SUPERIMPOSE

i. Open a background of your choice or the background in the add ons and change the hue or anything like that if you'd like under the filter tab. Open your first png as the foreground and place it in the center. Go to the mask tab and select the gradient tool and erase a little of the bottom of your PNG. Merge.

ii. To help make your cover look more eye appealing, what I usually do is upload a color I like that matches the cover as the foreground and put it on hue or another overlay mode. Then, I use the brush and eraser to change the color of whatever I want such as things like clothes and jewelry. Merge when done.

iii. Upload a colored image of your choice as the foreground (I used white) and place it at the bottom of your cover. Use the rectangle crop to erase the middle part of the image to make a box like figure. Feel free to lower the opacity or do anything you'd like with it; I put mine on soft light. Merge when done.

iv. Upload your second PNG as the foreground and place it over the box image and then merge. Save and filter. Make sure to add your title as well. 

v. Upload your cover back in Superimpose if you'd like and add more textures. Feel free to use the one in the add ons. For the white gradient image, just upload it as the foreground and put it on overlay and lower the opacity. Save and you're done!

 Save and you're done!

I had made a cover similar to this awhile back, but I totally forgot to show you guys how I had did it, haha. 

in other news, make sure to check out my contest going on! I've gotten a lot of entries so far and I'm already blown away. I have no idea how I'm supposed to choose a cover honestly...

question; favorite soda?
