I'm about to attempt a career in book design and am here making a portfolio thinking way too in-depth about font choice, symbolism, composition, genre trends, etc....I'm less worried about getting a job now.
@@itsdivyag and there are definetly some great ones! I adore the miss meteor cover. But i do believe in recent years covers have became less original and more basic. As the gravity of us is also so pretty!

the six feet apart could do for a sad romance (As in six feet under, one of them dies at the end type of story and the other has to carry on. tbh I'd read it) and the masked kiss reminds me of a mysterious pirate or rebel with his/or her identity covered by a mask and romance then comes to be. Maybe only their love interest knows what they really look like under the mask.
Once again, you did an amazing job on those covers. They look just like something you'd expect to find in a bookstore. Any publishing house would be lucky to have you
Who needs Skillshare when you have this channel. New York Times Best-seller here I come with my original story about a quirky girl called Bamilla Kabello who trips on the beach in front of her archnemesis: sexy bad boy billonaire vampire Zhawn Pendes.
I'm a sucker for the illustrated book covers the publishing industry really got me it's so bad that I'd even pick up your fake Shawnmila books only because of the covers
this video made my day. as a romance writer it’s so annoying to see the exact same cover for ever book, but hearing you talk about it cracked me up. jesus. i’ve got tears in my eyes wtf
Ohh god. I was at a bookstore yesterday, I looked at two books with such a similar cover. Only thing is one book was horror novel and other was a romance.
@@princessmanitari4993 Abstract flowers, on horror novel it had rose petals on black background and other book had variety of flowers on a dark background. At first glance , I was like "Great! Another Fifty shades of [insert color here]"
first off, you did amazing. those look like real book covers. I hope a publishing house hits you up so you can get come side hustle coin. second, I actually like this current trend of bright colors and somewhat minimalist design. to me, it looks cute, which often matches the contemporary story within its pages. also, it’s such a nice change from the only ever previous kind of romance novels with the half naked guy as bulky as a horse and some desperate woman clinging to him like he’s a god
The second one looks really good. It captures the story you were going for so well. It looks just like something you'd find in a book store. Also, it's really playful. This style is perfect for easy reads.
I m going to desecrate some of my fav literature, like 1984, unbearable lightness of being and dr Zhivago, with on budget YA cover design. Thanks for the inspiration and wish me luck.
I literally randomly clicked on the video came on my fyp, just saw Shawn and Camilla, didn't read the title or saw the thumbnail properly and maaan did I looove this girls energy and comedic sarcasm I was hooked instantly!!
I can’t understand how you would genuinely not put aside a book with a cover like this immediately. They all literally look the same and “mass produced books for mass produced people” is honestly the best way I’ve heard anyone describe this whole situation
They look realistic not cause she is a genius but cause it’s not hard to pick up on a pattern when all the covers look identical. The covers look realistic cause it takes no thought to make shit like that
Those look so good. Would totally read. Senorita looks like some sort of white savior romance where rich yt boy swoops in and rocks the world of poor hispanic girl. Can their romance last, or will unneccesary 3rd act drama come between them when she finds out he's a rich pop star and can't forgive him for lying? Find out like 10 pages before the book ends!
wowwww!! I love her vibe smmm... this is my first ever vid I watched of her and Im in love!! AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US COVER!! GIRLLLL UR SO TALENTED
even on wattpad i need ur cover to be enticing okay i need to feel something when i see it i love me a colorful book cover but i also love classic holy bible esque covers yk a nice color w just the title of the book in a classy font in the top middle 💪 very aesthetically pleasing as someone currently in a digital art class, i felt the struggle w the fonts they really are so important lmfao you’d think it’s so trivial but it plays a big part in advertising and pulling people in

Why do they actually look like real books,,,,I would not question it at all if I saw The Distance Between Us in the bookstore right now
Hahah loved this. My job is done
I can see it now, NYT best seller and then it gets an exclusive HULU deal with a 12 part mini series
Girl this is your cue to write it please I'm sobbing

@@asterismos5451 honestly its good to think about these things makes you a greater artist :)
i'd much rather have these cardboard illustration covers than those romance books with half naked people on it 😩
ogod my mom used to have those but thank god she restricted me the hell away from it when i got curious about them when i was like six 😭😭😭😭
Pleaseee it's such a step up
@@itsdivyag and there are definetly some great ones! I adore the miss meteor cover. But i do believe in recent years covers have became less original and more basic. As the gravity of us is also so pretty!
Agreed
God, THOSE. Why are all iteration of romance covers trash?
The Call Me Señorita cover actually looks amazing 😍
Yes it does!!!
hehe tysm
With what app she made it?
right? 10/10 would read the summary on the back at a hudson news
The queen of Graphic Design has returned. Genuinely looks like something I'd scroll past while on goodreads or in a bookstore
!!! thank yu sm
Wonderful covers. And I'm still laughting to the phrase "Camilla was shot by a ghost"
that ghost really be doing the most
@@itsdivyag "Dr Seuss's The Ghost that Did the Most. Comming soon to your local library" 😂 but seriously, sentences like that on the middle of the most generic romance sinopsis one can think out are what makes online plot generators fun
My Ideas for a pandemic themed romance novel:
1.Six feet between us.
2.The masked kiss
3. Quarantined love
Loool
the six feet apart could do for a sad romance (As in six feet under, one of them dies at the end type of story and the other has to carry on. tbh I'd read it) and the masked kiss reminds me of a mysterious pirate or rebel with his/or her identity covered by a mask and romance then comes to be. Maybe only their love interest knows what they really look like under the mask.
Bro I got one. VirUS
The Distance Between Us looks like a cover I'd actually see, damn
If I hadnt just seen you making these, I would've sworn they were legit books. Amazing work, G. Get that industry in a chokehold.
hhaha thank you sm !!
This is so accurate it hurts. When I saw the thumbnail I 100% thought that was a real book.
omg haha thank you sm
Once again, you did an amazing job on those covers. They look just like something you'd expect to find in a bookstore. Any publishing house would be lucky to have you
thank u!!
this series was the reason why I chose graphic design as my major in 2018. so glad it's back
WAIT ASKDFKSDFS IM SCREAMING
I actually thought the call me senorita book cover was an actual book.
Same, I literally thought I saw that in another booktuber's video 🤔 there both really good good designs 😳
I was like "wait, I've seen that book before"
2:28 I'm crying laughing at "when a ghost tries to shoot Camilla" and at Baldy Bezos the evil hairdresser
he is the best hairdresser in town
queen you should teach a skillshare class ... this is skillll
please haha

Why do I feel like Zhawn is exactly the kind of name an author will give to the hot bad boy male lead to make him seem "edgy" and "unique"
ZHAWN PENDES asfdjfw
I'm crying oshsjahah😭
😂😭🤣🤣
i love how this was just you shitting around but they ended up looking actually professional
😅😅 I wish

the picture of him kissing her foot they should be in jail for that
true love's kiss
the prevention posters for covid in paris actually look like romance covers.... after emily in paris, sean in isolation
WAIT I HAVE TO LOOK THIS UP
These look exactly like every book I read in July.
They look like every straight YA book. The LGBTQ+ ones generally use more love for the cover
hahaha
they both look so sick,, and the mockups? fantastic
thank you!!
Ohh god. I was at a bookstore yesterday, I looked at two books with such a similar cover. Only thing is one book was horror novel and other was a romance.
Owh lord. What was on the cover?

wwoooww
What was both called?
ngl they actually look like a real book cover that i bought for fun
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US LOOKS SO GOOD
I would read both of those in a heartbeat tbh
first off, you did amazing. those look like real book covers. I hope a publishing house hits you up so you can get come side hustle coin. second, I actually like this current trend of bright colors and somewhat minimalist design. to me, it looks cute, which often matches the contemporary story within its pages. also, it’s such a nice change from the only ever previous kind of romance novels with the half naked guy as bulky as a horse and some desperate woman clinging to him like he’s a god
deffo a huge upgrade right!
Thumbnail legit got me thinking someone wrote a book about Shawn and Camilla and that's how you know you did a good job 👌🏾
skkkss llove this thank you
Why does the last one actually sound kinda nice 😭
Someday I'm just full on writing a generic novel or a short story based on these covers you've made w/ credits from the one and only wonderful G
You tried hard but yours still looks way better than any of the trashy covers.
i love covers like this tbh😭
the way i would actually pay you to design my cover and i’m not even kidding rn💀
After watching two videos about covers, I'm subscribing because why not. This creator is so funny while making a lot of sense hahaha 🤣
i never noticed how similar these book covers look-
Genuinely looked like one that would release next week.
haha thank you sm
The second one looks really good. It captures the story you were going for so well. It looks just like something you'd find in a book store. Also, it's really playful. This style is perfect for easy reads.
Thank you!!
this is insanely good, im half convinced you're an actual graphic designer
I've gotten into contemporary romance over the pandemic and I am EMBARRASSED at how much these covers appeal to me 😂😂 This is perfect!

I m going to desecrate some of my fav literature, like 1984, unbearable lightness of being and dr Zhivago, with on budget YA cover design. Thanks for the inspiration and wish me luck.
It's actually looks damn GOOD, and very similar to the bright and colorful contemporary romance books i see everywhere in bookstores
YOUR TALENT AND HUMOR
WHY DO THEY LOOK LEGIT
LIKE I'D READ THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US FR
TY FOR WATCHING
I hate how I thought the thumbnail was an actual book that was probably ripping off the title but NO this is so much better
I literally randomly clicked on the video came on my fyp, just saw Shawn and Camilla, didn't read the title or saw the thumbnail properly and maaan did I looove this girls energy and comedic sarcasm I was hooked instantly!!
The distance between us 🚫
Two meters apart ✅
Get that pandemic guideline in ✅
The distance between us looks SICK
I love Red White and Royal Blue and Boyfriend Material, but it is funny how basic their covers are 😂
A popular trend for sure. Maybe second only to: WWII book with a person in period clothes with their back to the camera.
I can’t understand how you would genuinely not put aside a book with a cover like this immediately. They all literally look the same and “mass produced books for mass produced people” is honestly the best way I’ve heard anyone describe this whole situation
They look realistic not cause she is a genius but cause it’s not hard to pick up on a pattern when all the covers look identical. The covers look realistic cause it takes no thought to make shit like that
Ok but why is this so on point.
ngl if I saw the distance between us in the bookstore... I might pick her up and give her a lil read
amazing compliment haha tysm
Both covers look coooll
Welcome back G, I missed these videos! 😍❤
More to come!
@@itsdivyag Can't wait for those too!!!
I. C. U. Romance at the hospital..nurses saving lives when they needed to save each other from loneliness

THE FACT THAT YOU CALLED OUT CALL ME BY YOUR NAME SKDFHKLSHDF; GIRL YOU BRAVE
GOSH SOME OF THE ROMANCE NOVELS HONESTLY SCREAM WATTPAD ENERGY
SKSK i haven't read them but Wattpad is the home of basically every romance plot imaginable
Those look so good. Would totally read. Senorita looks like some sort of white savior romance where rich yt boy swoops in and rocks the world of poor hispanic girl.

skkskwfaweawe WHYYY IS THIS LEGIT SO ACCURATE

sksksk thank you renny
You always hit the nail on the head so hard with these videos. Go offf

Hopefully i learn more about placing so i can do creative stuff like that more
these look like every cover ever i love it
loving the post graduation glow
hahaha thank you oof
Not you faking me out by saying you were sick (had me going 😦🥺) only for you to come through with the punchline! 😭😭😭
lov u gyal
u are so talented actually i saw the thumbnail and thought these were real books
The way I would actually read the second one because that description sounds like a fanfic
may jaw is on the floor this is exactly how they all look
Hahha I'm glad you liked it
wowwww!! I love her vibe smmm... this is my first ever vid I watched of her and Im in love!! AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US COVER!! GIRLLLL UR SO TALENTED
the fact that right after she scrolled past the only wlw book she said "but right now, it's all looking very het"
I don't read romance so when you showed what they look like now I was like: wow those look like guide books.
i watched 1 minute and 37 seconds of this video and im subscribing immediately.
this series is the reason i’m doing ap graphic design lmao
omg PLEASE best of luck
the comma you added to "call me, señorita" really had me lookin up the lyrics oh lawd
He's telling her to call her, gyal instead of being like call me a gyal
if i saw these covers and barnes and noble i wouldn't even blink ... you really nailed it holy shit
damn!!! thank you!
I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought it was a legitamate contemporary romance.
SPOT on. you are spectacular
Thank you kindly!
"the g stands for graphic design" *is my p a s s i o n*

sksk thank you sm
this really made me smile when I was feeling a bit sad, thank you!
asgfsdhgjgsd i am OBSESSED with these?!?!?!!? i find myself partial to the pandemic love story but i think it's because im obsessed with blue
