What you get
Choose one focal image
Make the central character or idea readable at small size. Leave space for the title before generating the art.
Keep the title editable
Type the title and credits in Studio. Change the font, size and position without baking words into the image.
Respect trim and safe areas
Keep important text away from edges. Use the print-size calculator when setting up a spine or full wraparound cover.
Review before printing
Check the thumbnail, full-size typography and exported dimensions. Confirm the printer’s template and colour requirements before ordering.
How it works
01
Open the cover preset
Start with a portrait artwork frame and separate title, issue and author text. Set the intended trim size.
02
Create the focal artwork
Generate or place the cover image, then adjust its crop and the text hierarchy.
03
Proof the cover
Read it at thumbnail and full size. Check margins and export a review file before production.
Front covers for different kinds of stories
Six original front-cover concepts. Open an example to inspect the artwork and title-safe space. Add your own title as editable text in Studio.

Product capability
A cover-sized document
The starting page has portrait dimensions, bleed and safe-margin settings. The exported document uses those settings; printer approval is still a separate step.
