hey you guys Daniel from tomorrow here today I'm gonna teach you guys how to
make your own YouTube channel art from scratch using an online design tool
called canva I'm also giving away 50 free YouTube banners in Photoshop and
JPEG files so make sure to click the link below to take advantage of this
exciting giveaway alright let's get started I'm looking at a fresh new
YouTube channel right now with no channel art first I'm gonna select edit
channel art click on how to create channel art and then under image size
and file guidelines I'm gonna download the channel art templates I'm
downloading this because I want to have a visual reference as I make the layout
of my channel art inside my download I'm going to set aside the PNG image file
next in canva I'm gonna select YouTube channel art as a design that I want to
create canvas got a lot of design options but since I'm gonna make a
banner from scratch I'm gonna click on uploads and upload my channel art
template let's stretch the image so that it fills my entire canvas now I need a
large background to fill the entire TV area ideally you want to bring in your
own photo but for those of you who aren't skilled photographers you can get
some really good free high-res photos on unsplash.com now back in canva I'm gonna
upload my image I'm setting its transparency down so that I can still
see the channel art template underneath I like that the gazebo and this image
ties everything in together so I'm gonna make sure that it makes it into the
small desktop and mobile area as I stretch this image out
we now have a responsive background image one that will look great on TVs
larger desktop monitors tablets and phones but we still need some text
cameras got a variety of pre-designed sets of text but since I'm designing
channel art from scratch I'm gonna add my own heading by selecting this it's
hard to know where I should position my heading so I'm gonna bring my background
images transparency down again to see where the text and logo safe area is
next I'm going to add some smaller text explaining what my channel is all about
just like that I'm done designing my youtube channel art I've just got to
take my image out of canva by clicking download at the top right corner go back
to my YouTube channel and upload my image the most complicated part is just
laying out everything in all the right places
but that's why we've designed 50 YouTube banners for you so click on the link
below to download your 50 free YouTube banners have fun with that and I'll see
