STEP ONE ; On a blank canvas, change your background color to whatever you want

STEP TWO ; add a textured image and change the blend mode to whatever you like.

STEP THREE ; add your png. For this cover I suggest them sitting

STEP FOUR ; add your title. Go to effects, transform and choose wave. I'll show you my settings, but you most likely will have to adjust yours differently, depending on the render. Move the title so it looks like it flows with the body.

STEP FIVE ; choose a color and brush that color on the cover. You can use any brush you want, but I did the airbrush option. Change the blend mode to whatever you like.

STEP SIX ; Paint the canvas white (I used the same brush as the last step) and change the blend mode. I changed it to hue and turned down the opacity.

STEP SEVEN ; add another texture. Do something like a bokeh (I think that's how its spelled). This particular one I had made, change the color to better fit my cover, used blur and then changed the blend.

STEP EIGHT ; Save and add filter

If you want the texture with the circles, here it is

Just adjust the color to whatever you need. I always recommend blurring the image. It just looks better like that.

So I wasnt planning on actually making thos tutorial today. In fact, the original plan was fo go into work. But I kinda got banned from work for the day 👉🏼👈🏼

Basically, I'm sick. I called out Thursday. I went in Friday. Quentin saw I was sick, got Ryan to come in for me Saturday (which technically was suppise to be my day off anyway, but I agreed to cover for someone else), and Quentin told me that I better not show up. I'm feeling better for the most part so I figured I'd post this tutorial today.

So yeah.
