So if you're excited to start making your own Instagram quotes, click the enroll button and let's get started. I look forward to seeing you in the first lecture 2. Introduction: Hello and thank you for taking this class. I'm really excited to show you how to make some instagram quotes that are fast, fun, easy and even free to make. I think you're really going to enjoy this class. So before we get started, the first thing I would like for you to do is go ahead and introduce yourself to the class so I can get to know you better scroll down to the bottom and click on the your project Tap . This is going to be where you actually submit your final project. But go ahead and do a brief introduction of yourself. So in the project title, you can type my final project if you want, and then just go ahead and leave a brief description about yourself. Tell us who you are. Why you're using instagram. How you think it's going to help your business. And if you would like, you can go ahead and put in either your instagram link or your Instagram profile name and then hit the create button. Now, at the end of this course, I do want you to create an image and go ahead and upload that image. And then once you do, you can update your project here so I can't wait to meet you. I can't wait to get started, so let's go ahead and begin with the first lecture. 3. What are Instagram Quotes: Let's go ahead and talk about what Instagram quotes are and how they can actually help you out. Now on Instagram quote is basically just a quote image that you typically see on social media platforms and these air famous quotes. They can be quotes from you from your blog's from your book or your podcast, so you can either use a famous quote by someone else, or you can use a quote of your own. Now, of course, if you're using someone else's quote, you're really gonna want to do your research and make sure that person said that because there's a lot of these quote images going around where they're quoting wrong people and they don't even make any sense because that person didn't say it. Now, as you can see here, people use quotes in different ways. Some have pictures, some don't. Some are very basic. Some have graphic design elements. Some of them are targeting a specific audience, while other ones are using branding colors. So you want to think about your audience, who you're targeting and how you want to go about designing these quotes. Now the reason why they're so powerful is because we're using them on Instagram, which, of course, is a photo sharing type platform. So pitchers do really good. And the reason why quote images do really well is because the strike and emotion of your audience. So if you are doing something in gymnastics or the fitness area and you end up putting a quote that talks directly to that audience member, it's gonna make them pay attention to you a little bit more. So you definitely want to think about who this is going to be, for who your audience is and who you're actually trying to get to respond to these quote images. It's usually best if you try to pick a certain topic or stay within a certain niche verses just trying to do some random quotes and trying to hit everyone. So once you have your quote image, as you can see here, this person has done a quote. You can see that they've actually put in their YouTube channel that you can go check out. They've put some hashtags and have caption this properly. And if I if this really struck a core with me or an emotion with me, I might be interested in clicking on them and checking out more about them. And as you can see here, they have not almost one million followers on Instagram and mostly everything on there is a bunch of quote images. So they're using these quote images to really talk to their audience and try to strike an emotion to get them to check them out. And then once you check him out, you might be inclined to follow them so that you are actually going to be paying more attention to them. And that's really the reason why we're doing this is to grow your following. So let's go ahead and take a look at how we can design some instagram quote images. 4. Design Instagram Quotes for Free: Okay, Now I'm going to talk about one of my favorite applications to use for designing social media graphics. And that is camera camera is an awesome program and makes it really easy to make Instagram quote images because it has a lot of pre made templates and layouts that we can use. Also, it will sink to the smartphone version of canvas, so you can either design on the website itself camba dot com. Or you can design on the smartphone application and it will sync with one another, and I'll show you how that works. So this is really awesome. I think you're really gonna like this program a lot. I have a lot more courses on skill share covering Camba. So if you want to go ahead and check out some of the links in the about section of this course, or you can go over to my profile and see a listing of all my courses, I talk a lot about Cam because I think it's a really great application. So here we are on the main dashboard. It's free to sign up for an account to go ahead and sign up for an account and I have a lot of my images blurred out. Some of these are private things that I'm doing for business, so I can't show you all everything that I've created. But I've created a lot of stuff in this program, So at the top, we see it says, create a design and we don't see anything for Instagram here. I'm just going to go ahead and click on the more button, and it's going to drop everything open that weaken do inside of canvas. So right here under Social Media Post, you'll see Instagram Post. It also shows us the typical pixel dimension four instagram so 1080 pixels by 1080 pixels. Another cool thing about this software is there constantly updating the pixel ranges for these different social media graphics. So if Facebook comes in and says, Oh, our Facebook post dimensions have changed, Campbell will upto update those for you. So it's a really neat feature of this program, so I'm going to go ahead and click on Instagram post. When I do, we get to the design dashboard, and here's where I can do a lot of the creation when I'm on the actual Internet version www dot camera dot com so we can see a bunch of templates on the left hand side. Some of them say for free, and you can use those for free all you want. Some of them will show a dollar sign above them, and that's just saying that it costs $1 to use that template. So ah, lot of great templates in here for free. But if you want to use one, it on Lee costs a dollar, which is hardly anything when you consider everything you can do with this program. So when I find one I like, I can just go ahead and click on it and we can see it throws in an image in the background . It turned that image to a grayscale, and it gave us some. It went ahead and did this Mark Twain quote, so we can change this out. We can edit this. I can just go ahead and click on this and type in my own name here, or whoever's name that I'm quoting. I can do the same here and change out this. I can click on the yellow symbols, the actual graphics, and I can change the color by clicking on the color icon. So here, if I wanted to do my own branding of whatever my brain colors were, I could actually do that. And you can also come in here and choose any clothes that you want. I can also change out the text of the fonts. So if I click on this, you can see it gives me different fun options. I can make it italicize Aiken make lists and all kinds of different things. So you come in here, you create your quote image. We can change out the background image if we want to. If I click on the image and I go to Filter, you can see that there's a lot of different filters that we can actually use, so we don't have to necessarily go with the gray scale. If there's something else that we find works a little better, we can do that. I can change out the image if I goto elements on the left hand side. There's a lot of free photos, So if I don't like this background and I want to use something else, I can click and drag that into the background. it'll automatically apply the filter for me and I'm ready to go, So ah, really cool program. Like I said, I don't have time to explain everything about how this program works. I have a lot more courses on it, and, ah, if you want to check those out, please do so. But I will come in here and I will design my quote image inside of camera. Now, I can go ahead and click on the share button and share this out. Since we did a free template, I can download this into a J. P. G or PNG file and at no cost to me. Um, I can go over to file and click, save, and then what we can do is we can actually get on our smartphone and use the camera application on there. Now we can design from the smartphone, which is awesome. But if I'm at a computer, I'll usually come in here and design at first. But let me go ahead and show you how we will get into the smartphone application. So go ahead and I'll load up the application here, and when I do, you can see that we can create designs at the top, and Instagram is one of the first ones. So I could pick one of these templates and start designing another Instagram quote immediately on my phone. Or I can go to your designs. And when I do that at the top left hand corner, you can see that the image hasn't refreshed yet. However, I can just go ahead and click on that, and it will bring up that Mark Twain quote that we had, and I can edit it here if I want to. Now, whenever I'm done editing and I'm ready to go ahead and put that on INSTAGRAM, I can click on the share button and then once that's loaded, I can go ahead and save the image to my camera roll so I can go on instagram and uploaded that way. Or I can go ahead and find the Instagram application and click on that and send that out directly to my INSTAGRAM account. And all I need to do is write a caption here and hit the share button, and we're good to go. So this program is amazing. I definitely recommend you check out camera either on the desktop version, the online version or on your smartphone version 5. Publish Your Instagram Quotes: So once you have your instagram quote image created and you're ready to share that, you can do that directly out of the canvas application if you want to. So here I just went ahead and clicked on the instagram right in the camera application, and it brought me to the sharing screen right here. And all I need to do is go ahead and write a caption for my post so I can say who the posters by. I can go ahead and write in the actual quote. If I wanted to, I would probably want to put my website in here. And also, of course, I would want to use Hashtags. So make sure that you are using adequate hashtags in the right hashtags for your audience because not only do we want to get these images in the eyes of our audience, we want to also try to find new followers in the way that we do. That is by using appropriate hashtags. So once I have that ready to G o, I'll just go ahead and type in my website here and then hit share and it went ahead and share that straight to my instagram account. I can come back in camera and start designing more if I need to. So this is the main application that I would use to actually share out my INSTAGRAM images . You can do it online. You can do it from logging into instagram straight from online, but typically you're on the mobile application. So I'm either going to you create the image on line on my desktop. Or I can come in here and click on Instagram and use one of these templates and start creating just like I would do with the online version by being able to pick filters, adding text, adding elements, changing the layouts and so on, and then just clicking that share button when I'm ready to go. 6.
