Tutorial by Pandy0405 because she has nothing better to do

Hi! I'm Pandy, and I'm going to be showing you how to make a simple flower based cover.

*note* I do not take credit for the pngs, backgrounds, and fonts used in this tutorial. They all belong to their respectful owners.

Step 1. Find a background!
For this step, you just need to find a background that will compliment the model that we will be putting on this cover. For the tutorial, I will be using this background that I found on Google:

I've already went ahead and added a filter to this image on PixArt. The filter I used is "comic".

Now from here, you can go to either PixArt or superimpose. There will be different results, but they both will be high quality covers. Also, if you're going to do a lot of cropping with this, I suggest superimpose because that's easier (for me, at least) to crop images and such.

The PixArt way:

Select your background (mine is 640 by 1000 pixels) and click the add photos button. From there, click your png (you can add up to ten at a time) and select add.
Resize the image to your liking. Then, you can click "effects" and find one that you'd like, but this steps optional. After doing that, you can also mess with the settings on the bottom of your screen. Finally, I added a border around the image.
What I did was:
- Comic Filter
- If you plan on doing a border around your image, I recommend going into crop and cropping out the transparent-ness
- The final border I did was maximum white on the outer border.
And that resulted to this:

Now, you can add another filter on top of all this, but that's your choice. I added "stenciler one", and my finished edit was:

Save by clicking the arrow.

The superimpose way:

Select your background image.
For the foreground, use your png.
You should have this:

Mess around with the size in transform, then add a filter under filter (I did fx 8). At this point, you can also add a filter to the background by clicking "background" in filters (I did fx 8 for this as well), or you can save the non-filtered image and add a filter to both the fore and back grounds on PixArt. There,you can also add the border if you want one.

Go to home and click the second icon to the right to save the image.

Finally, I'm going to add text to the PixArt image using Phonto because that one looks a little better than the superimpose one.

Amethyst for the title and the author (I made up one)
Roboto Thin for the watermark

And there you have it! It was a really simple cover to make, but you don't even want to know how long it takes to make it a tutorial. Phew!

QotD because I just want to ask this: How long have you all been graphic designing?

Love you wanderers,
