peekaboo [cover tutorials]

BOY I KNEW ;

IF YOU USE
THE FOLLOWING TUTORIAL
PLEASE GIVE CREDIT
WHERE THE CREDIT IS DUE.

STEP ONE) open up a color background and then a white background as your foreground. Make the whit background smaller so where the color one is its border. Add a piece of the background that the picture your faceclaim has and add it to the white. Merge when done.

STEP TWO) now add the picture of your faceclaim. Choose the soft brush and erase and blend the top part into the background. Make it messy like I did because I think it looks good that way. Then turn the picture black and white. Bare with me if you think it looks ugly or funny. Merge.

STEP THREE) now pick a image of the same color as your big background. Stretch and messy around with it where it covers your face claim's cheek and nose area as if they were blushing. Again pick up the soft brush and use it to make it more blended out. Merge and save your cover when done.

STEP FOUR) go to Phonto and choose a blank background and type in your title. I used the font Baskerville. Save when done.

STEP FIVE) open up a random notebook paper texture and add your title. Save when done. Then open back up your cover and add the texture down. Use a brush and brush anything you don't want from the title part. I don't know what to really call it, I guess tracing but just copy what I did. When done save your cover to your gallery.

OPTIONAL) go to PicsArt and go to the drawing tab. Draw little stars or hearts around your cover. I kept the size at 10.

STEP SIX) filter your cover and add your name, no quote. Then you're done !

(This cover may not be for everyone so please don't be rude and say "oh this looks ugly." or "wtf is this." Some people may like this type of cover and it may fit certain books. I thought I'll try this type of cover out. It's a mixture of two covers in one. I found a simpler and "easy" way to do it on Superimpose since I don't have any of those computer programs. Anyways enjoy lovers.)
