A clear photo of you and a line about the look give you up to four cover pictures to choose from. A clear face and a bold colour stand out at thumbnail size. If you make video episodes too, see a YouTube thumbnail picture of yourself.
What you need
- An iPhone with Rift.
- One clear photo of you, face to camera, shoulders in.
- A colour and a mood: warm, bold, calm, funny.
Step by step
- Add your photo in Spark.
- Say the look. Backdrop colour, light and the pose.
- Check the Draft. Ask for more space around you.
- Make. Tap Make to get up to 4 versions. The price is shown on the Make button before you tap.
- Choose one in your Library.
Lines to try with Spark
- “Me in front of a warm studio shelf, bold orange backdrop, big smile.”
- “Me and my co-host back to back, teal background, studio lights.”
- “My dog wearing headphones on a yellow backdrop.”
- “A classic microphone on a desk in soft purple light.”
- “My old van parked in front of a sunset, door open.”
Tips
- Design for small. Your cover is tiny in a list, so keep it simple.
- Leave room for the name. Ask for empty space at the top.
- One bold colour. It stands out in a crowded list.
- Use a real face. People trust a person they can see.
