There are a few main ways to make your image stand out from everyone else’s. Whether you’re posting on Twitter or crafting something for an actual album cover. For instance, you could focus on having an interesting photo subject, something that you think would draw people’s attention because it’s not something you’d see every day.
Then, consider opting for contrasting colors so that your design pops. Do your research and take a peek at what your competitors are doing, and either elevate your image so it’s better than theirs or do the opposite of what everyone else is.

Pics that are amusing, relatable, interesting, or educational are bound to get a lot of attention on the internet. And it feels like the Twitter page mainly focuses on piquing people’s interest with unusual, captivating images.
While plenty of the featured pics are actual photographs (possible with some light photo-editing), others are AI-generated images that also have a slightly surreal, unearthly quality to them. And though we personally prefer the photos because they’re far more detailed and create a more subtle atmosphere, some of the AI stuff isn’t half-bad either.

Of course, when you post similar content to other Twitter users, it can be quite difficult to stand out from the crowd. Especially if you’re competing against well-established pages with loyal followings.
Not only do you have to grow your own following, you can’t just repost everything that everyone else has already shared. You can’t just be a copycat, you have to find a way to curate the content in an interesting, gripping way.

During an earlier interview for another article about the genre of images that could be used as album covers, Bored Panda spoke to professional photographer, music lover, and album artwork enjoyed, Dominic Sberna, from Ohio. He explained to us that there’s a lot of subjectivity involved in whether or not a particular image can be considered to be artistic or not.
“I’d say anything abstract and out of the ordinary would fit the bill here. If it disrupts a lackadaisical scene or is not of the norm of anything, I’d consider that an artistic approach or even avant-garde if you will,” the photographer previously told Bored Panda his take on art in photography.

“Lighting, framing, all of the elements of a good composition would typically be thrown out the window to make something ‘artsy.’ But, on the other hand, maybe they need to be confined to that,” the expert pointed out that people’s opinions and experiences will shape what they think of photos. An image that seems full of meaning to someone might not get much of a reaction from someone else.
“If you fall in line with the norm, you’ll be hard to be noticed. By doing something different than your peers, you’ll stand out. Another way to get noticed is to make your work THAT MUCH better than others,” photographer Dominic had shared his thoughts on the importance of standing out from everyone else, wherever you might be sharing your images.

“Keep plugging away and take your work to the highest level,” the photographer noted that what truly matters, above everything else, is focusing on being creative. Something else that’s absolutely essential is meeting your own standards, instead of listening to just outside opinions.

“Most importantly, do what you want to do and don’t crumble to the pressure of your peers. So long as you’re happy with the art that you’re creating, that’s what matters the most. No amount of money can create happiness within yourself as an artist. It is extremely important to take care of yourself by being true to your own artistic vision,” he said.
