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.

Are exact fonts, logos, faces, dimensions, and crops guaranteed?

No. The cover is shaped around those constraints and reviewed where possible, but exact typography, logo geometry, identity fidelity, delivered dimensions, and display crops still require visual checking.

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.

Cover visuals for recurring publishing needs

Feature article covers

Give long-form essays, interviews, and opinion pieces a focused hero visual that communicates the subject quickly.

Campaign and announcement headers

Create a branded article header for launches, events, updates, and member communications.

Product and service explainers

Build a cover around one product, benefit, or transformation while keeping the core subject easy to recognize.

Recurring editorial series

Reuse consistent color, composition, and title-area decisions across a recognizable publishing series.

Start from the article

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

Plan the headline

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

Design for the destination

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
Anticipate edge crops without promising identical display

Review with purpose

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
