Tutorial 1 : Synchronised File Covers (Sides and Front)

Assalamualaikum and Hi!

Since somebody asked for the tutorial, I love to share my knowledge in doing these file covers that looked something just like these.





HOW TO DO IT?

1. Google and download any backgrounds that you need. Just type keywords like abstract vector desktop background. Make sure to find pictures with bigger resolutions (e.g : 1200 x 800 onwards) to avoid the background looked not pretty and clear enough.




2. Launch Microsoft Publisher (any version). Then, start making boxes with the exact measurement of your files. Click shapes and choose rectangle. For 40 mm file size, set the height of the boxes is 29.3 cm, width is 4 cm.  The height of A4 size is 29.7 cm, but for printing purposes, to get complete boxes from top to bottom, its a need to reduce a bit to 29.3 cm. Copy and paste until we have five boxes. So, something like this.



3. Add text boxes to fill in the boxes with information. Make sure to click no outline and no shape fill under the format so that it will remain invisible. But, when you hover it, you can still see the shapes. Like this.



4. Use your own creativity to fill the entire boxes, but not too crowded! Maybe, something like this?



5. Add a background. Click insert, then pictures. Then, choose your own background! After that, right-click on the picture, hover to apply to background, click fill. Tadaaa!




6. As for the covers, use the same background. Just start with the empty page with the same background. Then, decorate it yourself. Play with some transparency level. colour and there you go! Anyway, don't forget to click save! Good luck!   :) 

Here's the template for the above tutorials. 




P/s : I would like to share my first work, and I only used Microsoft Publisher. ^^





That's all! For any inquiries, kindly comment on this post or email me at hidayu1409@gmail.com. Thanks for reading! :)
