Here's another really simple cover. It's really cute in my opinion plus I used my girl Hailey for it so it's automatic yes from me.

Here's what it would look like on your profile:

Let's Begin.

Step One.
Go on to superimpose and select the film template (↓︎) as your Background and your photo of choice as your Foreground.

You're then going to click Transform and select Screen

Step Three.
Normally, I edit the photo after I put the text, but with some covers like this one, I like to do it beforehand.

So go on Afterlight and edit your photo as you please.

I personally...
- Lowered the exposure.
- Increased the shadows.
- Added grain.
- Added a dusty effect.

Now as I type this, I realize it would've been smarter to edit the photo way even before we put it on the template, but whatever. This happens a lot with me, but it's nothing we can't fix.

Go back to Superimpose and select the 'reload' option. Your last session is saved. Anyways, have your edited photo as the Foreground and just cut out the edges again. Chances are the screen option is still on so click Transform and then Normal. Now it's all fixed.

Save the photo again.

I'm doing a quick little "film cover" series. There's going to be three more covers similar to this one but at the same time are different. I'm going to work on them right now. I'll update them the second I'm done.

Don't forget to tag me if you try making your own covers! I wanna see!
