Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me and that is why you're here today.

But seriously, hello. Today we are going to make the cover shown above. You'll need the following apps:
Phonto
PicsArt
Aviary

Now, come on let's get to it. I know that we can do it!

Step One

Open your background in PicsArt. Crop it to the cover size 1536x2400 (yes, I finally found out the dimensions).

You can add a filter to it add textures and maybe put stuff on top of it to give it depth, it's up to you, but this is a pretty simple cover. I ended up with this:

Step Two

If you read the last tutorial (7), I explain how you can get a watercolour sticker from Aviary. You'll want another one, but in the case you don't have one, I've kindly put one below:

Step Three

Open the image in Phonto and add the necessary text. I used the following fonts:

The whole point it to have your text overlap, so make sure you do that! Add anything else you'd want or need and ta da! Your cover is done!

A super simple, but I think very nice cover. If you ever make a cover inspired by this tutorial or any of my other ones, please show me.

If you need help with anything, anything at all, I'm just a comment away. If you want a cover you can comment on the Slots chapter.

Anyway,

Until next time, you know you love me
