Self-creation of covers for their books is relevant for authors who publish materials, books, lessons, their own creativity in PSD format. There are a large number of online services for creating voluminous covers, but they impose certain restrictions. Possession of Photoshop makes it possible to simply create any covers for your materials.
The cover should be based on a high-quality template, therefore, initially you need to find and download a free template (mocap) on the Internet that matches the author's intention. This can be done in the "Pictures" service from Google. There is also an opportunity to set up a search for pictures with a license to use and modify.
We work in photoshop
Preparing the layout of the future cover. To do this, create a new A4 document and fill it with cover design elements.
Having saved the finished layout, open our downloaded template in the program and copy the cover layout onto it.
Using the "deformation" tool, along the path "editing - transforming - deforming", we simply "pull" the layout onto the template so that all corners and planes coincide.
Create the text layer at the end separately, then rotate it counterclockwise 90 degrees and transfer it to the end of the cover.
We save it in PSD format for possible later editing. Then we save it in.
It's that simple, if you have a Photoshop program, you can create any cover in 1 hour. With practice and experience, you can create professional quality covers.
