Making Awesome Banner Images For Every Post ๐Ÿ“‘

in #steemit โ€ข 7 years ago (edited)

I use the FREE site Canva for all my banner images. What do you use? I just want to also say this isn't an ad or anything since it's free haha, just want you to know this awesome resource which you CAN pay for, but probably don't need to at all!

Using Canva


Navigate over to https://www.canva.com and hit


You can go through all the available designs they have pre-setup and make changes to personalize them or you can go up to the top left and hit

Now you have access to a bunch of different designs and layouts.

Feel free to experiment and use it for anything really, not just Steemit. I just find it's super useful as a free tool for creating my banners each time!

So Many Possibilities

This is part of my huge gallery as they save your designs even without signing up. As you can see there is a lot you can do with this, so get to it!

Let me know in the comments how you found this tool and if there are other ones you prefer to use and or your experience with them or Canva :)

Cool! I use sketch which is also free (some parts not depends ), silk paints for more of my super artsy shit, and spice it up in photo editor pro

Awesome yeah I've heard alot of people saying sketch

I use Snappo for creating featured images for my blog.

Oh okay sweet, haven't heard about that one, do you find it's better than Canva or have you never tried it?

Nice content
Thank you for sharing

Yeah for sure :)

Hey Scott, great post. Thanks for the shout out and the SBD. I'm looking forward to more of your posts and music.

Thanks! I'll try and keep on it daily!

I've heard of canva a while back, but never got the chance to check it out until now. It looks good, so far. Hope I can come up with something decent even with my lack of design skills. Thanks for writing about it.

Yeah let me know how you find it!

Canva is awesome. There's a few other programs just like them with different stock photos and fonts also. It's a great quick option. Now I just need to find a program that will make me transparent gifs easier. :)

Oh yeah true, I'd love a great Gif maker, haven't doven into that much

It's good for banners. I wanted to make some of my own banners to go with my blog posts. :)

Random question, do you know the invite link for steepshots discord?

Yeah in all my signatures and in the steemers discord haha

I found it. Don't laugh lol.. I didn't have my coffee yet haha

It is harder to find than other discords to be fair lol

that's nice will give it a try

Let me know how it works out
