GRAPHIC HELP BOOK by Lola
2023/CRYSTALLOUS

『 IMPORTANT 』

just a (actually quite important) disclaimer before we get started: in this book I'll be giving away some of my biggest graphic secrets and skills I needed a long time to master, tricks that I discovered myself and/or make my graphics unique. I've actually thought a long time about this, wether i want to give my „secrets" away or not, because a lot of hard work and experience acquired over a long time goes into this, more than you might imagine. I really do pour my heart and soul into the graphics I create to make them as perfect as possible.

So now that I'm giving away all these tricks for everyone to use, i think it would be cool in return to just leave a comment, a vote and/or to give me a follow. I'd also be super grateful if you would give this book a shoutout on your message board/promote it on your account if this helped you in any way!

Giving me back some love for what I do is very much appreciated and also of course motivates me to keep this book going. Of course I'd also love to check out the work you used my tutorials for, so please feel free to just tag me or send me a dm. So I can take a look at all the amazing creations you make and show them some love! 💗

We're doing it.

We are not doing ‚Get Help'.

Get help! Please! My brother is dying!
Get help! Help him!

WELCOME

soo now hello hello everyone!! welcome to this much requested graphic help book where I'll try my best to teach you everything you need to know to make stunning graphics <3
I hope I can create a safe space for all designers here and help you out!

Have fun whilst (re-)creating!!

『 HOW THIS BOOK WORKS 』

001 - throughout this book I will walk you through the process of making a cover, that means starting with gathering resources and then manips and then the highlighting and so on. So this will be structured after the different apps im using throughout the process (which i'll be introducing in the first chapter), and you can just read through the book in chronological order - like instructions for Ikea! (which will hopefully lead to a beautifully built shelf/cover as the final product 🤝)

002 - there will be a request chapter where you guys can ask for certain skills you want to learn, covers you'd like me to recreate or anything else! (Pinterest linked in the comments so that you can look at my works for something you'd like to learn how to do)
I will try to incorporate these questions into the book then.

003 - very important: I'd love this not only to be a graphic help book, but a community to exchange knowledge. so within this book you'll find some interactive spots where everyone can (for example) drop their fave fonts/psds, helpful tips and so on, so that not only my stuff is here to help people out but also other designer's knowledge! this is a safe space for both beginner and advanced designers, and feel free to answer other people's questions too!

004 - you can ask anything graphic related, and when enough questions have accumulated I can do a q&a about graphics and how everything works in general! as you can see, I'd love for this to be as interactive as possible <3

『 REMINDER 』

Just a little reminder to please be patient with yourself. Learning graphic design takes a lot of time, trial and error and critical self-reflection. but don't be too harsh on yourself, you go at your own pace and i'm sure you'll master anything if you don't give up 🤍
