Creating YouTube Banner & Logo for your Channel

What's up guys this year where Daniel and you are watching begin our atonce and this is the chapter number three in which we are going to create banners and the local for our YouTube channel. OK. So we're going to go ahead and jump into a Web site called thean forest dot net or you can visit and Watto dot com and there is a reason that I'm suggesting this Web site is we can either create our own banners with Photoshop and we can either buy it. OK so if he buys something it would save a lot of time and effort for our channel. You know we can spend our time somewhere else building quality meals for our channel instead of focusing on channel banter and logo. OK so I know that logo and banner is very important for your YouTube channel branding but we don't have any subscriber right now so we don't really need those branding material right now. But again I would suggest you to jump into theme for a stock that or once you was a theme for Zadan and you'll just click on the graphics and once you click on graphics you can search for YouTube banners. OK so let's say you have a specific niche for your channel. Let's say you have a fitness channel so you will tie you to banners and you can say fitness okay are the ones who will search it. It will pull up all the YouTube banners related to fitness. OK. As you can see right here let me just go ahead and click on this run and open the the page and show you how these banners are designed. OK. So as you can see where you're They have different designs of banners and you can added these better ones so you will buy them. And I'm going to show you that in just a moment. But this is just the basic idea of buying banners from the forest dot net. And as you can see right here this guy already sold three hundred and fourteen banners in 14 products and it cost you around seven bucks OK. The other way is with Photoshop which I'm going to show you in just a moment. I will suggest you to go to the forest dot net and it's pretty simple and you just have to spend five to seven bucks to buy a banner and we can pick pick up the logo from here. So if you don't have to buy a logo. OK. So I already bought some banners for my YouTube channel previously. Will show you that banners and I'll show you once you will buy any banner it will come up like this. OK. Let me just go ahead and take a look. I bought this Bob Banner a long time ago. So this is the banner. So once you will die by that banner it will come into your accounts download section. OK so you will click on download it will take you to that product page sorry your download page and you can actually download the product. OK. So this cost me around four bucks which is nothing. It's not too much. But it will save you a lot of time as you can see every year. I bought this product and they had three different way patients. And these three variations have different colors in it. OK. So let's say I like this second batter or the first or the third banner I buy this. OK. It comes into my download folder I just click on download and click onto Main file. So I will download the main file it will come into my downloads folder. So I'll just go ahead and jump into my downloads folder and let's see what we got. We don't got anything yet. So let's just go ahead and download it. Kane Well let me just go ahead and see that downloads. It's not downloading the the software sorry the files for me. So let me just go ahead and take a look. I can't see the download option right here. Let's just try again. And check our fold or nothing is right here. Let me just go ahead and open the Google Chrome OK now it's coming. All right. So we will just click on savefile OK and we will just save it into our downloads folder and once it will download the file for us we can see the zip forward right here. So click on extract here once we will extract these files. We don't need these extra files just open the folder and it will give you three folders or one brand or two and three. Let's say I want banner won and write the color. Let's say I like red a color I'll just click on double click on it and it will open it in Photoshop. OK. So if you don't have photoshop you will have to download the Photoshop. You can download the trial version. If you don't have photoshop it's going to take you it's it will give you 15 to 30 days for a trial version but you can do anything you want in the Photoshop if you already have a job that's good. That's a good thing. So once you click on Open file it will give you three options you just click on keep Lares OK and hit OK. And it will give you the cursor. OK. So as you can see right here you can see these green lines. OK. So these green lines are the grades that show you the alignment of the banner. OK. As you can see right here these two lines these two lines shows that this is the area where we can edit our banner content. OK. We cannot added anything or we can't put anything outside this box because it's not going to show you to Berridge I'm going to show you in just a moment. So as you can see right here you can put our side you have subscribe text right here Channel lame Instagram Twitter and Facebook. OK. So let's say we don't have any thing related to social media at the moment so we can either delete it or if you have social media you can just type your name for your social media account ok so I can see you. Daniel Pervaiz OK. For the Twitter account I have beginner tots. OK. And I also have a Facebook page which is beginner talks and I'll just go ahead and save it. OK so this is the part this part is done. OK. So if you want to edit the text you will just click on this tool right here. You can see this sign. You click on it and you will just go over the text and click on it and it will show you the option to edit this this text. Ok so now we got our social media name ready for Instagram for the Treanor and the Facebook. And now we got our channel name. OK so let's say I have a channel related to some educational content if it's educational related to information technology. You know it should be. It should represent your brand OK. It should represent your category or your niche. OK. So for the name we are going to decide the name in just a minute. But as you can hear these lines it's pretty much annoying so I just can I can remove these by hitting control h at the same time once I will hit that it will disable those lines. And now I can see the whole banner. It's looks clear. I can edit that. So for the channel name I'll just go ahead and click on t and I'll just select the text and say I'll just keep my name for this with your purposes you can name it whatever you want. OK. You have to decide your child name and in the next video we are going to select our niche and once we will select our niche you can change your channel lame or you can if you have some niche in your mind already then you can just write whatever you want in the banner. OK so every banner is the same. The editing part is the same. You just click on tacks and highlight the text and you can change your text according to yourself. It doesn't matter which banner you just bought from the forest. It's going to work like the same. OK. So you're asking for the pick. I don't really have any pick right now. I don't like pigs so I can delete that. OK so once I will if I wanted to lead that story here. This is a folder. It saves your picture. This is a leather section in Photoshop. So I don't want this OK. I don't want this picture so I can check this holder. OK so you can if you click on the little checkbox it will on it will disable the picture part. OK. If you can't figure out where is this part right here. So you can just uncheck everything and you know see the section if it's coming or not by disabling these checkboxes. So I know that because this is your picture that means it's this picture it's referer and this picture right. So I'll just go ahead and uncheck this box and or I can hit delete button to delete this thing. OK. I want to do that. So it's pretty simple. So the next thing is the upside.
