What is the best cover for the articles

A cover is the main picture that will be shown on social media, in snippets, and in the sections of the site. So, the first thing your reader will see is the cover, and then they will see the headline, lead, and so on. 

You should not make it boring and generic. Think about it – make it brighter and smarter. Take the time to work with this illustration. 

1. Use the object. This could be a screenshot, photo, or illustration.
2. A metaphor. In this article, we will use a spider as an example.
3. Show faces. Celebrity, blogger or young woman. 
4. Evoke emotions. Incorporate memes, humor, or sex into the cover design. However, be thoughtful and strategic in your approach
5. Intrigue. Use a spoiler or citation.
6. Information. Try a infographic or use a headline 
7. Animation. For the most important articles.
