How To Create A Awesome Youtube Banner 

Hi Guys In This Post I am Going To Show You All How To Create A Awesome YouTube Banner.Just Like The Below Image

WATCH THE BELOW VIDEO TO SEE HOW TO CREATE A YOUTUBE BANNER

CHANNEL ART SIZE TEMPLATE

Before we start you are going to need a channel art size template as channel art is displayed in different aspect ratios across different platforms.  As you can see in the image below, your channel art will be larger on a TV and smaller on a phone so you want to include all your vital information in the center box.

CREATE AN ACCOUNT AND SELECT A TEMPLATE

So to start you need a Canva account, don’t worry it’s free, just enter your name, email address, and password.

So you’ve signed up and now you are on the homepage.  In the search bar up the top, you need to type in ‘YouTube Channel Art’.  This will bring up a list of results, we will be clicking the first one which is a blank template with the correct aspect ratio but if you want a bit of inspiration you can scroll down to see Canva’s different templates.

Select ‘Create a blank’

SETUP YOUR SIZE TEMPLATE

I am going to be setting this fake channel up as a dog training channel. To start you want to make sure that all of your elements fall in the safe zone.  Do this by clicking and dragging my Channel Art Size Template to the top left-hand side, this will make it fill the screen.

ADD CONTENT TYPES

Next, let’s add some text.  Click the text box on the left-hand side and click ‘Add a heading’.  This will create a text box on your image.  We will use this text to tell people what types of content to expect.  I will add training tips, games, and enrichment.  Click away from the text, you can then reposition the text to where you want it.  I am going to move it to the right-hand side, change the alignment to the left by clicking the alignment button up the top, and change the font to match your companies branding.  We can look at changing the font color later.

REPLACE THE BACKGROUND IMAGE

Finally, in the top center, you can add your accolades, this could be any certifications you hold, any publications you’ve been featured in, etc.

CHANGE THE TEXT COLOUR

The next step you can try is changing the color of the text.  Do this by selecting the text anding clicking the color panel up the top.  Try switching to white or black, this hasn’t made a difference for me so I am going to move on to the final step. You can also try changing the color of the text to your branded colors by clicking the + icon and typing in your HEX code.

DOWNLOAD YOUR CHANNEL ART

Repeat this for all of the text and you are done.  All that is left to do is click download in the top right-hand corner.  Navigate to your YouTube channel and upload your new art and you are done.

THAT’S A WRAP

So now you have shiny new YouTube channel art that tells your viewers who you are, what content you produce, when to expect new videos and why they should listen to you. Have you seen examples of great YouTube channel art? Leave links in the comments below.
