Press “ Ctrl + J” to duplicate the layer. Then press Shift + Backspace to fill the selection area with the color we chose earlier. Make a rectangular selection, about the size of the cover thickness. Press “ Insert” to create a new “ Paint” layer. It’s a good idea to make it darker to simulate lighting effects. Then we click to sample the color we want to use as the cover color for the side. Next, we will create the side part of the book. Feel free to adjust the vertical position to your liking. For the 2 control points on the left, make them snap to the guide on the left. Then drag the control points on the right to snap to the intersection of the guides at the top center and bottom center. Then we apply the “ transform tool” on the “ mask”. So first we need to apply a “ transform mask” on the layer. For now, I want to show you a non-destructive method. You can do this directly on the layer using the “ Transform” tool. Next, we can start adding perspective distortion to the front cover image. Step 3: Applying perspective distortion on the front cover And in the “ Snap to” submenu, make sure that the “ Snap to guides” option is active. The last step in preparing the guides is to enable the “ Lock Guides” option so that they are safe from changes. ![]() If you want a more free-form shape, you don’t need to create any guides at all. I need these guides because I want the vertical lines of the book mockup to be perfectly straight. Then create 2 horizontal guides for the top and bottom edges of the book.Īgain, this step is optional. The second is for the right corner of the front cover. The first is for the left edge of the front cover of the book. Then click and drag 3 times from the ruler area to the right. Open the “ View” menu and make sure the rulers are active. We can easily reduce the size later after we have created the mockup image. But for now, we’ll just leave it at its original size. You can change it to a specific size in this window if you want. This is too large for most website designs. The current PDF file has an A4 size with a resolution of 300dpi. We only need the first page, so we select the “ first page” option. We don’t need to open all the pages of this PDF file. If the file we select is a PDF, the “ PDF Import Options” window will open. Browse to the location of the folder, then select the file. Either through the toolbar or menu, or just press “ Ctrl + O” on the keyboard. Step 1: Opening the cover image in Kritaįor the first step, we need to extract the cover image of the eBook into Krita.

But in this tutorial we will focus on using a free and open source software, Krita.įor your information, I created the ebook using Adobe Illustrator and also Adobe Express. There are many different ways we can create something like this. For example, to create a popup or “lead magnet” form like the one below. Let’s say you have created an ebook in PDF format, you then need to create a 3D book mockup to be used in website design.
