Best of 2020
I guess, 2020 was for the most of you not the best year. But in the other side, every year has helpful lessons for all of us!
Today, the 31st December 2020, is the last chapter of this years book! Every story's tell has it bright sides and therefore I want to show you the »BEST GRAPHICS 2020«.
For the first part of the year January and February I didn't find a good enough graphic. As for October and December there were non good enough's too. But in the middle, about June, Juli, August and September were created more than one good graphic!
So I sum up, my graphics had their up and downs, like the situation while the pandemic!
I will rate those good graphics and show you the mistakes and other opposites of good.

And to show you a down, especially one which wasn't only a one time edited Graphic, I believed I could make a nice Cover in the end, but I never finished it...
You are welcome to guess at the end of the chapter, why I didn't finished. Maybe Someone guess the correct answer :)

I am open for your criticism and lob, but please constructive. And hopefully some of you write something in the comments :)
Please use inline-comments, so I know to which graphic you tell me your mind.

Let's Start!

March

I began to sort out Graphics in the middle of the year. Graphics which were created/made in the timeperiod before February mostly got deleted. A new start should fix my talents, should help me not to hold on on old and shitty graphics and set a little statement.
So the first graphic here is »THE ELEMENTAL TRIBUTES«. I like it for the special effect in the text and the harmony of the colors.

April

Here's one manipulation I am proud of.
The Cover as base with the sword, the girl and the portal isn't overcrowded and I am happy of that fact. Otherwise the book jacket isn't my best one. In this time period I began to design metallic-fonts. First at Phonto next to PicsArt. Here you see the beginning of the end of the testing for a good trick. I won't share it, because it took me lot of time and experience and there are a lot of idiots on this Plattform, so I better keep it as a secret.
Also at this time I began with the book jackets. It isn't very professional, but it is not overcrowded and discreet.

May

In May I found two adorable graphics.
The first one is an easy and simple one. The leather and the ornamentals are similar to those old books. I really like those designs, their simple, and mostly without an object, like my sword.
The book jacket has a grammar mistake, I don't speak Latin, so I couldn't know that.
The lightning is getting better and also the metallic-effect. The book jackets middle part looks a bit pressed down, not three-dimensional.

June

As you see here, I had a time I loved designing frames. And I also liked those pitch black background, which should at least have a texture. In this time-period I also loved to design a graphic with glass. And yeah a wine-glass as only help to design a shoe is tricky. But good and suitable pictures are rare, especially when you design license-free.
The next item I loved to use is a crown. And also here the problem, good pictures. In the last Cover of these three ones, it is a qualitative bad picture.

Juli

You remember »ELYSA« from the beginning of the year? It isn't the same, but in the same moment it is. The only difference, excluded the focus of the people and objects, is the format. It is a movie poster while the other, older version a book cover was.
And the second graphic is a movie poster too.
The last ones, are no movie posters, their are book covers. I had really issues with the eyes, one time opened and one time closed.
And here is a really bad color mistake! The schema of the background colors and the text colors are completely different.
Also the color lightning and shadows to change from blue to red ended in the first time more purple, if I remember correctly. So both Covers are designed completely new, to color them better.
Did you detected it? If yes, well done, if not, I didn't told it before and I don't think that a lot will see that, maybe with a schooled-eye?

August

Profile-pictures manipulated! And tears. I loved them. And here is my absolute favorite Profil picture. The tears are with glitter particles, and you won't image, their made of the eyeshadow under the eye. Very thin part, but perfect for those tears.
And I am proud of the three-dimensional look.
Little red riding hood was in the fist time with another face, after manipulation and working the face was not suitable with the author. So I switched it and it got better! She looks a bit similar to a doll.

September

At september I designed a complete big book jacket. Also I made the cave wider.
In the end of this month I designed a manipulation. The whole background is new designed, the persons hair was new drawn, the ratios and scars are new, the dragon scaled suit of armor. The atmosphere is something special and I won't ever beat this graphic again. I loved it damn much. What do you say?

November

My latest order.
I don't know what to write to this. Maybe I can tell you, this book als got chapter-banner.
You should stop by the author (@TeaAddict05) if you like novels with the genre mixed of science-fiction and romantic I guess, not sure if I remember correctly.

Never published/finished 2020

And here we go! The graphic I didn't finished this year. You can guess why or better said, where the problem was :)
And maybe you know a idea what to do with this now, before I decide to delete it 😂😅

Last words?
Did I forget your favorite graphic of mine, then you are free to tell it in the comments!
And anything else, then tell.

I wish you a hopefully better new year than this, but we learned out of all and will use this to make the new year a better one!
