Or maybe tightening the spacing to ensure the text isn’t too close to the spine fold. I might consider shrinking the font by a point or two. I can see that my ISBN barcode is in the right spot and that my other elements are placed correctly.īut I also see the ‘W’ in the title is very close to the spine. Now you can see it over the other elements of my cover. This isn’t the easiest to see, but I’ve made the template layer 40% visible. But if I want to check my spine location or margins, I can simply adjust the transparency slider to make the template visible. I’ve set the transparency to 0 (making it invisible). Notice that top-most layer (the blank one)? It’s my template. Finally, you can upload or create branded assets like Logos that Adobe Spark will save and allow you to reuse for future designs. You’ll also have options to add preset icons and stock images. This includes text, elements (like shapes and arrows), and templates. Adobe Spark keeps it simple, with basic text and images.
Which brings us to point #3: the tools you’ll have to design.I’ve added these elements using the design controls. You can see them in the stack listed under #1. These elements (the text, barcode, and my little spaceship) are all layers.This visualization makes it so much easier to see how your layers are stacked and to drag/drop them into the order you want. If you’re creating complex images (or even relatively simple ones) you’re going to create a number of layers. This is one of my favorite features of Adobe Spark. I’ve marked three points to call out, so let’s go over those: Here’s a cover I’ve created by layering on some elements. Now I have the template as a layer I can reference and I’m ready to make my cover! From there, I added the template as an image. When I click ‘Next’ I get a blank canvas sized to perfectly match my book cover.
