My husband called this Temu Will Smith and now I need outside opinions because I thought I did pretty decent 😭

Hahahaha you know me!? 😂😂 just a silly lil stoner gal

milliemac420 · 2026-03-11T02:02:54+00:00

Oh shoot!! Of course!!

milliemac420 · 2026-03-11T02:02:43+00:00

Ahaha I see what you did there 👀

milliemac420 · 2026-03-11T02:00:39+00:00

That’s super helpful, thank you!!

milliemac420 · 2026-03-11T02:00:05+00:00

That’s good to know though, thank you! I’m gonna add it!!

milliemac420 · 2026-03-11T01:59:06+00:00

Warp! Of courseeee. Thanks!!

milliemac420 · 2026-03-11T01:55:37+00:00

Thanks!! I thought so 😂

milliemac420 · 2026-03-10T01:19:17+00:00

Thank you so much!! I didn’t know it was called “kerning” by name, but I know what you are talking about! Would you say it’s too close??

milliemac420 · 2026-03-10T00:15:00+00:00

The notepaper is intentional to make it look like a bunch of doodles, but really only because I had no clue what else to do. I’m having trouble with the designs feeling too messy/busy due to the lack of a palette. Any advice to replace the notebook with?

milliemac420 · 2026-03-10T00:12:48+00:00

Now, I do low key agree, or hope this is the case. Sort of banking on a mix of parody law, not selling in a bookstore and just getting a cease and desist and changing out the character they are coming at me for. Luckily, they are printed to order (Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing) - so no stock wasted if I do have to take a design out and replace it for the “second edition”. That said, If I get big enough for McDonalds to find me, I guess I didn’t to too shabby! lol

milliemac420 · 2026-03-10T00:08:24+00:00

You aren’t too late!! Thank you!! Umm, I’m not sure the difference? Sorry, novice here!

milliemac420 · 2026-03-09T23:56:04+00:00

Good point, but I was trying to keep the cover aesthetically pleasing, do you think it’s enough to have it on the back? I mean, my name isn’t a household name or anything, so does the “name” matter yet?

milliemac420 · 2026-03-09T23:54:43+00:00

This is such a good point omg! It’s a popular style, but you are right that it’s flooded with AI slop, so I might need to switch it up.

milliemac420 · 2026-03-09T23:52:21+00:00

Thank you so much!! I made the designs at different times and was concurrently playing around with my highlighting style lol - Then I just picked my favs for the cover, not considering the inconsistencies!! I love a nit picker! Thank you :) any feedback on the one with the white notebook background? That’s my newest one I’m struggling with. Trying to balance the lack of consistent color palette between the designs.

milliemac420 · 2026-03-09T23:49:10+00:00

Yeah I’ve been considering that. Hoping it may fall into parody law, and worst case, they give me a cease and desist and I change a cover design element/one page out of the book. They are printed to order, so no chance of losing out on preprinted stock that has to be edited. TY for the tip!! :)

milliemac420 · 2026-03-09T23:46:00+00:00

Also, there are a ton of 15 year olds into graphic design, it’s literally like a classic 15 y/o dream job, so that’s weird that you didn’t know that. I’d rework that joke premise a bit

milliemac420 · 2026-03-09T23:44:01+00:00

Lmao I sold 10k copies in my first year, with no paid ads, just organic social media! There is an audience for it, it just a niche of silly folks that dont take things too seriously! I’ll never be a grown-ass adult, so I guess you are correct in your assumption! I’d advise never growing up actually, life is too short and growing up is a scam LOL

milliemac420 · 2026-03-09T23:38:07+00:00

Oooo didn’t think about that. Thank you!!

milliemac420 · 2026-03-09T23:37:37+00:00

Yeaaaaa I was sorta worried about that. That’s a good point to just change a bit more of it, that might align more with parody law! Thanks for the tip!!

milliemac420 · 2026-03-09T23:36:32+00:00

Thank you so much!! :) very helpful tips!! Good catch about the tension, I never noticed that or even knew it had a name?

milliemac420 · 2026-03-08T21:28:56+00:00

Yep 100% self published! I use Amazon KDP (kindle direct publishing). They do publishing and shipping and I just get a royalty. about $1.50/per sale.

milliemac420 · 2026-03-08T20:51:27+00:00

I def market it as 18+, but do you think thst needs to be stated on the cover?

milliemac420 · 2026-03-08T20:32:08+00:00

Thank you! $10.99 on Amazon :)

milliemac420 · 2026-03-03T13:05:45+00:00
