There are a few things you need to know before you start creating your own cover book in Canva. The first is that you need to have a good idea of what your book is going to be about. This will help you determine the style of the cover, as well as the overall look and feel. The second thing you need to know is that you need to have a high-quality image to use for the cover. This can be a photo that you took yourself, or one that you found online. The third thing you need to know is that you need to be able to use basic HTML coding in order to style the text on your cover.
Once you have all of these things, you are ready to start creating your own cover book in Canva. The first step is to sign up for a free account. Once you have done this, you will be able to log in and access all of the features that Canva has to offer. Next, you will want to click on the “Create a Design” button, which can be found on the top left-hand side of the screen. From here, you will want to select “Book Cover” from the list of options.
Once you have done this, you will be taken to a new screen where you will be able to select the dimensions of your cover, as well as the layout.
For this tutorial, we are going to use the “Custom” option so that we can choose our own dimensions. However, feel free to experiment with the other options if you want. After you have chosen your dimensions, click on the “Create” button.
Now that your design space has been created, it’s time to start adding some elements to it. The first thing we are going to do is add our background image. To do this, click on the “Uploads” tab (it’s the second tab from the left), and then click on the “Upload an Image” button. Choose the image that you want to use for your background, and then click on the “Open” button.
Once your image has been uploaded, it will appear in the “Uploads” section of your design space. Drag it into place so that it covers the entire design space, and then click on the “Fit” button (it’s in the top right-hand corner of your image). This will make sure that your image is sized properly.
Now that our background image is in place, we can start adding some text. To do this, click on the “Text” tab (it’s next to the “Uploads” tab), and then select one of the text boxes. Type in whatever text you want, and then use the various options in the top toolbar (such as font size and color) to style it how you want.
And there you have it! You now know how to create a cover book in Canva.
