SUPERIMPOSE AND PICSART
i. Open the template image as the background and the image you want to use as the outer edges as the foreground. Put the image on screen.
ii. Use the rectangle crop to crop to the white lines. Merge and then save.
iii. Next, get your screencaps you want to use for the outer edges that are blurry. Make sure to filter these beforehand. After doing this, go to Pics Art and select FX > Blur > Motion Blur and then set it how you want or use the settings I used below. Save.
iv. Open the original image as the background and the blured image as the foreground. Use the soft brush to erase certain areas as desired. Do this for both screencaps and save.
v. Open the saved template as the background and your screencap as the foreground. Put the image on screen and then place as desired and use the rectangle crop to crop as desired. Merge and repeat for other screencap as well.
vi. Open your middle image and put it on screen as well. You can either edit this image beforehand or not, it doesn't matter at all. Use the rectangle crop to erase unwanted areas and then merge. Save and filter.
vii. If you want the same blurry title as in the example, just add the title and other goods on your cover and then take it to Pics Art again and do the same process to blur it. Then, upload the blurry image as the background and the non blurry image as the foreground and use the soft brush to erase areas you don't want of course.

this was inspired by the cover below that I had seen on google, so credits go to them of course. I really do love this cover so much, I don't think I did it justice at all, but it's all about filtering for this cover. FILTERING IS SO IMPORTANT, DONT THINK ITS NOT !!
question; are you a black friday shopper? any funny stories to tell about past experiences?
