Book Cover Tips

33. || another gilbert cover

Someone had requested how to make a cover like @glbert's story titled Another Gilbert, so here it is. I tried my best to make it look similar (and stydia themed lol) but yeah, here's the steps!

i. Open Pixlr and create a collage. You'll have to scroll over until you find the four slot one, or if you want more/less just use a different one. I had mine set on thickness to 2 and then it's on freeform. Just adjust it to how big you'd like it to be on the book cover.

ii. Save that collage and then open Superimpose. Open a white background 2:3 or another colored background like I have above as the background and the collage as the foreground.

iii. Adjust the collage onto the cover where you're satisfied with it. Try and keep it as straight as you can, but if you can't, I suggest to try doing this same thing but in Phonto. You can add the collage on top of a plain white image on there and use the center buttons on there to get it straight.

iv. Merge the images. Either make a PNG or find one on google and open it as the foreground. Place it on the image to where it is desired and merge again. Save.

v. Open in Phonto and add the title either where you want it or like how I have it above. As always, use a filter or open it in Polarr to make it more colorized if you'd like and then you're done.

Hoping to post at least one more tutorial tonight!
