How to design your own novel coverIf you want to design your own novel cover, you can follow these steps:
1. ** Prepare the background picture **: You can go to Petal Network to search for the "novel cover base picture" to obtain resources. You can prioritize the pictures marked with "Follow and discuss". You can also use the pictures without special labels. You should avoid using the pictures marked with "prohibited commercial use".
2. ** Using editing for preliminary processing (Take the mobile version as an example)**
- He imported the selected base map, found the adjustment button in the tool bar, set the ratio to 3:4, and then adjusted the size of the image to the same size as the canvas (you can push and pull the image with two fingers).
- Enter text: click on the text button and then click on the new text to enter the title of the book. If the text has different sizes and styles, you need to enter the phrases separately. He chose the text layer, clicked the edit button, and then clicked the style to set the color and stroke; he chose a suitable font as the main character, adjusted the spacing and size of the characters, and then clicked the flower character to choose a nice style.
- If the font felt empty, he could find the picture-in-picture in the tool bar and add a picture that was already stored in the phone. If the picture had a white background, click on the Chroma Matting button in the tool bar, click on the Color picker to move the ring that appeared on the picture to the white area, click on the intensity button to adjust the value until the white area disappeared, and then put the icon in the appropriate position.
- You can change the style of the main character according to your needs. You also need to enter the author's name and continue to adjust it until you are satisfied. Finally, click the export button in the upper right corner to export the video (the video is actually still).
- He opened his phone's photo album, played the video, and took a screenshot. He cut out the excess parts, leaving only the cover image.
3. ** Using Love Pen, Think Picture X to make final adjustments and size settings (Take the mobile version as an example)**
- He opened the software and clicked "Let's talk about it later" on the update page. Then, he clicked on my gallery and clicked on the plus sign in the lower left corner. He entered 600*800 in the custom size and clicked OK to enter the editing interface.
- He clicked on the layer button at the bottom right corner, clicked on the camera icon to import the cover image, then selected the middle button and zoomed the image to the canvas size with two fingers. He clicked on the green tick at the bottom right corner, and a prompt appeared to cancel it.
- He clicked on the layer button, clicked on the camera layer, and added the highlight image (no need to adjust the size, just click on the green tick). Then, he clicked on the layer button in the lower right corner, clicked on the white triangle next to the standard, and selected "Screen" to hide the black part. He clicked on the top of the screen to return to the editing interface.
- He clicked on the brush in the lower left corner, clicked on the move button, and chose the first move button to adjust the position of the highlight. He could also copy the highlight layer and adjust it to the appropriate position. Finally, he saved the picture.
In addition, you can also use the computer version of the relevant software to create the cover of the novel:
1. ** Prepare Material **: Prepare a base map, a picture-in-picture material (the background should be a solid color, and the content should be characters, items, special effects, etc.), and a highlight map (such as the sun, stars, etc., and the back should be all black or all white).
2. ** Computer version editing operation (Take editing as an example, other similar software operations are the same)**
- The three materials were imported, and the bottom map was placed into the guide rail to set the size to 3:4. The picture-in-picture was placed on the guide rail above the bottom map and then matted.(You can choose to key in the upper right corner, click the sword symbol on the right side of the color picker, click the color picker, and then move the mouse to the picture to show a circle. The black square in the center is the color area to be cut out. You can choose the color matting or smart matting method to increase the intensity to make the color area disappear and become transparent. The main content of the picture-in-picture can be cut out and placed in the appropriate position in the background.)
- For word processing: click on the text in the upper left corner, click on the plus sign to add text, adjust the position of the text in the upper right corner, and allocate colors, bubbles, flowers, and so on.
- [Highlight processing: In the top right corner of the basic column, the left tick of the blending option was selected. The blending mode was chosen to brighten, and the Opacity was chosen to be 100%. Then, the position of the highlight image could be placed.] Finally, he could use it after a full-screen screenshot.
There was also a one-stop service platform like Mo Xing Cover, which gathered many cover artists and could also provide services related to the creation of novel covers.
