Advantages: You can directly see the style and general content of Vlog from the cover, which can quickly attract people's attention. Disadvantages: the screenshot will be pasted if it is not cut well, and the picture quality may not be too clear. It is easy to affect the perception.
Step 2 take a selfie
This kind of cover directly uses a simple and rude selfie as the cover of the whole Vlog. If you use this method, it is suggested that you carefully choose a good title to make people more aware or curious about your Vlog content. For example, the Vlog cover of Upmaster @ Lively Fat _ with a simple selfie as the cover has been played more than 70w+. But sei makes Sister Tong not only beautiful, but also an interesting soul ~
Advantages: this method is suitable for Vlogger with a certain fan base, good-looking selfies or characteristics, and it saves time and effort to make. Disadvantages: only one selfie is too monotonous, indicating that the production level is rough and not exquisite enough. Sei doesn't want to be a delicate girl yet.
3. emoticon pack
A Vlog cover with expressions or buzzwords is also the most common way. Keeping up with the hot trend, deusexe makes people shine on the cover of small and fresh. For example, up Master @ blocked my duck intestines and used the most popular amusement prince in the video cover.
Advantages: Funny facial expressions can attract the attention of the audience at the first time, get attention and be full of fun. Disadvantages: If you overuse popular elements, it will cause the audience's aesthetic fatigue.
4. Fixed template class
This cover will have a fixed "template" frame, so that each short video forms a unified style. Most of them will be used in the form of bedding and text. At present, this type of cover accounts for the majority. For example, up Master @ Auxiliary Jing is an animation major. She combined her animation with Vlog to create a special IP image of her own.
Let's take a look at the Vlog cover of up Master @ poison corner show, which basically adopts the form of matting+headline. The image of unicorn and the title of fixed color scheme are impressive.
Advantages: The fixed template can make the Vlog cover form an independent style, which can better help users develop viewing habits. Disadvantages: excessive use of fixed templates may cause visual fatigue of viewers, giving people a feeling of being inflexible and not innovative.
Cover making skills
1. Avoid plain text.
In most cases, pure text will give people a monotonous feeling. People can't click on your Vlog unless your text is explosive enough.
Where did you spend your money? It's none of my business. Hey!
2. Make sure the pictures are clean and tidy
The neatness of the picture refers to avoiding QR codes, logos, mosaics, black edges, subtitles, etc. On the cover. The accumulation of various materials will also make the picture messy.
I know you are happy! But can you not look me in the eye!
3. The picture is complete and clear
Both the cover and the title are carriers of information, and the cover must be clear and not vague. If the cover picture can't guarantee the clarity, then it can't convey the information, and it will lose its existence value.
I wiped my glasses three times, but I still can't see the picture clearly.
4. The cover is closely related to the title.
The strong correlation between cover and title requires a direct correlation between cover and title. If you intercept it at will, most viewers will probably slip through your Vlog because they are too lazy to think.
If the cover is dominated by characters, highlight the expressions and emotions of the characters:
Pictures? Swear ball
If you focus on specific objects, such as food, technology, products, etc. You should highlight the key points:
Pictures? Mutton cuisine
Students should never make covers at will for the sake of rubbing hot spots, which will easily lead to fuzzy cognition and loss of users.
5. Continue to strengthen the IP image.
Let the Vlog cover define a fixed form, which can better help users develop viewing habits. Using IP image directly or adding brand elements is the simplest and most effective method.

Forming one's own style does not mean that all covers should be one type, but through the use of some elements, the cover has a certain symbol.
Pictures? I'm Jerry Guo
How to make a Vlog cover
So how do you make a Vlog cover? Lazy teacher, give me a chestnut:
1. Size selection
Common video websites mainly have video size requirements of 16: 10, 16:9, 2.35: 1. If a student's Vlog needs to be uploaded to multiple platforms, don't be lazy and make a cover of different sizes. Otherwise, you are likely to be beheaded.

Cut out the material you need, and suggest taking a photo alone on the day of shooting Vlog to ensure the consistency of makeup and hair, so that there will be no big gap between the cover and the content. Be sure to take a complete picture of the top of your head when taking pictures, otherwise it will be very troublesome to pick it up in the end. ) Then use the matting function in Fotor's lazy design to dig out what you need.
Is it operated by a fool? Very simple ~
