i. Open your PNG as the foreground and a white background. Turn the contrast all of the way down, along with the colors to make it black. Place in center and merge.
ii. Upload the same PNG as the foreground, turn the contrast all of the way down, and then turn the colors all of the way up.
iii. **Place the white image over the right side of the image first, getting a black line on the left side like it is below. Save!!! Don't merge just yet.** After you save, move the white image over to the other side to get a black line on the other side, like it is below in the second image. Save again.
iv. Upload a gradient image as the background and the grid image as the foreground. Place the grid image in the middle and put it on color burn under the transform tab. If you don't like that, of course feel free to put it on any overlay blend mode you like best. Merge.
v. Upload your original PNG as the foreground and place it somewhere on the cover you like (try and keep it inside of the grid image) Merge when you're satisfied.
vi. Upload your first line image you saved a moment ago as the foreground. Invert the color on the image under the filter tab if you desire to, and then put it on screen or multiply (whichever color you decide to do, white or black)
vii. This may take a few times merging, but just resize the outline image and use the brush under the mask tab to erase things that you don't like. (For the one of Barry below, I placed the left side of the outline how I liked it and then erased the right side, merged, and then upload the other outline image and place it on the other side, merged, and then I was done). Make sure to use the rectangle crop to erase the outline that goes past the grid part in your cover!
viii. Upload plain white/colored image of you choice as the foreground and place it over the bottom of your PNG as it is done below. Resize as you like and then merge and save. Add title, filter, and you're done!

COMMENTS
I really hope this isn't too confusing, I tried my best haha. I would have made a video, but by the time I remembered I was capable of doing that, I was pretty much halfway through it already, sadly. It is inspired by a cover by @THEICEWOLVES which I love love love!
question; what's your lucky number?
(don't you dare say it voideverything...)
