IF YOU USE THE
FOLLOWING TUTORIAL
PLEASE GIVE CREDIT
WHERE THE CREDIT IS DUE.
I did these for the people who want into get into cover making but just don't know where to start. I hope you build some inspiration from these and mess around with these type of covers. No matter how awful you think it looks, keep going at it.And for those who like to have their covers in a theme but just don't know what theme to do.
You can just screenshot the template and go from there.
btw these covers work with PicsArt.
1) BUILDING BLOCK
Open up whatever you're using with the template as your background. Place your main picture in the middle (where the black is) and place it on screen. Then for the white parts you will need a solid color that matches your main picture. Place that on multiply. Add a lightning texture over it, place a filter, a title, and your done !
2) OVERVIEW
Open a white background with your face claim on it. I recommend only using one but is up to you. Crop a picture that goes well with what your face claim is wearing and place it over their face like I did. After that place a filter and the needed cover stuff.
3) BETRAYED THROUGH LINES
Out of all these covers this has to be the most "difficult one"
Get two pictures that look alike. One of your face claim and another of a background. Place the background one on screen and on the black bigger square. Then add the one of your face claim to the white square and place it under multiply. Depending on what you're using, you can either just crop the picture till it fits perfectly in the square or use some type of crop tool to do that. Don't filter yet.
FOR YOUR TITLE you're going to go to phonto and open up a plain white image. Type down your title and save. Open it back with your unfinished cover and place it in the middle. Again depending on what you're using, you can crop two skinny lines from a plain white background and place them over the title like something's cutting it or get a cropping tool to do that.
(You don't have to do that step, it's optional if you like^)
Now filter it and put the rest of the needed stuff.
4) PM OR AM
Add whatever picture you want and go to the drawing tab on PicsArt and start outlining these weird lines on your face claim's face. You can copy mine for reference. Place a filter on it and copy the title format like mine.
This is probably the most easiest cover in this chapter and it's also my favorite.
5) A WAY WITH WORDS
add your image in the template, place it in black and white, save, and copy the title format.
(Literally these covers have been in my gallery for more than a week or something. Stupid wattpad was acting up and not letting me finsh this chapter without it freezing and deleting all my work. Fuck you. Anyways I hope you enjoy these! Remember please give credit if you decide to use any of these themes. )
