🧐 About

This is one of my first Python projects, hope you get the most out of it :)

I used it to sell Fitness and Christian quotes on Fiverr for a while.

💭 How it works

#1 Content

After choosing the topics I wanted, I got a list of quotes and a stock of 50+ background images - both related to the picked topic.

#2 Prepping

After getting enough images, I run those 2 functions:

helper.cut_images_new(): to crop the images to the desired dimensions.

helper.darken_images(): to darken the images so the text looks better.

#3 Editing

The script works by taking a background image from '/sources/images/{topic}' and a quote from the .txt file, and combining them into 1 photo.

I am using PILLOW to generate the text in different fonts and combine it with the background image.

All the images are copyright-free from stock footage websites, and the fonts are copyright-free as well.

🏁 How to run

Follow the instructions given below to get this script up and running on your device.

  1. Download this repository as zip file / using git.
  2. Open the folder.
  3. Make sure all the required modules are installed. (pip install -r requirements.txt)
  4. Open main.py
  5. set the number of posts you want, your logo, and choose a topic (It can be one of the available topics, or you can add another one, how to is explained here)
TOPIC = "fitness"
SHOW_AUTHOR = True
CUSTOMER_NAME = "your_name"
NUM_OF_POSTS = 35
  1. RUN!
  2. And that's it! In about 5 seconds, you will have 100+ generated images!
  3. You can find your images in the generated/your_name/ directory.

📋 Available Topics

  1. Christian
  2. Fitness

To create a new topic, please follow these steps:

  1. Create a {topic}.txt file inside /sources/text_data
  2. Run "helper.create_new_topic_dirs(TOPIC, project_dir)" to auto create all the directories needed
  3. Add images to /sources/images/{topic}
  4. Run "helper.cut_images_new(images_folder, images_folder_cropped)" to crop the images to 1080 X 1350 (you can change the dimension inside the function)
  5. Run "helper.darken_images(images_folder_cropped, images_folder_cropped_darken)" if you want to make the images darker (it makes the text look better)

ANS THAT'S IT! :) Feel free to create a Pull Request if you want to help others as well!
