This might look a little complicated, but it's super easy guys I promise. Shoutout to michonnes for giving me the idea!
i. Open a white background in superimpose and your PNG as the foreground (make sure your PNG has enough shown, preferable below the shoulders, so that the effect will work right). Merge the image on the white background.
ii. Open the image below and set it on screen. Make sure to erase the top white part on the image so that it doesn't block out your person (example below) Merge.
iii. To make the background colored, I just uploaded the color as the foreground and set it on darken then erased the color on the person so that it didn't darken their face (lighter background colors are a lot easier to use) merge and save.
iv. Open in Phonto and add your title and everything. For the cover up above I used Code Bold once again but played around with it so that the letters weren't just in one straight line. Save and you're done!
Don't be afraid to ask if you have any questions!
