How to make a novel poster look good

Answer 1

Here are some ways to make a good novel poster:

** 1. Create with the help of the software from Microsoft.com **
1. ** Preparing Work **
- If it was the first time using the relevant page, you would see a text box. You can input words such as "Creating a novel poster"(Chinese is fine, but sometimes you can try English if the effect is poor). If prompted to log in, you can log in to your Microsoftaccount or register a new account. If the interface is in English, you can use the browser translation button to convert it to Chinese.
2. ** Enter a description **
- If you don't know how to type in the description on the left, you can click on the reference picture on the right to get the description of the poster and click to automatically fill it in on the left.
3. ** Generation and Modification **
- After clicking the "Create" button, various posters would be generated quickly. You can also import pictures from your phone or computer. He could also use the "generate images" function (using DALL-E's drawing AI engine), such as describing the relevant elements of the novel (like the characters, scenes, etc. in the novel) in Chinese. Some of the generated posters had animation effects. If you are not satisfied with the generated poster, you can choose to modify it on the basis. You can click on the "design" button, and more designs will appear on the right side.
- In terms of templates, there were a large number of ready-made designs that could be modified in the "template" tool, but they would replace the previous designs generated by AI. In "My Media", there were uploaded or AI generated images, which could be dragged to replace or add images. The right side would be automatically typed. In "Vision", various images and shapes were provided and supported search, which could be directly dragged and used. The "Text" button could change the text style, but it did not support Chinese very well at the moment. There were few effects that could be changed by typing Chinese. However, it had the function of randomly generating text styles, and it could also generate text of different lengths and even introductory content. The "Automatic Color Match" tool provided a large number of color schemes, which could randomly match colors to make the poster's color matching more beautiful.

** 2. Use the Kingsoft poster function of WPS to create the poster **
1. ** Basic Operation **
- He opened WPS, clicked on "New", and selected "Jinshan Poster" in the navigation bar. There were many picture templates for various scenes, such as mobile phone posters, public account cover pictures, etc., to meet daily needs.
2. ** Create using template **
- Choose the template image you like, then modify and replace the text and illustration elements in the template. After modifying, save and download.
3. ** Personalized Creation **
- If you want to create a poster with your own style, you can choose to create a new blank canvas and upload your own photos to create. The search bar on the left had a wealth of graphics, text, and color schemes to assist in the creation. Moreover,"Kingsoft Poster" supported WPS mobile editing. It could be viewed, edited, and saved simultaneously on the computer and mobile, making it convenient to create or modify at any time and anywhere.

** 3. Use PS (suitable for users with a certain foundation)**
1. ** Familiar with Layers **
- After opening the psd file, first browse the layers (the number 8 in the red box on the right side of the interface), turn off all the layers (click on the small eyes), and then light up the small eyes one by one from bottom to top to understand the layers and production methods. After that, turn off all the eyes and look at the bottom layer one by one and pay attention to the layer name.
2. ** Dealing with Difficulties **
- ** Blending the product into the surrounding color **: To make the product's color harmonious with the surrounding, you can use ctrl-u (hue/saturation), ctrl-b (color balance), ctrl-m (curve) to adjust the brightness. Save the source file before toning. You can copy the layer with ctrl-j.
- ** Creating the product shadow **: First copy the product layer, click on the Gaussian blur in the filter (the value can be determined by yourself), then absorb the surrounding color of the product and adjust it to a darker or darker color. After selecting the product layer (ctrl-click), press alt+delete to color it, then press ctrl-t to change it, choose a suitable position to place it under the product layer, pay attention to the light source of the whole picture, and ensure that the shadow direction is reasonable.
- ** Layer Styles **: The Layer Styles function in the Layers panel is very useful. For example, you can make the dark parts of the picture darker and the light parts brighter. You can also try out other functions such as color filtering and positive layering.
- ** Layer Mask **: After adding the mask, use the Brush Tool (press b) and choose a pure black brush to draw on the mask to make the position of the painting more transparent (note to adjust the brush's clarity). The pure white brush is similar to the recall function. Double-click on the relevant position of the text layer to open the layer style or change the text. There were also corresponding operations for ordinary layers. Finally, you can use the merge layer shortcut keys Shifi+ ctri +alt+e (merge the layer that lights up the eyes without disappearing the other layers). You can also create a new window with 1400* 800p to start production (you can obtain the psd installation package and psd source file through relevant channels).
