Hello guys! So I bet if you're on this specific chapter if you want to make a book cover that's similar to the one above, i will be explaining to you how you can add a simple silhouette to your book cover!

APPS THAT WILL BE NEEDED;
— superimpose
— phonto
— We Heart It/Google

Step one:
So the first step is to simply find a photo of a person or thing! For example, I went on google and looked up 'tumblr girl, side profile standing' and found my photo! It could either be a full on photo or a png ( pngs are typically easier to edit, but for this specific cover I used an actual photo! )

Step two:
Go to superimpose and choose any color you would like the background to be ( remember to choose the 2:3 ratio, as that's what the ratio is for wattpad book covers )

Step three:
Alright, so next you will be adding the actual photo. Once you have the actual photo, remove the background so it's only the person!

Step four:
After you have the actual image go to the home button and press the two squares ( they're in the top left corner ), once you get onto that press import foreground and press 'pick color' once you get to that pick the color you want and make sure to also press 'replace but keep mask'. It will be the second option.

Step five:
So this is the final step and I find it the easiest! Put the photo wherever you would like it and then save the photo! After doing that you will end up with something like this

And that's it! After doing that just add the books title and your name/username/penn name or whatever you want!
