Remaking My Steewpid Amateur Covers

Stupid is actually pronounced "steew-pid" but apparently people started saying it like "stewpid" and it stuck (SuperCarlinBrothers Jay talked about this in a video...about something. I forgot which one.)

I've been making covers for...for...uh, 7 years or so. Gosh. That's a long time.

Anyway, I started to do it seriously about 4 years ago. Now I make covers that actually look like covers and not "cover artwork". You'll see what I mean :)

I decided to post some of my remake attempts on old covers. I will post the old cover and then the remake. Just to make it clear, I will label the legal ones as "legal" and I will also be posting ones I made for people and I will label those as "Title & Authorname copyrighted" so you know which ones not to steal. Actually, most of them will probably be "Title & Authorname copyrighted" because some of them belong to me, too. I have rights, right? Right. (Daffy Duck reference. If you've seen the one with Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny in the hunting scene, you will know which one I'm talking about.)

In fact, don't steal any of them :P Well, I trust you guys. I do :)

Without further ado...do, dododo, dodooo *sings*...

1.
Old cover for a poem of mine.
Just font on a pic. Boring!
Title copyrighted.
And the remake version is...
New version!
Title copyrighted.



2.
Old cover. Again, font on a pic.
Title & Authorname copyrighted.

New version! Which do you like?
Title & Authorname copyrighted.




3.
The moment I discovered Foto Flexer
and went crazy with putting pics on top of pics.
Just looks messed up.
Title copyrighted.

Clean version AND legal.
I'm pretty proud of this one.
Title copyrighted...but
I don't remember who this was for.




4.

Old version. Just font on top of a pic.
Title copyrighted and again,
I don't remember who this was for.

The background pic is legal. The ribbon title part
isn't. I might try remaking this one again.
Title copyrighted.



5.
Literally I did nothing to this pic.
No extra nothing except for the font
which is almost melting into the pic.
Title & Authorname copyrighted.

The new version. I tried to make it more book-cover like.
It's a legal cover. Thanks Pixabay.
Title & Authorname copyrighted.




6.
This is for a NaNoWriMo story I wrote.
Despite that the only thing for personal
use only is the font, I never really liked it.
Title copyrighted.

Ah yes, this is better.
The swirl parts are supposed to be buildings,
hence the color.
But hey, which one do you guys like?
Title & Authorname copyrighted.

That's all of them.

You wish there were more? Well, let me tell you, one cover can take around 1 and a half hours to 2 hours to make and a remake cover takes longer because I'm searching for the perfect matching legal pics to work with.

So there you have it. Some remake covers of mine.

See ya later, alligators! :D
