Let me break it down for you mark...

To start off, i always look for inspo, or like a "look" i want for my rentry... usually layout-wise but sometimes ill use it to find a nice colour pallet... To look for inspo you can scroll through peoples urls on rentry, or use pinterest, tumblr, and sometimes twitter
For my rentry that ill be walking you thru ill use pinterest have One, Two, and Three for inspo on how i wanna format/color/and layout my rentry

Ok so now you move onto collecting graphics... AGAIN use pinterest/tumblr/rentry resources LIKE MINE OHO or border or crusher.. those r my favvies to collect stufs.

Once youve picked out some stuff that you like, allign it however you like to achieve the "aesthetic" desired, for me mine ended up like This (I forgot to show the graphic without the Main graphic without the colouyring oops sorry.). Moving on with that, you can leave it how it is but usually i colour my graphics to get a mroe cohesive colour scheme. To do this you can fuck around with filters on ibis paint or use photopea, but i use ibis and it works... Pretty ok. I typically do Overlay, Soft light, Colour, Hue, or Multiply... anyways. Usually i mess around with my stuff like This and This After messing around with my colours i achieved Final produc t

Now comes the tricky part... inputting it into rentry. Oh no.

Except its not that hard LOL.. there is NO Shame IN MY GAME of using the metadata in my previous rentrys or in OTHER peoples rentrys. Youre gonna want to input your desired main graphic into "CONTAINER_MAX_WIDTH =" "CONTAINER_INNER_BACKGROUND_IMAGE =" and adjust "CONTAINER_INNER_BACKGROUND_IMAGE_REPEAT =" (usually no-repeat) "CONTAINER_INNER_BACKGROUND_IMAGE_POSITION =" (usually top) & "CONTAINER_INNER_BACKGROUND_IMAGE_SIZE =" However u desire to get it to fit perfectly

Omg yay youre done with the hardest parts!!!!!!!!!! Following that u can fuck around with the title, container padding, font, icon, and even follow up on adding actual text into ur graphic! Its very easy. Ill be linking the rentry i made below and you can pretty much use the code linked on there for a basis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Following that, add pixels and text, backgrounds if you wish, i can make a tut on that later. Recolouring pixels/backgrounds/borders is VERY simple i promise u its pretty muych the same to making ur graphic!!!!!!!!!!! But i will make a tutorial IF REQUESTED!!
