2. Image generation using Artififical Intelligence: Hey, everyone, welcome to a new lecture in this
series of lectures, and the first thing we're going to learn in
this course is how to create images using
artificial intelligence. For that, we will need a service called
Bing image creator. Let me search for
this in Google. And we have the search
results over here. Click on image creator
from Microsoft Bing. Now, what do you
need to do before you can start creating images, you need to sign in to
your Microsoft account. Now, once you go to the service that is
image created by being, it'll ask you to either sign up and create a microsoft
account or it'll ask you to sign in to your already existing
Microsoft account. Most people have
microsoft account, so it should not be
much of a problem. Once you've signed
in, you'll notice that you'll be taking to this window where you
have a search bar. Or we can call this
the prompt bar. This is where we
input the prompt, which tells artificial
intelligence what we want. And near the prompt bar just
right up the search bar, you'll see that there are are not a certain number of credits or boosts visible. So every day in the service, you get 100 boosts
or 100 credits. So you can create 100 artificial intelligence
generated images every day. So once you have
exhausted the hundred, you cannot create any
more images for that day. You need to create artificial intelligence generated
images the next day. So basically, every day you get 100 images that you can create. So what are we going to create? Well, let's say we are writing
a book about dinosaurs, and there tendencies
and their nature. Or let's say you're writing a social media Instagram
post about dinosaurs. Or let's say you are creating a YouTube
video about dinosaurs. For that we'll need a picture. Now I'm going to tell being
image creator what we need. What we need is
dinosaurs flying. We want to create a book
or a social media post or a T video about dinosaurce flying and Dinosaurce
who could fly. So let's search for this. Let's create an image based
on this particular prompt. And it takes a bit
of time because this is a cloud based
service. It's online. You cannot download the
software to your computer. Basically, what you're
doing is you're creating the images using a browser and you
have four images over here of dinosaurs flying. Now, let's say we want something
that is more specific. Dinosaurs flying and fighting
each other in the sky. Let's say we are creating
a video or a book about predatory dinosaurs who
fought and ate each other. Does not sound
pleasant, but that is what we will attempt
to create right now. Let's see what images being
image creator gives us. So just have a little bit of patience because it does
not take a lot of time. And you have images of
dinosaurs flying and trying to eat each other up or
kill each other, basically. And as you can see,
you have a nice image over here of dinosaur flying. But let's say we want
to be more specific. We want to create
a book for kids, an informational book for
kids or a Btu video for kids, and kids like cartoons. So let's say you want a picture that looks like a cartoon. Specify this in the
surge bar over here. And then click on Create. So what I have done is I have specified that
I want a cartoon. So you can separate
the prompt from what sort of image
you want using a period or a full stop. So click on Create. And it's almost done. And as you can see,
you have cartoons of dinosaurs trying
to kill each other. Let's say you want something
else instead of cartoons. Let's say you want sepia images of dinosaurs trying
to kill each other. So I changed cartoon to sepia. Let's see what we get right now. Okay. As you can see, we have four sepia
images over here. Well, let's say we want
impressionist paintings of dinosaurs trying
to kill each other. Impressionism is an art form. It is a school of art, and you have famous
painters like Money who made
impressionist paintings. I'm going to specify that I
want impressionist images. So I'm going to write
impressionist in the surge bar and this
will follow the prompt. The prompt is dinosaurs flying and fighting
each other in the sky and after the period I'm
writing impressionist. So it's going to create
impressionist images. So the trick over here is to
be as specific as possible. Use your creative,
use your imagination. Try to imagine the picture you
want and then be specific. For instance, instead
of saying dinosaurs, I said dinosaurs flying and fighting each
other in the sky, and the artificial intelligence
image creator has created impressionist
paintings because I specified that I want
impressionist paintings. Let's go back to the
cartoon theme because we're going to stick
to the cartoon theme. Okay. And that is a
picture we will use for our book cover design
or social media post design or YouTube
come nail design. That is what we
are going to use. And we have a cartoon, four cartoon pictures of
dinosaurs flying and try to kill each other for dinosaurs
fighting, essentially. And I'm going to
download this image. And this has been downloaded
to my downloads folder. Now, let's say you
don't want to use B. What other options are there? The first option you have for creating images using
artificial intelligence is red dot O image creator. This particular image creator or AI generated image service
uses a similar pattern, uses a similar method. What you need to do
is you need to go to the search bar over here and specify what you
want, do source. Flying in the sky and
fighting each other. And I want cartoons. After the period, I'm entering cartoon I'm
writing cartoons, and click on generate. Now, the problem
with this services, you can generate only
five images every day. So once you're done with
generating five images, you have to wait
for the next day to generate five more images. So Microsoft Bing image creator is infinitely better than
this particular service. But if for some reason, Microsoft image creator is
not working or you don't have a microsoft accounter and
don't know how to use a microsoft account or
create a microsoft account, you can just go to the service
dO AI image generator. And for this, you
don't need an account. All you need to do is
to give you a prompt. Write your prompt in the
search bar click Generate, and this will generate
a nice picture for you, but you can only generate
five pictures every day. So this is taking a bit time. A bit of time, but let's wait. Let's see which
image looks better, the one generated
by d or the one generated by Microsoft
Bing image creator. The thing is that,
as you can see, Microsoft Bing image creator
is a much powerful service, much powerful software
application because it takes lesser amount of time while this
takes a lot of time. While we are waiting for this, let me show you some
other services from which you can get images. Now, let's say you don't want artificial intelligence
generated images. You want normal images, which are royalty free. You can go to Pix B, and I have PixAba in
my search results, but I'll click on Pix
and click on Pixi B. Again, this is a free service. All you need to do is
you need to sign up, create an account, sign up, and then you can search
for any images you want. The prompt over here or rather what sort of image I'm
looking for is basically dinosaur flying in the sky and fighting each
Let's click on Enter. And we do not get anything
because this is not an artificial intelligence
based image creator. Pixabay is a library of images. Let's just say dinosaur flying instead of everything else. And we have images and
royalty free images of dinosaurs flying
different images created by other people, and this is all royalty free. Now, let's say you
want something better. What can you do? You can go to Wikimedia Commons, Wikimedia Commons and
Wikimedia Commons houses a ton of pictures. Click on Wikimedia
Commons over here, or search for it,
as you can see, we have been taken to Wikimedia
Commons, right over here. What we'll search for
is die no source fly. And you have images of
dinosaurs flying like this one. But you basically get photographs
that people have taken, which are sometimes used
in Wikipedia articles. You get photographs from
books and stuff like that. So this is not something
that will help you create apo cover image or Bespoke book cover Bisk social media
post Bispoke YouTube coal. For that, what you need
is an image generator. And this image generator
is still taking some time, and I have no idea why. But basically, what
you can do is you can create AI generated
images from this two. Let's click on
download over here. And the image has
been generated. Let's look at the image. The image has been generated,
but for some reason, it's not showing the
image in the service. So this is the image
that has been generated. So more or less, those are the services
you can use for images. For Bispok artificial
intelligence created images. Use Microsoft being
image creator or D AI. And for Microsoft
being image creator, all you need to do is log in
with your microsoft account or create a Microsoft account
and log in every day, you get 100 images that you
can generate and download. So that's all for today's video. In the next lecture, I'm
going to show you how to use the image and create
a Pispok book cover, an Instagram post,
and a YouTube umbil. So there'll be three videos. In the series of lectures,
one for book cover, one for Instagram image, one for YouTube Tom.
Thank you so much. Okay.

4. Canva Walkthrough: Hey, everyone welcome
to a new echan. In today's chan, I'm going
to go through Canva. I'm going to give you a
quick walk through of Canva, and we'll see what we can do. So basically, as you can see over here in the Canva window, you have a bunch of
things that you can do. So Canva is saying over here
that you might want to try. Whiteboard document,
book cover, infographic, YouTube thumbnail,
YouTube banner, Instagram post, all
these things you can do. Then you can do Facebook
post flyer, Instagram story. So you can do presentations
over here as you can see the list of
options over here. Then you can do
social media stuff. You can edit photo, do Instagram
post, Whatsapp status. You can do all of that. You
can create some videos. You can create Facebook videos, Instagram, real TikTok video. And then you can
create a website too, you have templates for
creating a website. And as you can see, on the
left hand side over here, you have a bunch of
templates that you can use. You have templates for business, dogs presentation, prototypes, you have templates
for social media, Facebook posts, et,
Instagram posts, you have templates for video, Facebook video mobile
video messages. You have templates
for marketing, logos, flyers,
business, et cetera. And now, I'll go back to home, and now we have certain
number of apps, And the apps over here
text to image, markups, AI presenters, dynamic codes, as you can see, text
image over here, you can use it in a new
design or you can use it in existing design. Let's say we want to
create a Facebook cover, and Once you click on that, Canva will take you
to a new window, and it'll give you a bunch of templates that are
already there, which you can use. So that is more or less
what Canva is all about. It's not a very complicated
sort of layout. But like I said
before, it's a very, very powerful software in spite of the fact that it's very easy to use. It's user friendly. And as you can see, everything
is right over here, and you can find
things really easily. Now, let's say we want to
find something specific, go to the search bar and say, let's say, tyram post. And basically, what this
will do is this will give you templates
for Instagram posts. So all these templates
for Instagram posts. Now you can create a
completely new design or you can use an
existing template. What we will do over here is we will use an
existing templates so that it becomes easier for us to create something
that looks awesome. That being said,
thank you so much, and I'll see you in the next u
5. Create a Book Cover using Canva: Hey, everyone, welcome
to a new elect chan. In today's chan, I'm
going to show you how you can design a
book cover in Canva, using the image we created
using artificial intelligence. Now, let's go ahead and search for book cover in
the search bar, and we book cover over here. And we have a bunch
of templates. Now, some of these
templates are free. Some of these templates are
a part of the premium plan. What we need is a template that is not part of
the premium plan. So, let's search for a template that is not
part of the premium plan. And The one over here is not
part of the premium plan. So I'm going to click on this. This is the template
I'll be using. And as you can see v is recommending more
templates like this, so let's take a look at
this particular template, and let's design a book
cover using this template. Now, why did I use a template? I used a template
because template has everything nicely arranged. All you need to do is
replace a few things. Now, if I had to create a
book cover from scratch, I could do that too. But first, we'll see how
to do it using a template. So first thing, first, we are going to go to the
left hand panel over here. Over here, you have designs, you have designs over here different templates.
We have elements. So you can add lines, shapes, graphics,
stickers, photos, different photos that are
that are royalty free, you can add videos, all of this, you can add frames. So all of this, you can
add. Then you can add text. You can add a heading, a
subheading, body text. So essentially, you can do that. Then you have some stuff that are basically
specific to brands. You can draw. You have all the sketch pen
options over here. You can draw somewhat like this. I'm going to erase this. Using the eraser.
So you can draw. But what we need over here
is to upload our image. As you can see, I've
already one image uploaded. You can upload image
videos audios. For the book cover,
we'll need image. Click on upload files. Click on desktop over here or rather whatever you've
stored your image. I stored my image on my desktop, which I usually do, and
the image is loading. And now we have the
image right over here, and what we need to do is we need to click on
the image and drag it right over here. Now, as you can see, we
have the image over here. Now I'm going to do some edits. Now, we have a text box
right over here, right? As you can see, the place where my cursor is inside,
we have a text. Called Notebook. You can change the position of the
text box in the cover. I'm going to put it
right down here. And what I'm going to
do is I'm going to change the color of the text
and change the text itself. It's called Notebook now. Let's name it Dino. That is the name
of the book Dino. Now, highlight this text. Go to the text color option over here and select
a different color. Let's say we want glue. Let's say yellow. Yellow does not look good. Let's go for orange, and let's change the font. Over here, you have
a number of fonts, what you can use depends on you, and I'm going to
use archivo black because I want the
text to be bold. I can now add some effects
to animate all of that. But if you do that,
then you cannot save your book cover as a JPG or
PNG file as an image file. Then you have to
save it as a GIF. But I can add some
effects to the writing. So let's add a neon
effect right over here. And I've added a neon
effect right over here. Now, as you can see over here, we have some different
pictures over here. I don't want a flower picture, and I'm going to edit the
image over here and I'm going to add something different so that this flower
looks better. Not this one. I'm
going to use stripy. And it's changing the
image right over here, as you can see the
image is now brighter. Let's click on the
image again and change the color of the image.
Let's make it red. Or let's make it yellow. Now I have a yellow image. I can do the same for
the other images. I can edit image over here. I can change the color. I can flip the image, I can flip it horizontally. Let me change the color so
that you can see this better. Let me make this blue, as you can see the flower
is blue right now, I can flip it vertically. Now I'll flip it horizontally. Let's flip it horizontally and flip it vertically, perfect. But I don't like these images
as such in this book cover. I'm going to delete them. Okay. And there are some other images. I'm going to delete them too. As you can see, I'm
clicking on the images, and then is core giving me the option to
duplicate or delete. I'm deleting them. As you can see, I
have a book cover for a book called Dino. Now, let's change the position
of the name of the book. And what we can do is we can
click on position over here. We can change the alignment. Let's make it left aligned. Well, let's make
it middle aligned, and you can change the
width of the image. You can change the
height of the image, et cetera. Let's
change the width. Let's make it $1,300 less
bring it down over here. But now, as you can see, I have a nice image, I have a nice title
that looks good. Let me add some other effects. To make it look good. I'll increase the intensity of the effect of the neon effects so that it stands
out on the screen. And I'm going to add a
background and I'm going to make it somewhat transparent. I'm going to change the
transparency so that it's not completely opaque or not
completely transparent. But now I need to add
the name of the author because without the
name of the author, you cannot have a book. So I'm going to go to text, and I'm going to
go to add heading. As you can see a box
has appeared over here. I'm going to click on
the text over here. I'm going to highlight
it and delete the text, and I'm going to put a
name for the author. Let's say designer is
the name of the author. The name of the book will
go above right over here, and the name of the
author will come below. Shift the book name a bit higher and the book author
is called by Designer. Let's Change the font
size for this one. Let's make it a bit different. Let's use the Bokhari
script over here. As you can see, it's looking
kind of different right now. Change the font size
two and make it smaller hundred is perfect. Let's change the color and make it yellow or let's say blue. Now, I don't particularly
like the highlight over here, what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to X again and I'm going to make the highlight
completely transparent. Perfect. And as you can see, we have a book cover that
looks nice and it can look better depending on what you're doing
with the image. So be specific when
you're generating the image using artificial
intelligence because that'll help you to
create an image that looks beautiful that stands
out, that is bespoke. So that is how you do a book
cover using a template. Now, let's go back to home. Or first, let me show
you how to download. This click on Share Okay. Click on download
right over here, and you can choose the
file type for download. Use JPG and click on download
and it's downloading. And I'll take a bit of time to download and it's completed.
I'm downloading it. Nice. Looks nice. As you can see the
book cover has been downloaded right over here. This is the book cover.
Now, let's go back to Home's do another book cover. Okay. And this time, I'm going to do it from scratch. I'm choosing no
templates for this one. I'm choosing a blank
page for this one. First thing, first,
go to upload. You have the file over here. Yes, click drag and drop. You have the thing, you have the entire
image over here. Click on text, click on Add heading the heading will be
Do It's in black right now. We can change this. Let's use
some other funds over here. Okay. Let's use another color. Let's make it yellow. Let's increase the
font size to 140. Let's change the font type, let's use another
font. Let's use Aton. Let's go to and let's use the glitch effect right
now. This is what we have. The name of the
book Dyn further, author name, let me
add some graphics. Let me add a line first. Now, this line will
be, what did I do? I sell clicked on the
line over here and dragged it and dropped
it on the book cover. This line, I'm going to choose line color, let's make this red, and let's increase the line
weight so that it's deep red. Now that we have this
position, you can change, you can make it middle aligned, like this. You can make it top. You can make it porton. I do not like any of this.
I'm going to click on it, drag it just below
the name of the book. Now I'm going to write
the name of the author, and for that, I'm going to
use a square right over here. I'll show you what I'll
do with the square. Now, let's first
reshape the square. Square has a brown
background now, and I'm going to change that
brown background to white. So what did I do? I
clicked on the square. I went to the background color, and then I'm going to change it to you can change the shape too. You can make it
rounded like this. You can make it triangular. You can make it circular,
as you can see over here. I've made it circular and
less keep it as a circle. Because this kind of looks good. Now I'm going to include
some text in this. What I'm going to do is I'm
going to add a subheading. I'm going to click on the
sub heading right over here, and I'm going to drag and
drop it inside the circle. And the name I deleted
it by mistake, so I'm going to click on
the Serb heading option. Sledge sub heading option again. Now I'm going to
edit this and name the author call simple, small name that fits inside the circle or the
semicircle in this case. And I'm going to change the
color the entire color. I'm going to highlight the text, the entire text, and then I'm going to change the
color and make it purple. N Paul is the writer and
does the name of the book, and that is what you can
do with text and elements. Now I want something interesting so that
it draws in kids. Something animated. And what I'll do is
I'll add a graphics. Over here, as you can see
you have lines and shapes, you have graphics, you have
stickers, your videos, et. So I'm going to add
a Tumbbgraphics. That's too big for my liking, so I'm going to
reduce the size of this graphic and
keep it over here, and I'm going to add a camera right over here. Now, as you can see, we
have a new book cover. Now, we won't be able to save this book cover as a PNG or
JPG image. I'll show you why. Click on download. Okay. You can save this as a GIF because there's
some animation over here. You can save this as MP four, because again, there's some animation
over here right over here. If you save it as JPG, it will not save the animation. So the camera will become
just a still camera. It'll not bounce up and down, as you can see in the
animation right over here. The camera is
bouncing up and down. So if you save it as
PG or as an image, it will not save the animation, but we want it as an image, so we'll save it as an image. And let's see what we get. And as you can see over
here, we have a new picture. And this is the book
cover we generated. It's called Dino is by N Paul. You have a nice thumbs
up sign over here, and the camera right over here. As you can see, it's
no longer animated, it's not bouncing up and down. So this is the book
cover we created. So that's all for this
video, in the next video. In the next lecture, I'll
show you how you can create an Instagram post. Thank you so much.
6. Create an Instagram Post using Canva: Hey, everyone, welcome to a new lecture and
in today's lecture, I'm going to show you how
to create Instagram posts. Now the benefit of
knowing how to create Instagram posts is that if you know how to
create Instagram post, you can create Facebook posts, you can create Twitter posts. So it's more or
less the same kind of process, and as you see, similar to the process which we use to
create a book cover. So first thing I'm
going to do is search for Instagram posts. And this will hit enter. This will give me a
few templates that I can hopefully use to
create Instagram post. Now, I'm going to use
a basic template. And the template I'm using is the white modern aesthetic
right over here. Click on this. Then click on customize
this template. And the template is
loading and it has loaded. Now, what we have over here is a picture
in the background, and the picture basically
has some text written on it. Now what we are going to do
is we've delete this picture. And we're going to
delete the flowers over here, click on them, and click on the Trash icon, and we're going to
keep the text boxes. Text box where set, be comforted, dear
soul, et cetera, and the text box, which shows from where the text of
the coat was taken. Now, go to the left
panel, click on Upload. Click on the Dinosaur
picture and drag it. And place it in the workspace. Now you have some text
box over here and the text boxes have texts that are not very legible or visual
visible right now. What I'm going to do is I'm
going to go to elements. And then I'm going
to select a graphic. I'm going to select the
square box over here. What I'll do is I'll increase the size of the square box
so that it encompasses the entire text and the name of the website from
which the code was taken, and I'm going to change
the color of the text box. In fact, let's change the box itself, let's
make it square. Then what I'll do is
I'll change the color of the text box to gray. Lsterlight blue looks
better, fits the theme. Now I'm going to edit the text. Delete it, double click
on it, delete it, highlighted, delete
it and say Dios. Essentially, you can say anything you want to say because it's going to be
your Instagram post, Dios for each other. So we must learn from them
and not repeat the mistake. Dianosp each other, so we can learn from them and not
repeat the mistake. That's what I have
written in the text box. Now, in the Other box where the name of the
website was given, let's attribute this
quote to Mr. N Paul. Who is a fictional character? Let's highlight Mr. N Paul
over here and increase the font size of the text. And we can do the same
with the quotation, increase the font size a bit. Now we have a nice
code over here and we're going to increase
the size of the box. Now, you can do a couple of things with this sort of setup. What you can do is you
can select the text box. Control click if
you're using a mac or right click if you're
using a Windows computer. Control click and right click, and you have this
list over here. Now you can can lay the text boxes, the
images, everything. What you can do is you can bring it to the front, you
can send it backwards. You can bring it
forward, send it back. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to send it backwards. As you can see, the text
has been sent backwards. Now, how do we retrieve this? Quite simple. Click on
the text box again. Or rather click on the
box that contained the text and click on the
text box that was hidden behind that box and then go to layer and click on
bring to front. And now that now we are going to put the text
put the box behind the text box or rather
the background for the text back where it was the square box
that we created. And as you can see, the text has been brought
back to the front. I'm going to adjust to adjust it a bit and we
can change the font size. We can change the color. We can change the font. We can do a lot of
different things. Let's make it bold because I like bold stuff.
Let's make it bold. This has increased
the size of the text. So I'm going to do
some adjustments. Perfect. And this N pol name, I'm going to make it bold two, and I'm going to make some adjustments to
where it is placed, which I can obviously do
from X two or position two. Now let's click on this
and let's click on X, and let's make the name on, and let's make the
text over here on two. I did this by clicking
on fx but it's not looking good with the
neon kind of effect. So I'm going to
change it to cool. Again, it's not looking
good, change it to echo. Looks perfect. And
now what we can do is we can click on this
and we can animate this. So we can tell Canva
whether the text pans in, it rises, it pops. It wipes, it breathes
baseline drift, et, etcetera. Whether it looks like
a typewriter writing. So let's click on typewriter. The text is being displayed
one word at a time. Let's click on the
other text box. Go to animate again,
and let's click on. Let's go to animate again. And let's click on pop. Animate on it. Or animate on enter or animate both on
exist exit and enter. You can do all of
this. You can change the speed of the animation, so you can do a ton
of different things. So you cannot change the speed of the animation using
the free version. For that, you need
the pro version, but you can basically animate. So I've assigned, I've attached typewriter
animation to the text. So the text basically
appears one word at a time, and the name pops up. That is the animation
I've given it. Now, let's add some
animation to the text box, and the text box basically, let's say it It bands in. On Enter, pans in on Enter. It's not looking that great. So let's give it. Let's go
to rise and click on Rs. Well, again, it's not
looking that great, so we can use the
animation over here. You can assign the pop
animation to the text box. And now we have animated it. That is how you animate text or animate figures or elements or shapes or pictures,
et in Canva. Now you can animate the entire
background picture two. Let's make this drift in. I've animated the
background picture. So what did I do?
I clicked on it. Then I clicked on Animate, and then I assigned
an animation. I can remove the animation
from the background picture. As you can see, now it's
no longer animated, but I want to animate it, so I'm going to
click on animate. And I'm going to
assign pan in or pop. I like pop better. I'm going to click on pop the entire Flick Censtogram
post has been animated. Now, let's say, I want to
use a sticker on this. Let's see what stickers
we have available. It's a book cover that
you're putting on Instagram, so let's use the book sticker. Let's click on it,
drag and drop it on the Instagram post
that we have over here. Let's produce the size over
here so that it's smaller. Click on this. You can
change the position. You can move it to the middle, you can move it to the top, you can move it to the
bottom right over here, using the position option. Click on the position
button and do that. You can crop and
make it 16 by nine, or you can make it one is one, I'll keep it one to
one. Click on done. You can flip this, click on
flip, flip horizontally. You can do that too. So that is what you can do
with the sticker. And the transparency thing, you can change, you can
make it more transparent. And you can change, you can copy the style, you can do a lot of
different things. Basically what we have is an animated Instagram
post over here. What I'm going to do with this is I'm going to share this, and I'll download this first and then I'll
manually upload it to Instagram or rather you can manually upload whatever
you have made to Instagram. Click on GIF and
click on download. So we are saving this as GIF. So downloading, And this
will take a bit of time. So just be a bit patient. So as you can see, you
can make similar posts for Facebook Twitter and it follows the same
kind of process, the same sort of tools are used. The tools remain the same. The templates change. But you can animate, you can add different pictures
that you have created. You can add stickers, you
can animate the text like I did in this particular
Instagram post, and you get a nice animated Instagram post that
you can upload. You can save this as an MP four, or you can save this as a GIF. I've saved it as a GIF. Let's take a look
at how this looks. All this has not downloaded. So let's see if this has
been downloaded now. There's some problem
with the GIF download. So what I'll do is
I'll go ahead and download this as an MP four. But you should be able
to download it as a GIF. And then we'll take a look
at what we have created. And if you don't want animation, you can just create
a plain old picture with text on it with some different shapes on it,
with some stickers on it. But this makes it
look much better. In the next lecture, I'm going to show you how
to create a Tu thumb nail. Now, for thumbnails, you
don't need animation. You don't need to create any sort of animation
stickers and stuff like that. It's a plain simple.
Use a picture. Use a template and
create a thumbnail. That's what we will do
in the next lecture, and now it has been downloaded. As you can see, we have the post right over here with the animation
and everything. It's eight second post. Dinos for each
other, everything, you can see right over here. That is how you create
an Instagram post. That's about it
for this lecture.
7. Creating a YouTube thumbnail using Canva: Hey, everyone, welcome to a new elect channel
in today's lecture, I'm going to show you how
to make YouTube thumbs. The thumbnails are very important for
YouTube because they should tell the audience
what the video is all about. And they should be eye catching. They should be attractive so
that it can draw audiences. But when it comes to thumbnails, you cannot add a
lot of animations. You can add some
effects, but you cannot add a lot of animations
and stuff like that. So it has to be a JPG
picture, simple picture. But what we need for
creating a nice thumb line is a picture that explains
what the video is all about, and a nice template which Canva is going to
provide us with. YouTube thumb mail. Search for this and Kanva
will propose some templates. Now let's do this from scratch. Shall we instead of
using a template. Let's do this from scratch. Oh, I've had a change of heart. Let's use a template. Let's use a template, and let's see what we
can make out of it. I have to select a template
that fits our theme. You have a lot of
travel blog and stuff like that
templates over here. We'll use this
particular template. It's a simple template. We are going to
keep this picture, the picture of the
man over here. What we are going to delete
is the background image. So we have deleted this
and what we are going to delete are these stripes
right over here. We'll delete all of this
and we'll keep the text. We'll go to up next and
then we're going to drag and drop this entire picture. Okay. Okay. Right on the workspace over
the template that we had. We're going to click
on this man's picture, let's say this man is Paul. Now he's not obviously is
someone from somewhere, but let's say this man is the man who is
making a video about dinosaurs or dinos who can
ply and eat each other up. Let's click on this picture. Control click or right click
and click on bring to front. Now, what we're going to do is we're going to place the
background image where it was. Now, what we can do with this picture is we can
make this smaller. And we can drag this to the bottom right corner so that it does not take
up a lot of real estate, and then we can change the text. We can edit the text. Let's
call this dinos ping. That's the video we're making and the maker
of the video is N. Now we can change the color, we can change the font already showing you how to
do all of that, make we'll make
the color of N P. Let's say we make it plaque. And then we'll pull the
text boxes to the side of the middle of the image
or middle of the thumbnail. Unless on further reflection, let's make the color of N Paul orange because orange seems to go well
with this background. Unlets say we're trying to
create a video for kids, so it has to be colorful. We'll make the title of the video Dinos
flying orange two. And this man's picture, as you can see over here, we
can rotate. What did I do? I clicked on the picture
and went down here to the rotation tool and you can rotate it as
much as you want. But we'll keep it as it was. Again, click on the
picture and go to the rotation tool right over
where my cursor is hovering. We'll keep this man's
picture right over there, and we have named the
video Dinos flying. Now let's go ahead and add some effects to this and
then we'll leave it at that. We'll add the neon effect
just to attract people and we'll pull the name
of the video creator N p or name of the channel
N pol down to the bottom, and we're going to add
some effects to that too. We're going to make it neon two, so that it pops up
the dinos flying. So there are a lot of
things you can do, and this is what you can do
to create a Tuethumbnil. It's not rocket science. It's
a fairly simple process. Like I said, you
can rotate stuff. You can add new stuff, you can change the template
that you're using. You can change the
picture over here, the picture of the
man over here with your own picture that
you already have. You can change the
background picture to something that you're
making a video about. Let's pull this library
picture right over here. And as you can see, I replace the background picture
with the library picture, but I don't want that. I want to keep this as it is. And you can change the
name of the video. You can do a lot of
different things. So we'll leave it at
that. Thank you so much. Thank you for watching
in the next video, I'll discuss the project.
Thank you so much.
8. Final Project : Hey, everyone, welcome
to the last lecture for the artificial intelligence and graphic design to create
awesome cover images, social media posts and
thumbnails, lecture series. And in today's lecture, I'm going to talk about
the final project. So the instructions for the final project are
kind of like this. You have to create an artificial intelligence
generated image using the birds building
their nest prompt. So the prompt you're going to use on being image creator or any other artificial intelligence
driven image creator will be birds
building their nest. So that is your prompt. Now, once you have the artificial intelligence
generated images, go to Canva and create
a book cover in Canva. Add your necessary material
to the book cover, including name of the book, and that can be a name of your choice and add
some auth name. And then using the same artificial intelligence
generated image, create an animated
Instagram post, as you saw in the lecture where I created
an animated Instagram post. And finally, create
an YouTube thumbnail. And then once you're done, upload the book cover Instagram
post YouTube thumbnail to this platform. That's all best to pluck. I'll see you in some other
course. Thank you so much.
