How do you make your banners/headers/dividers for your works? What program do you use? Or do you find them online and edit them?
Hi there!
Wow, it’s actually really flattering that people want to know how I make my banners, headers, dividers, etc. Because when I started trying to make my own stuff I thought I very much sucked at it. 😂😂
I use Canva for everything I design, and I now do make all of my stuff as I’ve learned the program over time.
I wouldn’t take someone else’s design and try to edit on top of it—unless the creator has specifically shared it for others to use. (Make sure to credit/@ them if you do use their design with their permission.)
How do I do it? Through a lot of painstaking trial and error lol.
Though someone else also asked me this recently, so here’s a short post on the basics of how I make my dividers, for example.
I use a combination of the basic line, shape, and frame tools with graphics and other elements from Canva templates that I think will go with the fic to create headers, banners, etc. Between those and the editing tools, I try to utilize all of what the program has to offer without going too crazy with the design. If something has too many elements, people don’t know where to look and it becomes “too busy.”
I try to create designs that are simple, effective, eye-catching, consistent with my style, and hopefully well-balanced.
