Whatever you hold in your hands: a disc, a book, a glossy magazine, its content can be identified by its appearance. It is he who must tell succinctly and briefly about the information hidden behind him. If necessary or if you want to, you can draw the cover yourself. Let it be the "face" of a love story - a girl against the backdrop of exotic nature. However, you can come up with your own plot.

Instructions
Step 1
Create an 8.5 / 11 document and 300dpi for printing. Start with a radial gradient. To do this, double click on the background layer to activate the Layer Style menu. After that click on Gradient Overlay. Choose a gradient color that matches your idea. For example, turquoise blue.
Step 2
Place the photo of the exotic landscape with the next layer. Apply Soft Light Blending Mode.
Step 3
Next, make the clouds effect. This can be achieved in the following way. Create a new layer and fill it with black paint. Go to the menu Filter / Render / Clouds. Then erase the top of the clouds with a soft brush. Apply a Soft Light 35% Blending Layer.
Step 4
Create a new layer again, with the Elliptical Marquee Tool draw a circle and fill it with yellow color. Apply a Gaussian filter with 45% opacity.
Step 5
Carefully cut out the photo of the girl using the Pen Tool. After that, right click on the path and select Load Path as Selection. Drag it onto the main sheet with the Move tool. The layer should be on top of the others.
Step 6
After that add white lines to make the cover more expressive. To do this, create another new layer using the Rectangular Marquee, select a part of the leaf. Use a gradient and fill from white to transparent. Erase the edges of the resulting image and apply the Overlay mode. Rotate the gradient and place it behind the model. Duplicate the layer several times and place in different places.
Step 7
Create a title that is supposed to be the title of the book, and don't forget to include the author. To do this, create a new layer, select the Type Tool. Choose a font to your liking and type in the title of the book.
