What a purpose-built article cover clarifies
One idea, one visual hook
Reduce the article to a memorable subject, contrast, or metaphor instead of filling the cover with competing concepts.
Choose how the title belongs
Place a short title in the image or reserve a calm, high-contrast area for typography added later.
Refine without losing direction
Improve the focal point, hierarchy, lighting, color, and brand feel while keeping the accepted composition recognizable where possible.
How it is made
Find the one idea the cover should carry
Use the title, topic, audience, and tone to extract one visual hook that stays clear when the image is small.
Identify the article's central promise or tension · Choose one focal subject or metaphor · Keep secondary details in a supporting role · Define what must remain recognizable
Put the title in the image—or protect space for it
Choose a short rendered title when flexibility is acceptable, or a text-free background when exact typography matters.
Use one exact short title when text is included · Reserve calm negative space for later typesetting · Create strong contrast behind the headline area · Keep important details away from vulnerable edges
Fit one canvas with clear hierarchy
Balance focal scale, negative space, brand cues, and visual movement for the intended article placement.
Commit to one publishing canvas at a time · Make the focal point readable at thumbnail size · Use color and light to reinforce hierarchy · Use safe margins that stay clear across common display crops
Improve the highest-impact detail without starting over
Compare the cover with the article brief, then focus any follow-up on the single change most likely to improve clarity.
Check thumbnail recognition first · Review hierarchy, focal point, and headline contrast · Check canvas fit and crop risk · Keep the next refinement focused

Questions
What do I need to start a WeChat cover?
A title or topic is enough to begin. An article summary, audience, visual tone, target size, brand colors, logo, product, or portrait can help shape a more specific direction.
Can the article title appear inside the image?
Yes. A short title can be included with a planned placement and contrast, or the cover can remain text-free with a safe area for precise typesetting later.
Can I use an existing logo, product image, portrait, or brand reference?
Yes. Up to four visual references can guide the composition, style, subject, or brand direction, with the most important details stated clearly.
How does the cover keep headlines, logos, faces, and crops clear across placements?
It uses safe margins, clear hierarchy, thumbnail review, and placement-aware cropping, then checks typography, logo shape, faces, dimensions, and edge details before finalizing the cover.
