Hi! I'm @grow-pro and I want to create you a better cover image on Steemit!

I have plenty of experience with basic to very complex cover design

^{view in night mode for the full experience}

I've created quite a few cover images on [Steemit](https://steemit.com/) over the past few months. As simple as it might seem, it is more challenging than you think! Sizing is key and everyone you ask suggests a slightly different size. You can see that I have played with the sizing and viewing ratio to get some pretty unique covers. I test each design to ensure it works well on various devices and screen sizes - up to 5k Retina. It will look good on almost every size screen down to mobile (in landscape view). To get a layout that will have floating overlaid text when you upload it, it takes more than one shot to do it. There are no "templates" or specs to design from quite yet and these will almost certainly change many times over in the future. That is why I offer options for basic, as well as complex designs. I will lay that out in detail in this post. https://steemitimages.com/DQmeKK5M8HGb6LubVAnoxR4SK8fCvRf7N52wybPb6HuW7o9/growpro-basi-full-design-header.png

From basic design to one-of-a-kind. No matter what you're after - I've got you covered.

^{My first design [won me 10 SBD in a cover image contest](https://steemit.com/steemit/@grow-pro/i-won-usd10-sbd-for-my-cover-image-design-and-here-s-how-used-it-thanks-ausbitbank-for-the-awesome-contest) thanks to the one & only @ausbitbank! *This is where I really started picking up Steem.*. Much love for my Aussie mates keeping the dream alive for many of us minnows. YOU HAVE MY [WITNESS VOTE](https://steemit.com/~witnesses)!! I'm still riding high off that win @ausbitbank ✌️😎}

^{@kryptocek's cover image fresh from the creation station! Another great person that I recently encountered on Steemit, thanks to @boatsports90, who stepped up and offered me an opportunity to make him some icons (got him **covered** when he decides he is ready for a Steemit cover image😉). He introduced me to @kryptocek and now we are all geared up for 2018! These two guys have been so appreciative and supportive.} https://steemitimages.com/DQmQp1wXQJTN9nq6MMnNTBifrpyepA9ZXc5ceJvWqM4QpnY/grow-pro-whitelist.png

Once we have established trust and a working relationship - you can absolutely expect far greater output from me. https://steemitimages.com/DQmQyZ6PWJNQBmR4obXBEFbCAWQZREzV3wTY3ADUdvxyYan/steem-work-grow-pro-divider.png

ESTIMATED PRICING

^{Price is determined prior to design and design will commence once payment is received. I take an average price at the time of proposal and the client will pay the equivalent USD value (which I will 'lock in' at time of agreement) in STEEM or SBD.} LEVEL | INFO | PRICE -- | -- | -- I. Barebones | basic cover image | ~ $10 equiv. SBD/STEEM II. Upgrade | enhanced cover image | ~ $20 equiv. SBD/STEEM III. Full-Steem | custom cover image | $30 equiv. SBD/STEEM and up ^{ESTIMATED PRICING: Every job is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all 😉} 🎟 | WHAT'S INCLUDED -- | -- Level I | you provide media, no further enhancements, you will receive [3] covers {alternates} - I will ensure ABOUT ME text is legible - no other modifications will be made other than sizing your image for the cover. Level II | you provide media (photos and png files) and I will provide 3 concept designs, which we will choose the best one, refine together and finalize. Test'n'tune included (sometimes it takes some refining) Level III | you provide media and I provide something out of this world. I will create 3 custom concepts to work from and we will refine the best one together. Completely custom options available. Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean I can't Steem it! NEED ME TO SOURCE IMAGES FOR YOU TO PICK? It is included! 3 images per your description, we will use your favorite of the 3. https://steemitimages.com/DQmQV4ZLX8npWR5kRh5bC1sVtRU6fam3QdgMGuWY5AKE3QB/grow-pro-divider.png

I can source media for you if you prefer - we can negotiate that into pricing on individual/per request basis.

@GROW-PRO's PAY IT FORWARD PROGRAM

For those who wish to get a cover design from me:! don't worry if you don't have a bunch of steem or sbd handy! There is another way! Please tell me why you would like a cover and what you might include if you had @grow-pro design you one. There is a PAY IT FORWARD program that I have that will place you on a list of mine. Just comment letting me know you would like to be added to the PAY IT FORWARD list. https://steemitimages.com/DQmNQKheQU67Rbuk67WH8B7qErDGhgTeAM3SLgaHbhoHdaB/growpro-pay-it-forward-header.png When I have clients that "pay it forward" (and I do), meaning they pay for their design and one for someone on my list, then I choose at random someone to design a cover for. It allows people that wish to use my service also help others. Let's spread a little love, right? https://steemitimages.com/DQmQV4ZLX8npWR5kRh5bC1sVtRU6fam3QdgMGuWY5AKE3QB/grow-pro-divider.png
