How to make a background for YouTube: quickly and independently
Good day, dear readers of my blog. With great difficulty I forced myself to sit down and write this article today. It's not that the topic is too complicated. Moreover, I already wrote a similar publication.
It's hard to be disciplined. For more than a year now, I have been writing to my blog almost every day. I teach you how to make money on YouTube, make your own sites on WordPress, work with webmoney and so on. During this time, I have learned so much new in all these areas that I can take on the most incredible orders with peace of mind.
It was these thoughts that created in me the desire to start our dialogue precisely with advising you to subscribe to my blog mailing list. You, just like me, will be able to get one step closer to popularity and stable earnings on the Internet every day.
Today, we will talk about how to make a background for YouTube. I'll show you 5 options, give you lots of helpful tips and some helpful video tutorials.
I would like to warn you right away that we are not talking about the background. Recently, it has become forbidden to change it. You will not see such channels anywhere else.
We will learn how to insert a beautiful picture in the channel header. I already wrote about this and some parts of this article will slightly coincide with what I wrote earlier. However, in both publications you will find additional information.
For example, in the article "" there is a list of online services that help to cope with the task without programs and there is a training video on creating an animated header.
In this publication you will find 5 videos, some new useful tips and my author's video. But first, I will briefly describe the process itself.
How to create your design
At the end of this article, you will understand what tools and how to make your channel more beautiful. We will work on the hat. How it looks, for example, here.
About sizes
I advise you not to bother and download a template with guides from my website, which you can open through Photoshop, in order to accurately and in detail work on the header. The fact is that the official website of YouTube is adapted for mobile devices. He will change.
In case you're viewing it from a phone screen, you'll only see the part shown as 1 in my screenshot. 2 is the tablet display, 3 is the laptop screen, and 4 is the TV. By the way, do not neglect this permission.
Increasingly, Russians are getting TVs with Internet access. We recently visited with a friend who bought her child her own samsung tv with internet access via wi-fi. The baby is only 4 years old, but she is tightly hooked on Peppa pig and watches it exclusively from YouTube.
How to create a picture
So you open this file. Let's start with filling the background (I recommend an interesting article about how fast). You can use one color, for example, black. But it seems to me that gradients look much more effective. About that, I also already wrote.
First select the tool in the panel on the left, then click on the plate with the color.
Change shades. At the bottom are control points with color display. Click on them and change the color to the one you need. Watch the video below if something doesn't work.
As a result, this is what I got.
Now I take pictures prepared in advance. From my blog, you can also find out where to get pictures for free and without legal consequences. I also already told. You can read a detailed explanation on my website or limit yourself to only the information that they need to be dragged from a folder.
If you need an image with a transparent background, like mine, then look for the PNG extension.
I press the right mouse button to flip the image. And choose Flip Horizontally.
This is the end result I got.
It remains only to subscribe to your channel. I choose the text tool.
I deliberately move the title to the top left corner so that it's easier to choose the font.
Now with the help of the move tool I put it where it should be.
You can add a stroke so that the inscription is well read on a black background.
That's how I got it. It remains only to save the picture and upload it to YouTube.
We will need Jpg format.
How to upload an illustration
Now we open the channel. I drew this picture when I wrote the previous publication.
Select the pencil in the upper right corner and click "Change Channel Art".
Drag and drop a new image here.
See how the channel will look on different devices.
You can also watch the video in which I do all the same, so as not to get confused and achieve the same effect.
5 videos on how to achieve an excellent effect
Well, now, as promised, I will bring you 5 videos on how to create an incredible hat. So. Here you will be taught how to create an incredibly beautiful background, in the style of one popular video blogger EeOneGuy.
In this video, I really liked not only the result, but also a life hack for creating a template using a notebook sheet. I think that I will use it not only to work on the channel.
Another interesting lesson on how to work with styles and add effects.
OK it's all over Now. Improve yourself, learn more about Photoshop, learn how to make beautiful pictures yourself, invent, develop your talent. Pretty soon you won't need any lessons. You yourself will be able to gush with creative ideas.
And if you make your own screencasts, I also advise you to pay attention to the course " Screencast Master ”, which laid out all the secrets of creating your own lessons.
