Hello! I'm going to be breaking down exactly how I make covers in this little tutorial, as requested by someone!
I'll start off by showing you the cover I'm going to be breaking down.

I made this cover yesterday for on the Wattpad Forums.

This is what my screen looks like when I'm working on something. Ignore the Photoshop at the bottom, I am working on another project on there separate from this one.
TOOLS:
PicMonkey
Pixabay (for images)
Adobe Creative Cloud (for one image that I got a long time ago)
Getty Images (From PicMonkey) (for one image)
TIME:
This took approximately 52 minutes for me to complete, with an additional 15 minutes of searching for images.
While there are covers that can take me up to 2-4 hours (or a few days) to finish, I normally stay away from spending too much time on a cover unless I am getting paid to create it. A lot of the time, finding the right images and making them fit is the hardest part of the cover-creating process.
