Today I will be sharing with you guys how to make a text based book cover. This is just my way of doing things, you are more than welcome to follow any other tutorial that you find easier or more effective (let me know about it too! 😁)
**Also contains a mini tutorial on how to import web fonts in ibispaintx.**
A text based cover is basically the one which concentrates more on the text, it's placement and style are actually the centre of attention for such covers. Typography covers are also similar but usually there isn't any base image involved, just solid colored backgrounds like textures or gradients.
So we're going to get creative with our text cuz there isn't any model or other stuff used that could save the day.
For the purpose of this tutorial I used the ibispaintx android app and all the resources are from pixabay or my own.
We'll be creating this cover:

Import your base image and when you are content with the placement, press tick. You can blur parts of the background with the blur tool and soft brush if you want to, mine was already blurred so I didn't have to.
