28. Finally, the last thing we need to do is add the cover art to the front of the box. In this tutorial, we'll use the GraphicMentor logo and add it along with some text. So, first thing to do is copy and paste the logo into a new layer that is above the Box layer.





29. As you can see, just copying and pasting the image doesn't make it look real. The box is at an angle and we'll need to adjust the logo to match this angle. Click Edit > Transform > Distort from the Tutorials.

Just keep following Steps 28, 29, and 30 until it is covered completely. Keep copying and pasting different text and graphics into new layers over the "Box" layer, then distort them to fit the angles of the box.

*One important note: If you want to distort text, it needs to be rasterized first. To do this, right click the text layer and select "Rasterize Layer". Then you will be able to distort it.
