STEP ONE: BASE & STICKERS
Open Picsart and start with any solid color background.
Crop it to either 512x800 or 1024x1600.
Add your first photo and place it how you want.
Go to Stickers. You'll only be using a few:
A camera focus frame (place it around your FC's face).
Two polaroid sticker frames (position them bottom left/right).
✨ Sticker resources are listed at the end!

STEP TWO: INSERT REMAINING PHOTOS
Tap Apply to lock in your stickers.
Tap Add Photo and select your remaining two pictures.
Crop both into squares to fit the polaroid frames.
Place and size them over the stickers neatly.
Use the Eraser tool to erase just enough so the tape on the polaroids is visible—this gives it a realistic look.
(Don't worry if it's not perfect—just aim for neatness!) ✨

STEP THREE: ADD TITLE TEXT
Save your photo and open Phonto.
Tap the screen and add your title.
Align it to center and set font size. (i did 150, sizing factors on length of title)
Use the Move tool to center it on your cover (you'll fine-tune at the end).
Tap Style to customize your text.

STEP FOUR: COLOR PATTERN TEXT
Tap the three-line icon by the color selector.
Use the Eyedropper tool to pull 4–5 colors from your photo. Save them.
Tap Create Color Pattern and switch to any Gradient, whichever you prefer.
Add your saved colors into the pattern slots and arrange as you like.

STEP FIVE: ADD OUTLINE & SHADOW
In Style, tap Stroke → choose white for the outline.
Tap Style again → set Shadow to middle grey → choose the second-to-last shadow option.
Tap Done and Move again to re-center your text if needed.

STEP SIX: USERNAME (Optional but cute!)
Add another text layer with your username.
Set the font size to 25.
Choose white as the text color.
Tap Style → go to Blend → select Overlay for that transparent/see-through look.
Place it at the top or bottom using the Move tool.
Tap Save.

STEP SEVEN: FINAL TOUCH
Open Polarr and add your favorite filter or PSD.
For this tutorial, I used one from the Featured filters section!
Tap Save and boom—you're DONE!
Hope you love your new cover!
