Book Cover Creation: Photoshop

     I am going to create my book cover using photoshop and I will both describe the process and the design decisions.

The first step was creating a  white canvas, it was A4 size, portrait orientation and resolution 300 ppir . I did this going to the top menu and clicking on file and then clicking on new.

    For the front cover I will use a draw I made . I  clicked on file and open. Then I selected the picture I wanted. I also selected all clicking on select on the top menu and then I clicked on edit (also on top menu) copied and pasted it on my original Canvas. Finally I used the move tool  and resized the image to fill the canvas. 

After that I added the tittle of the book and my name. To accomplish this text I clicked on the text on the left bar and chose the font "OpenDyslexic3" and the chose the size of 48 pts.

Finally, I saved the image in PSD and JPEG. To do so I clicked on file on the top menu and then "save as" to save PSD and "save copy" to save as JPEG.
