When posting your project, I would like to hear about your process inspiration, anything you have in mind while making it. It gives me a better insight into your work and help you better connect with you. 3. Getting to Know the Brand, Layout Planning and Getting Started: Hello guys and welcome. And my name is Brian. I'll be teaching you how to create whoso medipo template that you can use to your brand that you're working or personal brand. You can create your own template here and I'm going to show you step by step our main objective or goal in this class. Design a social media content for this company called Plant House, basically. And ideally, we need a strong and established branding before creating contents like the logo funds, color, and other assets that define your brand so your audience will not be confused. So I'm going to be using these two funds right here for this project right here. So it's going to be Gill Sans and Rock By. So you can download it, you can just Google it. A quick guide for this. We're going to be dealing with plant stores. The store branding is going to be like a boho, boho look or style. It's going to be a combination of pattern, texture. And to tie up together, it's going to be the color that we're working. Pretty much going to be using just three of this one I'll be using this probably this, this one right here, white tone. These are my main colors that I'll be, the photo you'll be using has pretty much the same tone of the color, if that makes sense. A call to action, good context to tie them together. I'm going to be using a square layout, mostly 2,500 pixel by 2000 pixel in 150 DPI. I might be going even 300 if I wanted to have a crispy result or image transporting it as a PNG. Because it's not really that compressed compared to J Peg, because Jpeg is like a very compressed. I'll be using this kind of pattern all over the place. So they're just going to put this like a shadow or some, but you'll see it how I render it on the next few videos, we're probably going to use this as well, this temp texture right here to create texture because boo is like a texture and pattern, that's a combination. That's why we're creating this brending right now so we were not going to confuse along the way when we're create the social media pose. The layout is just going to be the guide. It's not going to make or define the entire pose forever, but this is just like what is trending at the moment, I'm going to be creating four pose in a square. So kind of like this. So the first one that we're going to make is going to be like a review or testimonial. I'm thinking kind of organic shape right here with images overlay behind it. The text in here, the name of the person right here, texture along the way. So it gives you more like a definition of boo thinking. We could divide it into something like since we offer like delivery for flowers or plants, we could incorporate kind like a phone here, put an image on the phone, like someone who holds a plant, and then we deliver here to action here as well. That we probably need to put the logo here just for brand awareness since we're just starting, just going to put it L, it means logo, going to be showing our product or the plant products in here. We probably need to get four windows here. This like a text and photo here. Probably photo and text or call to action as well. Here, run awareness or statement going to divide it into a half and we're going to put a image here. We could probably put maybe another statement here or codes, a little bit of fine print and pretty much it, we just need to put some awareness. We could put the logo here as well. We can actually create our color palette. Now since we're here, create new palette plant. House or house plant. We could easily get this color right here. So I'm going to just point here and point there. This one here. And then just point there as well. So it just gives you probably we'll just put all of them, but the three colors here are the one that it's going to be our main color. Oops, there you go. We have our new plant house, and it's all check right here. If I go to this, I can clear this out and I have my color palette established here. On the next video, we're just going to start creating our template and see you guys there. Thank you. 4. Product Template: Hello guys, thank you for tuning in. And this is the second part of the video where we actually create one of our template that we establish. We have our front ready color palette, our images. We establish the layout as well here and the patterns. And we're going to create a 2,500 by 2,500 The DPI, I'm going to just go 150 here so we have more layers here. Just going to set the profile, make sure that it's on RGB so we have more colors going to create. I'm going to make sure that I have a good alignment to address that, I'm just going to go to my canvas here. I'm going to turn on my drawing guide and then edit drawing guide. You can just make sure that you have a good alignment on each side. So you can just well establish that just like this, I'm not sure if you can see it, but I'm just going to go from the grid size here. You can go ahead and do kind of like this here to make sure that I have kind of a ruler here. So I don't have to worry if I went too far on all the sides. The first template that I'm going to do is this one right here. So we're going to show off our product. I'm going to make our monoline brush here. I'm going to create a square here. It's quite easy actually. Here in procreate, you could just do this and you can do edit shape and you just get to a line here. Since we have our own like the grid, I'm just going to fill that in. Then I'm going to copy this one right here. Duplicate. Actually, you got to put it here and I just want to make sure that I hit all the places. This one right here, I'm going to put it here. Just going to rename it so I know. I'm just going to make sure. So this is up pick up. And just pick down. I know. Because it might be confusing later on if you have a lot of layers, you don't know. Since we have this we can actually put our images right now. I could just add some images here. We want to show off our product or our plants here. I'm thinking I have all the plants product in here. We could just choose one. I think I'm going to go with a cactus here. For now, you can put the layer of the cactus on top. You can just maximize it that fits into this grid right here. All we have to do is to clip it. Clipping mass. And it's clip all here and you can modify the plant to your liking just like this. I think that's good enough. We can insert another photo, which is probably this one because they go have the same color Vive. I'm just going to put them right here and make sure that the layer is just above the pick down. And I could just clip it. I can just modify it as well, just like this. We could establish our background to our color palette here, since we loaded up here before we started. We can just have it just like that. Probably we could turn off or we could decrease the opacity of our guideline here because it's too much. I want to make sure that I still have that alignment here or the grid, so I can still know where were not to put or not. I guess that's good enough for me. And you can see it beginning to resonate the boho feel. I'm going to just put a little bit of text here. A placeholder since we establish, I'm just going to put the text on top of everything, I won't miss it up and it just clip automatically. I'm just going to unclip it, make sure that I'm going to change the font. I think I'm going to go for the first font that we established, This one, Rocky. I'm going to go change this up to become a plant. I'm going to make sure that I'm going to select it all and I'm going to hit this alignment to the left. It's easier to manipulate and I could just make this big. I'm not really happy with the background, It doesn't give a good contrast with the content. I'm going to change the background. It's very easy because I use the background here. I'm going to go with the green and see if that makes a big difference. Now this is good the color, but I'm not really because as you can see, the tone here is white and green. So I want to make sure that make it lighter. So I'm going to use one of our color palette here just to brighten up a little bit because it's too much color going on. Put something here as well, so I'm going to just put another text here, Visit Us. It's like a call to action. Use the other font. I'm going to use the Gil songs. And here it doesn't compete with our main statement there. Could probably just put it here or something like this. For brand awareness, I will insert our logo here. Plant House could probably just put it here on this side. Probably one more. Let's celebrate. Add like emojis here and it just sets the tone as well that you're free spirited. I want to make sure that it doesn't stand out pretty much, so I'm going to reduce the opacity of Let's celebrate. It doesn't really stand out pretty much because I want to have the eyes tarpire goes like Z pattern. Yeah, I think this is a good post for products and we're not really really kind of selling, but we're putting all the plants in a good place. But since this is a template, you can insert different images. You can just go insert photo. You can do a batch here. Since we can just clip the image here, make sure that you pick up, you can just clip it and you have a new image on there. We could put another one here. Just another example. We want to make sure that it's below here. You can see you're going to have another plant here just like this. You can pretty much change the background to your branding and you can also change the color of the text, just like that, pretty much every month. You can change it or switch it up a little bit. You can probably, you can change this to here. You can even overlay the text in there. Just to give you an idea, Before we end, I probably want to introduce some of the pattern here, just above the background. I'm going to create a new layer. I want to make sure that it's above the background, so I'm going to put pattern here. I'm just going to introduce it before we end this. So we have it all here. I'm going to probably use the star here. You can always create your stamp here. There's probably a video on Creative Fabric 1233 classes on how to make stamp appropriate. So you just want to click one of them for the pattern. I'm going to use the star or the flower. Let's try the flower, how it does it go. So I'm going to click the plant house color palette here. I'm just going to lighten it up a little bit. It does not distract as you can see. There's like a texture going on here. It's just nice touch that will set you apart from other posts. You can even make the size bigger and all that. It does, it looks a little bit more dynamic. As you can see, it just sets the tone and a little bit more defined branding. As you can see, since we establish a pattern, it does give a, maybe it's too much, but you can pretty much, since this is on another layer, you can always disable it, enable it, you can add another layer. If you don't want this, you can have the other pattern that we established on the video. I guess this is going to work as well. It just gives you a little bit of identity and strong branding. If you have this fine detailed thought out. I'm going to see you on the next video where we create another layout for our template. See you guys there. 5. Review Template: Thank you guys for tuning in. And on this part of the video, we're just going to go straight in. I'm going to create a new canvas and we could actually use this one right here, swipe to the left, and then probably edit. And I'm going to just rename it to Square, so we can always reuse it, so I'm just going to put it right here. So the next one that we're going to create, it's going to be kind of like a review or testimonial to set the background first, I'm thinking I'm going to go this lighter color right here, like off white. And I'm going to use my monoline brush here and I'm going to create a circle right here, its shape. And I'm just going to fill it up with green. It doesn't really matter at this point because we're just going to use this for clipping the image. I'm going to warp this here On the transform tool, I'm going to use the warp here. And I'm just going to create kind of like a boho organic shape. And I think this is kind of good. I'm going to click to you in the form so I can make it smaller or bigger. But for now I'm going to use it just like this, probably modify quite a bit here. And I'm going to insert one of our photo here of someone holding the plant. By the way guys, I'm using splash for the photo I'm using or Pexels. It's the one that doesn't look like stock photo. I'm going to clip this one right here. So it clips into the shape that we just created. And I'm probably going to duplicate this one. And I just did duplicate the shape on the layer one below it. I'm going to go transform. I'm going to alter the orientation. You can even flip it and reverse something like this. You can even make this bigger, right here. I'm going to duplicate this one as well. I'm going to color it to one of our color here. Probably this. I'm going to just drop the color. Probably put it a little bit there. I'm just experimenting here. I probably will decrease the opacity just to give it an overlay look. We could put the logo for brand awareness that the brand is Plant House, something like that. It's just a little bit texture right there. And by the way, we can always turn on our drawing guide here, added drawing, so we have just a helping hand with red alignment and our margins. It still look professional if we have that established in Sir text. I'm just going to put it right here. I'm going to put another like the name of the customer. All right. We can add a texture on the background, on the layer one, The first layer after the background going to create a new layer right here. Yeah, it gives you that since it's on its own layer, I can decrease the opacity to something like this. You can see the texture right there. It's not that pronounced, but it gives a little bit more organic feeling. Try to see if this one works here. Yeah, it kind of looks good probably here as well, but good thing about here. I could always insert a photo from another person like this one here. Another customer who wants to give a review to the store. So I could just clip it and then change. Yeah, something like this. We could always change the background like this. I'll see you on the next video, which we're going to create the service that the company offers, so that's a different layout. So I'll see you there. 6. Service Template: We're going to straight up create a new canvas, so it's going to be a square. And we're going to establish our background right now. And for this one, I'm going to turn on our drawing guide here and edit Drawing Guide, Just to give us kind of a ruler here, I'm going to insert first our first image here. It's going to be like a phone somewhere here, here, not crossing the margin. What I'm going to do here, since I'm on the layer of the phone, I'm going to hit selection here. I'm going to go for automatic. And I'm just going to select the screen. Just the screen. And then I'm going to go three hands copy it, paste it. As you can see, there's a new layer. I can just turn it on and then I could just insert a photo. I like this guy right here. I'm going to make sure that it fits on the phone. Just a test. And then I could just clip it to the screen just like that. And I could modify it just like this. I'm going to get the monoline brush or like this. I'm going to drop a color there, so it just gives it a color effect. I can modify the shape with free form, probably I could put it just like this. I'm going to insert a text here. I'm going to just edit the text to we deliver, make sure that it has a good contrast because I want to overlap the text on the screen so it's a little bit more dynamic. Put the logo for brand awareness. And I could always freely move, we deliver here, fix the letting closer to each other. Add a more context here. Like a handwriting. I don't know if it's going to work, but I'm your plants, I think that's good. Has its own layer, so I can always manipulate where it's going to go, a layer on top of everything. I'm going to use the monoline brush just for a call to action here, another text. For the call to action, I'm going to change the font to order something like that. We'll see if it's going to fit free for order $50 up. I think that's good. What we're going to do now is to add a texture. I will be using the texture of this one right here. Markings going to get at the base color. I'm going to make it a little bit brighter and then I'm just going to put something. I don't really mind going everywhere because I can always clip it to the layer for if you clip it, it just going to be limited to the main shape. You can always change the image here, like what we did before right here. Let's clip to the phone. I'm just going to decrease the opacity of the texture that we created. It's not overwhelming. Just the problem right here is the deliver. Not a good contrast. I could probably fix that. And I'm going to duplicate it. I think it's going to be okay for now since it's just a picture. If we switch it to this guy right here, it does solve the issue. I think we're good with this one. We have another post. It's very customizable. We could change the color of this one. You can just drop it just like this right here. We could we have a post for the service that we offer. Yeah, I'll see you on the next one. Will we finalize and create the last template? See you guys there. 7. Statement Template: So we're pretty much done with the review. We're pretty much done with the product, the service we just did a while ago. And now it's going to be the awareness or kind of a statement. So this is going to be our last image here. It's going to go to my layers, change the background with the green one. I'm going to move this photo actually because it doesn't seem like a half, half. Insert a text, Change it to one right here and it still has a good contrast with the background and domain image. Fix the letting of the text. So I'm going to just make it closer quite a bit, just like this. And I'm going to put the logo for brand awareness. And you could place the logo pretty much everywhere or you can put it here like a sticker. I'm going to add another text, something just like this. Just to give it a follow up on what we're standing on. The line brush, something like this, and fill it with color. Quite a statement, But you can always turn it off and you still have a good layout. You can change the background to something like this. You can always change the picture, even put it just like this, but I can just clip it on the image itself. You could start putting some texture to it. I kind of love everything that we did here. Just going to group them together. So we have one folder for everything for this project. I'm just going to click the name here. And then when we get in, we have our whole template here and we can start editing. So we'll start exporting on the next video and we're going to put it into our Instagram account and see how it looks in real life. All right, I'll see you right there. 8. Exporting and Conclusion: Well guys, thank you for tuning in. So I'm going to export all our assets right here. So I'm going to start with this, I'm going to export it, share. And then I'm going to go for PNG. I'm going to save it on our image. So I'm going to do pretty much turn it off and then we're going to do the same with the other specimen. All right guys. So I was able to export everything and posted in plan house Instagram account. You can also use this photo on Facebook or any platform of social media. They pretty much share the same sizes and dimension over a rescript right here and some a highlight. I sandwich it with like a normal pictures with a nice colors that goes with the tone or the brand. But as you can see, it's all sandwiched with social media post strategy that we created. It doesn't look like it's all like posted with all this slab of green All look aesthetically pleasing and goes with the brand identity and guidelines. And you can see it has a good contrast with white. Let's go back to the first one. It does look good and the texture that we created gives it a little bit more of personality and character, and uniqueness to the post compared to if it's just like plain green background product review, it's good. We still have those textures that we put in this tiny fine details right here and it still looks good. It goes with the colors are amazing. The writing is just sharp, as easy to read even in the phone. If I switches like this, this is kind of like the phone size. I can still read it from even like five or 67, 10 " away, so that's good. Now one of our features that we offer the contrast issue right there. Thank you so much guys, and I hope you learn something. See you on the next video. 9. Project 2: Class project: For this project, you will create a couple of social media posts that resonates with what you're passionate about. The main goal is to play with colors, textures, and patterns. Be relevant and mindful of all the elements you're putting in. Also, to cut and clip images and blend them together to create a seamless and cohesive posts. You can create your own post or you can follow along with me. You can download all the materials on the project and resolve a step when posting your project. I would like to hear about your process inspiration, anything you have in mind while making it. It gives me a better insight into your artwork and help you better connect with you. 10. Brief Description and Layout: What we're going to do today is going to be template for Instagram post or social media posts for Pet shop. Let's go for a guideline of how are we going to start create our own social media post. This is actually applicable for any type of social media posts. You can utilize this technique. All you have to do is put your friend guidelines, your fonts and colors. It's going to be a social media template, or you need to have a guideline when you are reading a post for a company or for your brand, just to make sure that it's consistent and so your viewer won't be confused of what you really are and what you're trying to, you know, to put out there. And these are the guidelines of what we're going to on guidelines is going to be friendly and written, so I custom made a fund for this project. Color tone is going to be a little bit of warm and a bit of cold. So in between has a good contrast with the elements. These are the funds created a custom fund for this project, but you can pretty much choose any funds that you like. And these are the colors. Colors kind of warm to kind of cold tone. We need this to blend in with, you know, animals are usually this kind of color, usually dogs. And we're going to be using, so we're going to be posting it on Facebook. It's going to be 2,500 pixels by 2,500 pixels. We're going to go with 150 PPI or DPI. So we have a good result with the quality of the image we're going to be exporting as a PNG, but feel free to do it on Jpeg. It's just PNG is a little bit less compressed compared to J peg. We're just going to use PNG for this. These are the fine details beside the font, the colors, and the guidelines we have. The patterns that we can also incorporate into the posts, We will get into these details. Moreover, they have here textures. And it just gives it more human touch spirit to just like a plain colors with text. So the layout is going to be just the guidelines on how we create it, so we have a consistent and it's just going to be like guidelines it's not going to set or it's going to not going to be forever. We're going to start with reviewing testimonial. So we can put like a text here and kind of photo here and overlay. And on the background it's going to be kind of like texture to give it kind of visual interest. And for the service since we offer like delivery for pets like grooming and treats, we will put that as well in here. So we're going to put like a phone in here like an app for the store. And then we can put cult actions here and some text, big text, short and sweet. So it's easier to digest. Photo here, text photo and like cult actions there of a statement that we are who we are and this is what we do, This is our mission. So kind of a little bit of text in here, probably a little bit of text to pack it up. And a little bit of photo here of kind of a pet or someone who's holding their pet and they're pretty happy. 11. Product Template: All right guys, this is the time where we create our post. We established that we're going to create a canvas of 2,500 pixels. If you're not on pixel mode, you can just change it. Just here is 2,500 our DPI is 150. I think that's going to be enough for screen, but if we're printing, I think we have to go 300, but we're not printing. Make sure that you're on RGP, so make sure that you get all the colors. So we're going to create and you get your own square post ready to fill up with some good stuff. This is going to be a photo here, here, and some statement here, and call to action. That's what we're going to do exactly. But before that, we have to establish our margins and guidelines. Actions here, if you want to go drawing guide and edit drawing guide, you can establish a good alignment here. If you go to grid size, make sure you're into the grid. You can go grid size like this. I'm going to increased capacity. So you can see you should have a grid size here. You can go all the way until you don't have other lines here. It's just like a four sections. And you should have a better chance to have all the objects in good places clear up the layer right here. And I have a clear canvas size with my ruler. Get your monoline brush. We're going to fill this up with shape so we can clip our image after this. I will just hold my pencil here. It will give you a, a straight line and we can edit the shape. If you want to be precise, we can do some minor adjustment here and there. Okay, I guess that's good. And I'm going to fill it up with color. You just have to drop the colors right there. I will duplicate the first layer here. And I'm just going to position it here. I will just rename this one because I'm going to clip some images and since I don't have any distinction on what they are, I could probably put colors. But it's better to rename it. I'll put this one up. I'm going to put this down. When I clip the image, I know which one to go. I'm going to insert the photo right now and just put it here. I know that it's down. So I'm going to clip it. So I'm going to clip it. It stays on that container. I'm going to insert another photo of a nice cute cat right there. I will, just above the player, clip it. Just like this. I can just rearrange them just like this. I think it's cool. I could change the background easily with the color palette that we set. I'm just going to go to my color here and I'm going to go here. I have my color palette load in here. So I'm going to select this set us default. And you should see it on the layer of the background. So I can just go ahead and pick that right there. So I can just go change the color right here. We could change the image if it doesn't go with the background. I think there's a problem with the images. I think the images are very busy. So I would like to change the images to something less busy alternative. I could just bring it down and it should clip automatically. Probably change this one more time. Let's see if I have, I think this is quite good since they have the good color combination. Now, I could start putting some text here to fill up like information on the action. I could go insert text and I could start become a parent. I think that's good. I could add a text here. I could just select all. I'm going to change it to the fund I created for this course. I'm going to go with this one. This fund is a custom fund that I created. There's another problem here. I'm going to make sure that align to the left. It's easier to read. I guess it's cool to be here. I'm going to put some text here as well here. I'm going to put like a call to action visit us. I'm going to put it something here. I'm going to put it here for more information. Probably put the dog. I do, King, just to give it a playful twist, I forgot to change the fonts. I'm just going to select all of it. I'm going to go for Gill Sans, something here, just for a variation of fonts. I think the good enough for this, I could put this here just at the bottom. And now I could turn on again the, the drawing guide just to make sure I don't go beyond the margin. It still looks good. I could put the snapping here just to give it like a good alignment with the square or the container. This one gives me a good alignment and also to visit us, make sure that you can see the alignments here. I'm not sure if it's visible, but I think it is something like this and this one that become our parents. It's not going to be in the center, but I want to put it center. Something like that could even make it bigger. It's a bolder statement. This visit, I could probably make it bigger, something like this. Let's see if I could think it's too low, so I'm going to just put it somewhere here. I could turn off the drawing guide to see how it looks. I think it's quite good. I have a good sense with what's going on here. It's a minimal post. Now I could put another layer and I'll put it just below the up layer here. I could start putting the texture, a nice touch to it. So I could go here, texture, probably going to go tine, or this one right here probably will color it. This one right here, you should probably get, this looks like like a denim also. You can do this one right here. I'm going to get this color. I'm going to make it a little lighter. I'm going to go to disc probably something like this. It doesn't overwhelm the entire canvas. Something like this. A better personality here, vintage here. This is also a good texture. Think I prefer this one. I'm going to go to that layer, I'm going to clear up. I think it's a little bit more playful, this texture. Let's see, I could change this. It's on myrtle. If you go to Vintage, there's a little bit more nicer texture here. We could just decrease the opacity. It's not overwhelming, but I think it's pretty bold and easy to read. It's not distracting. It's a minimal design. We put some texture here. The dogs are just the main focus of this one. Yeah, this is pretty much done. I'll see you guys on Expedia. 12. Review Template: All right, let's go straight ahead and create a new canvas. So I have my history here. So the same canvas size, 2,500 by 2,500 So as we establish on the layout, we will have something here like image of the dog or with the owner, a background kind of lighter tones. The texture that we establish. We're going to put some testimonial here and also the name of the customer or the dog, and we're just going to do that as what we explained. We need to establish our drawing guide. So I'm going to do the same thing, layer. I'm going to delete this one here. I'm going to create a circle. Make sure it's perfectly circle. I'm just going to top a little bit here. And that's a perfect circle and I'm going to pull it in with any colors. We're going to go for transform or arrow here, we're going to go warp. And we could make it a nice shape here, some organic shape. And I think that's good enough. We can duplicate it to give it the other tone. Make sure that you're a uniform, so you have that. I'm going to turn off the snapping because I don't need it at the moment. I'm going to put the first layer in front. Insert some of images here, just to put this one because it looks like it's very nice. I'm going to clip it just like that. That should give us some idea how it looks. Probably will make the shape bigger here because they have or my position it just like this. I'm going to delete the first layer and I'm just going to copy this layer right here. This is going to be, well, we're going to put, I'm going to get one of the colors here. Probably the yellow, just to give it like something warm, I'll get the background probably this one or something. This one I think is good. I'm going to change the color of this one right here with the blue. I'm going to just put it, I think this is quite good. Probably. We're going to duplicate this again. I'm going to color it with warm tone, just like this. I'm going to put this below. I think that's too much going on, probably just decrease the opacity. Think it's too much. I'm going to remove one of the image or the object here. I'm going to change the background to this one. Yeah, I think this is quite good for a good contrast. I'm going to add, I'll make sure that the text color is this one or blue. We're going to take a look at that first, but I am going to. Okay. I guess that's good. I will just change the text to the handwritten font. I'm going to go this one right here. I think it's pretty sharp. And I'm going to add another text. I'm going to duplicate this one right here. I'm going to put it here. I'm going to empty this one. Oops, Select all. I'm going to put the name of Karen, but it's a little smaller so it has a good hierarchy of what's happening. I guess growing guide, see if it looks great. Yeah, it looks great, I think it's good. All we have to do now is to insert a new layer and put some interesting. We're going to go to our brush library. We're going to go to Vintage to get some texture. I will probably use the blue color. Let's see if it's going to work. This is nice and I will decrease the pacity just to make it less distracting. But still there, I guess this is good. Still have all those texture and the testimonial and it's the best time to turn on the magnetics and the snapping to know where the, the center is. We have ourselves a nice layout for a product review or testimonial. We still have a good color combination here and warm texture, pretty much done with the same template. So what we're going to do with the template, we can easily change the image here, since this is a customizable as you can see. We can just clip the image here and we can resize or we can move reorient the shape that we just created. And we could even change the background color here with something lighter. Since it's our color palette, we should never get lost with all of this. We can change the color of the text as well. This is very customizable and easy to edit. Since we have its own layer, we can just go to their layers and change it and we can export it on here pretty easily. 13. Awareness Template: All right, so we're done with our second to the last template here to just go straight to create our canvas 2,500 by 2,500 pixels. The layout that we're going to use as like a picture here and there's like a statement here, follow up with some fine print. But first we're going to get to Ranch here to Canvas. We're going to turn on our drawing guide just to make sure that we're on point with everything that we're going to put in. So I guess that's pretty good since we have our guidelines right here. It just gives you where to put our image head into my background color layer. And I'm going to go probably get this one just to begin with because this has the strongest contrast. I'm going to clear this layer because we don't need it anymore, but I'm going to use it to create shape here like a rectangle. So I'm just quickly do this right here, I'm just going to hold it and it gives you this kind of a straight line. And then I'm going to fill this half with color and insert one of our pictures here. We're going to clip it just to see how it looks. We might modify the shape a little bit, but let me turn off the drawing guide here just to see how it looks. I think it's okay, but I think we're going to push the image a little bit to the side just to be proportion something like this. But I don't want to cut the dog's ear. So what I'm going to do here, I'm going to modify the shape. I'm going to go free form and I'm just going to make it a little bit bigger, just like this. Just to give it a nice space with the dog here, make sure uniform. I think this is a good scale for this dog and it has a yellow contrast. I think that's pretty good. I'm going to insert some text here. I'm going to add text. We'll be using our custom fund, probably going to make it bigger. Here we are, our pets probably should select all in the line to the left. I'm going to turn on our drawing guide again. I'm going to go to the letting, because right now it's too much based in between the words. Let's fix this with the letting here. I think that's good enough for me. We can always make it bigger, just like this. But the problem is, there's a contrast issue. I'm going to duplicate this one. Okay, I am going to add the other text right here, select all. I'm going to color white just to give it a good contrast. And I'm actually going to overlay them like this, so it gives it a good contrast. I should probably do this in all decomposition that we made, so it has a little bit more playfulness, put some texture. So what we're going to do here, I'm going to create a new layer and put it just above the background color. Probably going to use the myrtle. It's just going to be right for this. Kind of decrease the capacity right there. We can turn off our drawing guide here. Let's see if it looks good. Yeah, it's going to look good. I think you could see this once we posted it. Opacity quite a bit. Just like that. Put some follow up text. That text right here. I will use the Gil Song. I don't know. Let's make the world a better place. World a better place. Okay, let's try that. A little smaller. Oh, that's too small so I'm going to break. I think this is quite a little bit easy to read once we post it. 14. Service Template: So we're going to create a new canvas here to finish up. So pretty much the same, do with the background first. We're going to set the background to blue. We're going to insert photo of a smartphone. I'm going to put it on the side. I want to make sure that I have a good alignment. So I'm going to put it again, something like this, and I think that's good enough. And I'm going to clip some image on the smartphone screen. So I'll just make sure that I get the screen shape so you can clip it. All we have to do is to get the selection. We're going to go automatic. We'll just get the screen size right here, I mean the screen itself and going to go invert. And I will just probably three fingers swipe down, cut and paste. And there you go, there's a layer, put it on top so it's easier for me. As you can see, we were able to cut the layer here and all we have to do is to put an image. I don't know if it's big. We'll try this. We're going to clip it. It's quite big. I don't think it fits into probably this one. I think it's good. I think it's very playful. I'm going to draw a yellow container here, so I'm going to insert a new layer, put it just above the background color. I'm going to get a monoline brush, and I'm going to draw something right here like a container. I think that's good. And I'm going to color it to this yellow right here. And I think it's a good contrast. Resize it, we're going to go free form and kind of just a touch of like this. I think it's good but I don't really like the image. It's too much happening. Probably will look for something else, probably. This one clipping mask, probably. Yeah, I think I like it. It sits with the color. It's less distracting. And I think it's kind of cute. Insert a text, So we're going to use our custom font. Let's just move it right here so we can see what's happening. To make sure it's aligned to the left. Put it back here. I'm going to just put, we deliver some treats. We deliver treats. I think it's better. We deliver treats. We're going to duplicate this one. Same as what we did on the last one. And I'm just going to go select all and get this brown right here. We have a consistent overlay one here. I'm going to change it to something not yellow, probably. This one right here, white. It's a little bit more contrast. I will just put another text here, but we're not going to use the custom fund, we're going to use Gill songs just for fun pairing. For delivery for. Okay, I guess that's good. And we're going to make it smaller. This one right here, I think. I'm just going to make it bigger. Just like this, it fills up the space, it's a little bit bigger and more pop, I'll just draw a rectangle here to highlight this part right here. I'm going to make a call to action rectangle here. Let's see if it's going to work. I just hold it like that. I'm going to add it, shape it, rectangle. I think it's quite good. I probably color it with this one here. The text layer, I'm going to put it up just like that. I don't think it stands out. I probably will color yellow something like this. The font going to go back to this, I think this is quite good. All we have to do now is to make a layer here and put a texture to it. So I'm going to go to my recent brushes, Myrtle and probably put white here. I'm just going to fill this up. I'm going to decrease the capacity and it just gives it a little bit of texture to it. It's not really the most important thing to look at. We're good to go. We have our template here. I think they're all cohesive to each other. They have a common theme, which is the colors, All the elements are consistent to each other. On the next video, we're going to go and group them together. See you guys there. 15. Prepare to Export: All right guys. We have our four template here which is very customizable. We can change all the fonts. I can change the picture easily and clip it. So what I'm going to do here, I'm going to select all of this here and we can stack it. Just rename it. We can rename it to pet shop, just like that. You can also rename all the names here. So this is a service awareness view product. So now we have the template for the pet shop. So we can easily just go here and not be distracted with all this content. Can just go ahead and just go to each and every post here. And we can just change all the content. We're just going to export it right now. Since we're done, I'm going to export it. Share. I'm going to use PNG easily. Insert another photo. Okay, something like this. Clip it and it should be there. I think that's good. Share PNG. I'm pretty much going to do all of this here. This one I'm going to just save it. I'm going to put this one here. I'm going to just clip it. It should be okay. We're going to make sure that the kitten is big enough. Since we have a blue color, we're going to switch the background to yellow. It has a nicer contrast with each other. Probably going to change the overlay of this one here as well. I'm just going to select all of it and change it to blue. I will change the texture as well. Probably select and I'm going to fill it up. Fill color with blue. I'm going to increase even the tone. And if I'm not really happy with this, I could even hit the image here. I could adjust the color and saturation just to give it a little pump, it even goes with the color, make sure that it looks natural. I'm going to just disable the guide right there and I'm going to just make this one bigger. I think we could reposition the shape right here to fit the subject. I'm going to just save it right now. We're going to export this one as well. I think we're good to go. All right, so we're able to export everything here. So I'll see you on the next video where put them all together on Instagram. See you there. 16. Show it on Social: Hello guys. Right now, I was able to export everything. Was able to post it successfully on Instagram. Just to give you how it looks in real life, I just put one of the cutest ones here, like a logo or something. I put some description here and I just kind of put like toys grooming and supplements and treat. And I'm going to start from here. So like where I said on our layout plan, pill sandwiches into something like user generated or some kind of a real life picture. So it has a little bit more dynamic to post like just all of this, you know, post like here. So it's nice to have like something that resonates with the brand as well. So we start with this one and as you can see we have a good texture with all the things going on right there. I think the texture makes it a little bit different and a little bit playful and a little bit character to it. Compare if it's just like plain blue gives us more like edge. And the custom font right here gives it more into life. And it's a little bit more like handmade and not a computer generated. And also this one right here looks pretty good, It's just a placeholder. So and we still have the pattern or the texture that we placed. And also this one, I kind of like this one. Just the cat is very kind of engaging. If you see this one on your feet, you probably will stare it for a couple of seconds. I still like how the texture brings. Overall, I think it's a good way to start your social media template. Again, the template is very customizable. You can switch it up, change the font, change the color, and change the images. You can even lay it out, put some different stuff out there. But this is just like a guide for you to get started and I'll see you guys on the next car. 17.
