This video is going to show you how to create Google+ and YouTube channel art and we are
going to use the same image for each one.
First start by going to Google and type in a color that you like, say blue, once there
you select image and you find different images here of blue color. I'm going to take something
simple, I click on the image and I get to view the image, right click and save image
as. I'm going to save it as test and I'm done. Then I go to picmonkey.com, this is a site
that allows you to edit pictures online for free. You can upgrade and you get more features,
such as different effects and things of that nature. Right now I'm running the free version
and so far
I'm
very impressed so I might upgrade.
For now we are
going
to use the free version. So
we will pick "Edit a photo", pick our test picture. Here's the test picture, we are
going to re-size it to fit Google+ and YouTube, the size for that is 2560 x 1440.
