【How-To Guide】Creating Cover Candidates for Your Profile Book: Try Your Hand at THE FIRST TAKE-Style Image Editing!

2022.03.17 published

Check out the thumbnails of THE FIRST TAKE♩

THE FIRST TAKE is a YouTube channel where artists perform in a single take in front of a microphone.

The First Take also has distinctive characteristics in its 【thumbnails】.

Each video features

🎤 A vertical line down the center

🎤 The artist's name at the top of the screen

🎤 "F/T Songs n° [number]" at the bottom of the screen

(FT is an abbreviation for First Take, and the number indicates the order of uploads)

This design is unified, making it immediately recognizable as a First Take video.

The color of the line varies by artist, but it seems to be somewhat tailored to the individual or the song.

You might be able to create a First Take-style edit

I thought it would be fun to pay homage to the First Take thumbnail by using my own photos, so here’s an introduction♡

I've already created one, how does it look...?

It’s a wedding photo in the style of THE FIRST TAKE♡

How to Create a First Take-style Edit

It's simple to make♡

①

Open an image in Picsart, go to Paint ➡ Shape ➡ Select the leftmost square ➡ Place a vertical line of your preferred color and thickness in the center

➡Install Picsart here (free)

②

Use Phonto to add text above and below the image

It’d be great if the font could resemble the one used in the official First Take.

The "Poppins" font is quite similar, so be sure to check it out.

➡Download the font here (free)

Place the characters with some spacing in between.

For the text content,

At the top, include

"Name & Name"

"Last Name Family"

"Happy Wedding"

"LOVE"

"Just Married"

And at the bottom,

"Initial / Initial Wedding n° Anniversary"

"Last Name FAMILY n° Anniversary"

These ideas seem like they would work well♡

Also for the Cover of a Profile Book♩

An idea for processing a wedding photo in the style of The First Take's thumbnail♡

If done well, it could be interesting to use it as the cover for a profile book.

It’s easy, so definitely give it a try♡

You could even include a touching message such as "THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY" for your one-year wedding anniversary.
