So this is a trend now, where you put a fake cover on pro a book to make it look real. Poorly worded, sorry, but just look above for what I'm going to show you.
Now since I am a sad a lowly peasant and can't afford photoshop I can't change the perspective of my pictures. Which was really annoying as I could not do mock covers as most of the templates were all sideways.
Anyways I found this and it's saved me:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
So what you do is open up the above image in PicsArt.
Add your image:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
Fill the cover with your image and change the filter to multiply. Erase the excess cover that goes off the template.
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
In the end you should have something like this:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
save your image and your done.
Pretty simple. Which is great, and it actually looks pretty cool as well. Let me know what you think in the comments.
(Note the image in the media is blurry as when I was testing this out I did it in the paint tab and it makes pictures blurry. You should have no problem with that if you don't go into paint to do this.)
