Here's a tutorial on how I make aesthetic wallpapers!
We're going to be using the app Nichi everyday. This is the Android version so I'm not sure if there's any differences on the iOS version, but I doubt it.
This is what the app looks like when you open it. I have the free version so some of the templates are locked, but I'm going to just click create and make my own.
When you open the editor, you'll be prompted to put in your own pictures. As you can see, I've got my pictures organized so they're easy to find and use, obviously this is optional, just a suggestion. You can upload up to 9 pictures in an edit, but for this I'm just going to be using 7. You can choose to do all pictures of people, some aesthetic and some people, or all aesthetic. obviously, it's up to you.
When you insert the pictures obviously it won't look perfect. (usually)
You're going to use the second button from the left to change the border style. Double tapping on a picture will allow you to add or decrease the filter and change the crop, but for the border I chose, that won't be necessary.
The next step is to organize the pictures to look how you want. Generally, a picture of people (in this case Ethan and Mark) is going to be front and center. Notice how the pink pictures are spread out so it isn't too concentrated. This is a useful strategy when making pride flag wallpapers.
Once you've arranged your pictures, it's a good idea to find a nice background. It's important that the background doesn't clash but still stands out. Nichi has a lot of good solid color backgrounds and a few more intricate, but if there's something you want as a background picture, just enlarge it until it covers the whole canvas and then make sure it's the bottom layer. Backgrounds are found on the middle button.
For this one I wanted to add some tape. You can find these in the next button right. I used colors that are in the pictures or similar to them. Nichi Also has clear tape and silver tape as well as some fun patterned ones but I wanted to stay basic with this.
I wanted to add a big sticker in the background to make it more interesting, so I used a ripped graph paper sticker and enlarged it until it fit the screen. This creates contrast from the black in the pictures and makes it softer.
Finally, add some little extra stickers. In this case, it was a flower and a pink circle, which was layered on the bottom.
You can also add text and get a little more fancy, which I can explain if anyones interested, but that's a basic tutorial! Click save in ths top right, save it as a template if you'd like, and then it'll be in your camera roll for posting.
Pros of using Nichi:
Nichi doesnt leave any watermarks on your edits unless you put them there.
The free version works well and has many options for things to use
The upgrade is only $1.99 a month!
The app is updated monthly with new stuff for premium and free users.
It's super easy and fun!
