Welcome to step 1 on your journey to become a graphic master! The first subject we'll be talking about is measures. 

It sounds really boring: What is there to know about measures? But there is a lot I can tell you about it!

Step 1

A wattpad cover is approximately 256 by 400, or 512 x 800 pixels. I won't explain to you what a pixel is. It's just a type of measurement, like cm, mm, dm, inches etc! This is the size you want to have to create a fitting wattpad cover.

It doesn't matter what kind of software you use when you want to change the measures of your file.  You will always have an option for that. 

Step 2: Creating a 512 x 800 file 

You might be thinking: What is this simple shit? I don't need this! That's allright. If you know how to do this, just leave it be and move on to another tutorial!

For all of you that have no idea what is about to happen. It is easy! You are just going to create a white base for your cover.

I'll use paint, photofilter studio x and photoshop cs2 for my explaination. Paint? Yes, I hate it. But everyone's got it!
