I began my cover designing ways just in January (2017, yes just three months ago) by self-teaching myself GIMP (a photoshop clone) after several authors told me to get a life and give up cover design. Thankfully, I took this as a challange rather than the tear down it was intended as. Before that, I was only using Canva.com (which I still use because its so darn easy) and to be fair, they were ok covers at best. not having a lot of money to spend, I really didn't have a choice. I have always had an artistic bent, but its been a delightful surprise to see how far I've come in just a few short months. Enjoy!
