create avatar for youtube


Creating an avatar for YouTube or any other social network is quite simple. And you can’t do without a recognizable youtube channel icon, just like you can’t go out naked. Today we will talk about the principles of creating an ava channel for commercial use and will not consider private channels made "just for yourself". Video blogging has become a profitable and promising business - and this is no longer a secret. For sales and commercial YouTubers, an avatar is not just a funny picture. This is a brand - a concise and intelligible image that should tell about the topic "on the fly".

By the way, you can also watch our channels:

So, what avatars are usually created by channel owners

Avatar photo

Most people just post their photo. And this is logical and quite justified for people involved in promoting themselves. A video blogger must be recognizable, his face is his trademark. But even here there are nuances. To get attention, you can:

  • make a caricature avatar - that is, do not use the photo “as is”, but order photo processing from the designer or just a high-quality drawing of yourself
  • order a photo session (quite inexpensively, you can order it directly from us - choose an image and a place for shooting together with our photographer, in a few days you will receive professionally processed photos, ready for placement as an avatar and background on YouTube)

Avtatar-logo

This case is typical for commercial video projects of different companies - large and small. If you have your own business brand, then the most logical and easiest way to create an avatar is to make it in the form of your own logo.

Created-don't-know-what-avatar

The most neglected case is when, instead of a clear image, we see on the ava a certain substance from another dimension (as a rule, generated by an inflamed imagination). At best, this is a wild collage of pictures downloaded from the Internet.

Avatar - celebrity

Everything is clear here - we take Wolverine, put it on an avatar and, without bothering to create something of our own, we feel unrealistically cool.

What makes sense to think about when creating an avatar picture

  • It should be defiant (in the good sense of the word). Attention to yourself can be attracted: color scheme or semantic content
  • Since the surest way to promote well on YouTube is to attract subscribers from million-strong channels to your channel, you can try to stand out among the commentators of such a video, and this is possible with the help of an avatar
  • When creating an avatar, the choice of appearance should mainly be influenced by common sense. If you are positioning yourself as an educational channel, then trash content is unlikely to be appropriate in the picture .... and vice versa

Youtube Avatar Maker Software

Personally, I prefer the combination of Photoshop (for bitmap work) + Illustrator (for creating vector images) from Adobe. But I can also recommend you a package from CorelDraw. It all depends on taste. Someone and Paint fit????

Technical parameters of the avatar

  • The standard size of an ava on YouTube is 98 x 98 pixels, but when creating in the editor, it’s better to stick to the working field of 800 x 800 pixels - this way your picture will be better, especially if you like different effects
  • The shape does not matter - accordingly, in a square of 800 x 800 px, you can enter any geometric figure on a transparent background and save it in png format
  • After creating an avatar, you can save it in one of the formats that YouTube "eats" - * .JPG, * .GIF, * .BMP, * .PNG.

And if you just want to have some fun, here is a great exposé about Reik that my colleagues and I filmed in an abandoned factory:

Yes! We do video filming and editing. But this is more of a hobby than a commercial project. We have our own video channel - subscribe - you will not regret it!
