All language subtitles for 3. How to Design your Book Cover

Hi, guys, welcome back.

So in this video, I'm going to teach you how to finally create your book cover using canvas.

So again, Cannava is a free platform where you can design absolutely everything, including the book

cover that we are about to do right now.

So once you're here on your dashboard, click on create a design, go to custom dimensions, and then

in the measurements area, go back to Bacalao, copy the full width

pasted over here.

Do the same for the highest.

And you see over here, you have pixels, inches, millimeters, centimeters, you want to choose inches

and you click on create a new design.

So there you have it.

This is your cover.

Now, if you recall, we downloaded this cover template from the Amazon CDPR website.

I want you to extract the A PNG file and convert it into a JPEG.

I suggest that you convert it into a JPEG because Kanwal won't let you upload the page file.

It's just too big.

Or you can resize the file into something smaller.

In my case, I just converted it into JPEG and then once you upload it, you set it on top of your cover

like so.

OK, so now that that's done, let's design our book.

Let's make this a bit lighter so we can see what we are designing on so we can work on our cover properly.

Let's make a cover black.

Let's add our text.

That's true.

He asked mom and world.

I get to make it a little bit smaller.

Put it in the center.

So let's check if it really is in the center.

OK, I think it looks good.

Now, let's add our elements.

Add the photo of this mom with her child.

Let's copy this text.

Let's put sure enough to make it smaller, center it again.

And let's double check to see if everything is in place now let's delete our guide and let's change

the

cover channel.

And downloaded as PDF print.

OK, so that's done.

Now we are ready to upload our manuscript and our cover on the Amazon platform.

I'll see you then.
