covers for all genres, even my less favourite ones.

❂

What do you do when you feel lost of inspiration?

I feel like I can do anything in the fastest time with amazing results!

❂

Then you must have a lot of ideas in store for future covers XD

Yes, I do, and I can't wait to share them with the community.

❂

I can't wait to see them

What's your motto when it comes to graphic designing?

I don't really have a motto at the moment, but if anyone can think of one for me, I would very much appreciate it.

❂

Well, I have a couple of quotes I want you to choose from. Maybe they'll give you ideas to a motto of your own. 

a."Have no fear of perfection- you'll never reach it".

 b."You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have".

 c."Good design is good business".

Which of the quotes is your favorite?

I like B and C.

❂

I like them, too. 'A' seems a bit pessimistic.

Lol.

❂

What album cover do you like the most? And who's the singer it belongs to?

Hmm, the album cover I like the most is Lover by Taylor Swift.

❂

It is a good cover, and a good album

You said you are a part-time designer and a part-time writer, which do you think is a stronger means of expression, designing or writing?

Umm, I'm stronger at designing then writing, but that's not stopping me from trying to write my first book.

❂

XD What's your first book about?

It's a Paranormal Fantasy/LGBTQ+ book about a Vampire and an Alpha Female that fall in love. This book is not mature, because I started writing it for a Wattpad Contest.

❂

Do you write as a hobby?

Right now I do.

❂

What do you find to be the best similarity between writing and designing?

They are both creative works, and they are both something I enjoy doing.

❂

This is where our interview ends. I hope you've enjoyed it. Have a great day and stay safe <3
