Cover Image – Template

by Alex Ledante August 23, 2019, 3:35 am 60 Views 10 Votes 17 Comments

To help with creating cover images for Virily, I have created a helpful template. Use it as an overlay in your favorite image editor, my advice is to keep the template on the top and set the layer effect to multiply

#1 template

just download this template. it is set to Virily's recommended image area of 1920 pixels by 360 pixels, with the caveat that Virily will dynamically resize your graphic to fit different sized monitors

#2 example

this was generated without the template and you can see that my name will be partially covered by the gradient at the bottom. plus there are other elements that will lay on top of your image, so it is best to keep anything important outside of the bottom of the graphic

Ok if your name is partly covered not so good. I think the Blue image needs to be slightly larger.

    I would say reducing my changes of error is good. But sadly I can find new ways to break things!

        I am a shampoo computer user.
        
        lather
        rinse
        repeat
        
        except that it is usually an error, fix, repeat!
