I think a good cover for manga,comics,video games, albums, and dvd covers is readability, showing people the genre it's under and the target audience.

Can you do a video on conveying message, themes and lessons in a story? From simple lessons like friendship, trust, relationship to deeper and darker things like fear, sadness or any other dark theme. Themes like overcoming fear, never giving up, believing in not what you are but what you can do, etc. I know i already made this comment on your last vid but i just wanted to remind you

Yes, I can definitely do a video about this! I think including messages in a story can help it feel more meaningful, and connect better with others. Thank you for your suggestion. 😊

Loved the video. Some of the points you made about color, composition, etc. I was aware of; while others were ones I hadn't heard of before. The "3x3" grid for instance was something I had never heard of, but makes perfect sense. I appreciate the heads up. Another great video! 👏👏👏👏

This is a really helpful video! I am just starting out on my very own Light Novel and thought I would look into making a cover. This video was perfect! BTW, in your opinion, is it possible to make a living from publishing Light Novels?

@midnightXcross Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much!! I'm happy that my video helped you. 😊 Also, I think it is very possible to make a living from publishing light novels. If you create a good story and find an audience who are interested in that story, then this could work well.

Great video as always. I might revisit the covers I've made so far for my stories and try to apply these tips to them. Of the covers I've shown you so far, do you recognize any of the tips you gave in them?

@midnightXcross Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! I definitely see this in the covers you have shown me so far. I think they balance the techniques well and make for a good introduction of the story. 😊
