To be able to use the object that you've just created we need to create a UV map for it. For this to work we only need to "unwrap" the front face of the backglass and make sure that it fits the artwork that we created earlier. In the "Edit Mode" window on the right, press Number Pad 5 and Number Pad 7 to switch to an orthographic top-down view of the backglass. Choose the "faces" option at the top right of this screen and select the front face of the backglass. In the top Menu of the right screen choose UV/Project From View (Bounds). You should see an unwrapped face appear in the left screen that lines up with the artwork that you made. If the edges don't line up, choose "edges" in the left screen, click on the edge that needs to be moved and hit "G" while hovering over that edge. This will select the edge and allow you to move it to the correct location. Note that you do not need to "click" to move the edge.

Change to the *UV Editing* workspace. Put your mouse cursor over the right window and press `numpad 7` to switch to an orthographic top-down view of the backglass. Hit `3` for face selection and click on the front face. In the right window, choose *UV -> Project From View (Bounds)*.
