In this video, I'm gonna show you how to go ahead and create a custom kick
banner for your kick profile utilizing a free tool called Adobe Express.
Let's go ahead and dive in.
So the first thing you're gonna wanna do is you're gonna wanna go
to the description of this video.
You wanna click on the first link to be able to create your
free Adobe Express account.
Once you've done that, it's gonna bring you to a dashboard just like
this to give us access to be able to begin designing this kick banner.
Now the first thing you wanna do is on the left hand side,
you're gonna wanna select custom.
Now to be able to get the whiff and the height you want
to come to your kick profile.
You wanna click on your profile icon, you want to click settings,
and then you're gonna see here that's gonna say 1280 by 700.
So inside of Adobe Express, we're gonna go ahead and set, type that
in 1280 by 700, and then we're gonna go ahead and hit next.
Then we're gonna see here, it's gonna bring us here to our editor.
You're gonna have access to be able to use templates, texts, photos,
shapes, design assets and backgrounds.
You get so much on the Adobe Free Plan to be able to go ahead and
design not only your banner, but items that you need for your social
media and the content you create.
To be able to grow your stream.
So let's go ahead and start with a background.
Now you have options to select tons of backgrounds here based on your liking.
I'd like to go ahead and keep it simple.
So I'll select edit background, and I'll choose a solid color.
And this is where you're able to select the color that matches your brand.
I'm just gonna go ahead and use this red.
And then now that I have that in place, we now want to go ahead
and add some additional elements.
Now you do want to keep in mind that when you are designing this
and you are looking at your, your.
You gotta keep in mind that on the desktop version there is gonna be this
video and this text box that's gonna be blocking anything that's in the center.
But on mobile, you're gonna see anything that's in the middle because
this is not available on mobile.
So we wanna keep that in mind when we're designing.
So the first thing I want to go ahead and add is my logo.
And if you don't have a logo, I went ahead and made, put a link in the
description of this video for a video I made teaching you how to make a
gaming logo in less than five minutes.
But if you don't, you can come here to where it says photos.
You can go ahead and upload your logo, or you can type in gaming logo and it's
gonna go ahead and give you some options.
Now you are gonna get a lot of free choices to choose from,
but you are gonna see items that have this little crown icon.
And when everything you see, anything that has a crown, that's gonna
mean that it's gonna be on Adobe.
Paid plan.
So the paid plan is $9 99 cents per month, and I think it's well worth
it for everything that you get.
You get over 20,000 Adobe fonts, you get a whole bunch of templates, you have
a scheduler allowing you to be able to schedule your social media contents.
You can be consistent, be able to grow.
You have so much options available for you on the premium plan, but you
get so much on the free plan as well.
So choose the one that you want to be able to utilize.
So I'm gonna go ahead and just utilize this Egale logo.
Now you're gonna see here that it's gonna be on a white background.
I don't want that.
Now, one of the beautiful things inside of Adobe Express is that
if you click on this image, you're gonna see an option to be able to
remove the background automatically without having to do anything.
So Adobe's now gonna remove that background and give me a clean logo.
Then I'm gonna go ahead and hit the check mark saying that it's done.
And now you see here that it's not on a white background.
So now I can go ahead and.
Put it right in the place that I want.
And now we're gonna see here that now we have our logo in the middle to be able
to showcase on mobile, but we wanna go ahead and add some things to this to
give it a little bit more of a look.
So we're gonna come to where it says shapes.
We're gonna go ahead and select this square.
And what we're gonna do is we're gonna select it.
We're gonna come to fill, we're gonna select this to be black.
And then for the border, we want to turn this on and we want to have it at white.
So now we have a border in a box.
So now we wanna do, it's gonna X this out so we can go ahead and design this.
And what I'd like to do is bring this down slightly and then adjust it.
And then we want to do is extend it all the way out so
we can get it all the way to.
And now what you're gonna do is you're gonna grab this and you're gonna
turn this slightly to be able to go ahead and get some adjustments on it.
So we'll grab this here at the bottom, you'll adjust it.
And now what we're gonna do here is we're gonna have our first border.
Now I'm gonna make this a little bit smaller, and you can see
here just how easy it is to start customizing this to your liking.
So now I'm gonna go ahead and grab this again, and I'm gonna go ahead and hit
duplicate here on the right hand side.
That's gonna make it the same size for the other.
So now I'm gonna come to this other side, and what I want to do is I
want to flip this so you can flip horizontally or flip vertically.
So I'm gonna flip horizontal.
And now what I want to do is I want to go ahead and bring this here and do the
same thing I just did on the other side, so you have the option to do it that way.
But I'm gonna go ahead and flip it back the other way
and I'm gonna do it like this.
And now what we're gonna see here is that now we have a nice looking banner.
It only took us a few minutes.
So what we want to do now is we wanna go ahead and get this inside to kick
so we can go ahead and customize this.
So we wanna come to the top and we want to go ahead and select.
You're gonna download the p and g and you're gonna hit Start download.
That's gonna go ahead and download your banner.
So what we want to do is you want to come back to kick.
We're gonna come to where our profile, we're gonna come to
settings, and then we're gonna go ahead and hit edit banner image.
We're gonna go ahead and hit upload from local device.
That's gonna go ahead and give us here our banner.
We're gonna hit open and you're gonna see here that it's gonna go
ahead and load our banner into kicks.
So now we have it here in place.
So if we come back to our.
We're gonna see here that it's gonna give us our nice banner, our nice background.
But again, remember on the desktop, you're not gonna see it.
That's why we wanted to add those additional shapes.
But a lot of people are gonna be watching your stream on mobile.
And you can see here that what it looks like on mobile is that you're gonna see
the logo, you're gonna see the sides, and you're gonna see everything that you need
to make the kick banner look professional.
So, That's how you go ahead and make your banner.
You can make a whole bunch of customizations using Adobe Express.
