All you got to do follow me here guys you go to pick monkey calm Support the monkey and then if you look here, you're gonna see a couple things I'll go through a couple of them quick edit. You can edit any type of picture you want Yeah, I look here. You can add text effects overlays blah blah blah Collage make a picture collage touch up, but more importantly you can do designs Okay, this is the best one when you click on design if you go down here You can choose from a couple different types of shapes pre-built sizes But in particular the ones you want to look at our Facebook cover, which is pre-built for Facebook and Custom let's look at Facebook cover. Although. Well, actually, let's look at custom first One of the things you might want to do is you might want to build a YouTube channel What you may call it cover art you got to have one of those things at the top there Make it. These are the dimensions for the for YouTube you click make it Bang automatically set up in the back as the exact dimensions that you need. It's sweet. There's no charge to this There's no photoshop. No pixel mater. No monkey business Unintended, but anyways, that's how you would do that, but let's just build a quick bar God sakes big C Get your brain on Let's do a Facebook cover real quick here. Okay, so you're a gamer for example You're a let's just this is hypothetical. You're you're you're a modern warfare gamer You play Call of Duty blah blah blah You have a Facebook channel. You have a YouTube channel, but on your Facebook channel You don't have any cover art at the top. Let's take a look at that. Where would that go Curtis? What's my password? I don't even know Is that my okay? That's me there. Let's go to my big C channel Okay, big C big C's Facebook page. I Go to Walmart like a knob. Okay, so I want to upload a position But anyways, this is the piece that I we're gonna build right here. All right, so let's go So here it is. It's pre-built. We know it's pre-built because you go in here and you look at resize 851 by 315 that is the face book Dimensions, so we are good to go there and off we go. So let's take a look here on the left side We've got some basic edits the One that you want to look at here. You have a couple options is your canvas color If you don't want plain white, you can do blue green yellow, whatever Also, and this is more important is transparent canvas by clicking that button you get an alpha channel Which basically means that anything you draw or any pictures pardon me that you insert here Get inserted, but there's no background color. It is blank that is it's not even white. It's just not there So for those of you that are are new to the design business Yeah, it's just whatever you put there, but I'm gonna go with white because that's easy apply it bang basic white Background now quickly look through the left side here You can put in some effects all these different effects are cool But you know what we don't really have anything besides white So you're just gonna get some you know goopy looking colors until later Here Here's some touch up if this was a paper you were working on a picture you could do wrinkle removal blush boost My favorite is down here. Let's see if I can find it weight loss. Yeah guys apparently I don't have to diet I just have to increase my weight loss and pick monkey pretty awesome But yeah, no the first thing we want to do is we want to add in some text So we'll click on text go to add text. Let's call this. Let's pretend your name is Chunk five what a horrible name for a for a YouTube channel, but whatever this is all pretend all fictitious So we're making chunk five gaming the modern warfare call the duty guy. All right, so here we go Put it in type it in bang now. We go over here. You can change the size of the text Maybe you want to be a big chunk five Kid draw that out. This is an annoying spot part of me But it needs to be there. Okay, so let's put this near the top now You are gonna note at this a this is a free tool and be it doesn't really have Grids and rulers so if you are already familiar with Photoshop or you have a copy you might just want to stick with that Oh, whatever This is for the newer guys that don't have the money or are just getting started and don't know how to do this Kind of stuff and that's a okay. We all start somewhere So anyways, you could choose your color if you want to be chunk five the purple. Yeah, that's a really bad color But let's choose it. Okay. You're chunk five. You want a purple in the background? Okay, maybe we'll Center it or something. Okay, bang chunk five. Here you are your chunk five gaming Okay, so we got it white chunk five at the top. Let's put it up a little higher Is that centered we have to eyeball it at this time, but it looks pretty close Great, but you don't want a pure white background. That's kind of boring So let's go down here. These are some frames. So if you want to put it in a In a Polaroid picture Whatever you got to resize it, but you want to put it in some drop shadow action. Okay, whatever But let's just cancel all that stuff. Let's go to Overlays. Okay. This is the cool one It comes with a bunch of pre-built overlays. So if you're like a you know soft kind of guy And you want to put some hearts in here. Oh, yeah, I'm broken hearted boo-hoo No, you delete those but yeah, they they come with a whole bunch of different things You can go through them flip through them dolly heart stars arrows comic bubbles bubbles Whatever nautical whatever you guys can explore that on your own time But yeah, it's all there and then of course there's some other cool things like Stars and fireworks and banners and stuff like that. But anyways, let's get out of that. Let's go to overlays Let's select our own overlays. I'm gonna go to my desktop and do I have one? Chunk 5 junk 5. I don't really have a good overlay. So let's go with You're in the second ranger battalion. Okay, great. I'm adding in a your chunk 5 You're a call of duty work or world of war or whatever Gamer and you're in the second ranger battalion. Okay. Now that's taken on some shape cool Now, let's go get a cool background. How about that? No, actually, you know what? Let's use one of theirs I think they've got some really good ones if I remember correct Gonna go to textures now here you can add in your own which is awesome So if you've got some sort of background texture that you want to add in go for it Because this is a fictitious call of duty. We're gonna add in some gunmetal So let's go with chunk 5 gaming with the metal background How saturated do we want it to be we want it to be super saturated unsaturated is not really doing anything Fading it in You know what we want it to be dark, but we want to be too dark So let's go with that. We're gonna apply that We're gonna notice that the chunk 5 is a little bit too far left That looks to be about centered We've added in a picture that we can get off the internet or we can get out of one of our videos Done.
