1 00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:08,040 In this video you're going learn how to design an original piece of content for Instagram for free that 2 00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:12,690 you can then go ahead and share directly on Instagram. 3 00:00:12,690 --> 00:00:17,700 So this is something that you really do want to learn how to do if you want to create your own content 4 00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:20,190 or content for clients or companies. 5 00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:25,880 It's basic design skills but it's going to allow you to produce a lot of original content. 6 00:00:26,130 --> 00:00:27,680 So how to get started. 7 00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:32,040 Walk through the exact steps of how to create this design from scratch. 8 00:00:32,130 --> 00:00:39,150 So what do you want to firstly do is go ahead and open up your browser and download the Kanva app. 9 00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:42,610 Now Kanva is essentially Photoshop for Dummies. 10 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,040 It's free it's so simple to use. 11 00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:50,550 And the cool thing is is that you can design on your phone and then share directly from Instagram. 12 00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:55,530 They do also have a desktop version so that's pretty cool as well because if you're more comfortable 13 00:00:55,530 --> 00:01:02,090 designing on your desktop then you can just take the design from the app and then share it directly. 14 00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:08,490 So you have that choice as well to design on your desktop and then just share via the app on Duret on 15 00:01:08,490 --> 00:01:09,210 Instagram. 16 00:01:09,390 --> 00:01:13,720 But in this example I'll show you how to actually create in a design in the app. 17 00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:19,110 So I've download the Kanva app I'm going to open that up and then you can see here that they have templates 18 00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:25,110 under the Instagram section and what you can do is create really any type of design. 19 00:01:25,110 --> 00:01:30,900 There are a ton of templates here but what I've done here is what's going to come up is a lot of templates 20 00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:33,310 like this and some of these are popular now. 21 00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:39,360 You can see to that 18 except for what I'm going to do is typing in quotes and that is going to bring 22 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,060 up all the templates for quotes. 23 00:01:41,050 --> 00:01:46,230 Now you can search around for other ones as well if you want product promotions etc. but for now I'll 24 00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:47,710 just look at this one. 25 00:01:47,970 --> 00:01:54,740 So here is the template that I can easily use and modify and you can see this is in the format that 26 00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:55,450 I want. 27 00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:58,280 Oscar Wilde here to live is the rarest thing in the world. 28 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,120 Most people exist that is all OK. 29 00:02:00,140 --> 00:02:06,990 Great quote from Oscar Wilde but I wanted to adapt this template slightly and design the design. 30 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,020 I showed you previously. 31 00:02:08,030 --> 00:02:13,730 So the first thing that I'm going to do is change the image so I can just tap on the image. 32 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,460 It's going to bring up my camera roll. 33 00:02:16,490 --> 00:02:20,270 I could also take you can see my camera here my hand waving. 34 00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:25,310 I could take a picture if I wanted but I've already got this picture on my camera roll which I'm going 35 00:02:25,310 --> 00:02:28,230 to just click on and you can see it inserts right in. 36 00:02:28,250 --> 00:02:30,780 So simple so easy. 37 00:02:30,780 --> 00:02:34,830 Now I want to change the quote because obviously this guy's not Oscar Wilde. 38 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,150 So if I double click on the text 39 00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:50,830 and I can say typing the quote so I typed in the quote there don't wish it were easy. 40 00:02:50,830 --> 00:02:53,770 Wish you were better I think great advice. 41 00:02:53,870 --> 00:02:57,350 So I changed the text and say done 42 00:03:00,610 --> 00:03:05,860 now I'm going to resize that taxes Rob because you can see I've got a little bit of space so I am going 43 00:03:05,860 --> 00:03:07,870 to double click on this 44 00:03:13,210 --> 00:03:16,220 and I'm going to change this to size 56. 45 00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:24,140 I think that should fit in every and then I clicked on. 46 00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:30,350 Then I want to change the author's name and so so and double click on that 47 00:03:33,690 --> 00:03:38,970 now I will say that it takes a little bit of getting used to me the first time that you design something 48 00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:40,580 and mine be so simple. 49 00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:47,900 But after a while you're really going to get the hang of this and then make a really easy for yourself. 50 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,100 So those pretty much by design it's pretty much already done. 51 00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:53,590 I'm happy with the positioning. 52 00:03:53,870 --> 00:04:00,520 I think it all looks great and a good idea before you go to publish is maybe just reread it. 53 00:04:00,530 --> 00:04:02,040 Make sure there's no mistakes. 54 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,850 I can actually see that I've made a mistake here. 55 00:04:06,190 --> 00:04:08,770 So I wanted to say don't wish it were easy. 56 00:04:14,110 --> 00:04:15,750 Wish you were better. 57 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,490 Now I have to reposition the 58 00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:21,560 text underneath. 59 00:04:21,580 --> 00:04:22,720 Drag it off there. 60 00:04:25,810 --> 00:04:26,400 OK. 61 00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:28,410 Looks pretty good. 62 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:35,040 Now what I can do is just click on the image once again then I'm going to click on this button on the 63 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,920 top right hand corner you can see it's like the share button that's really going to finalize my design 64 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:49,800 save us and it'll enable me then to share it which I can go and head into click Import to Instagram. 65 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,120 And what I can do now is publish directly to my feed. 66 00:04:58,260 --> 00:05:00,800 I just don't need to crop it so I can just click next. 67 00:05:00,910 --> 00:05:03,300 You can out a filter if you want. 68 00:05:03,310 --> 00:05:05,300 I actually might apply this filter. 69 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,650 Gingham just to make it look maybe slightly older slightly more wisdom. 70 00:05:10,650 --> 00:05:12,410 And then click next. 71 00:05:12,690 --> 00:05:17,000 You can see that I can tie people out of location if I want to write a caption. 72 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,320 And for now I will just click share and there we go. 73 00:05:23,380 --> 00:05:26,880 You can see this is how it is going to show up in people's feed. 74 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,710 So I think it looks great it looks professional. 75 00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:34,390 And then if I come back to my cane you can see it's showing up there as well. 76 00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:37,570 So you can see that took me less than five minutes. 77 00:05:37,570 --> 00:05:39,310 It was completely free to do. 78 00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:43,060 And it's very easy to do from your phone as well. 79 00:05:43,060 --> 00:05:47,540 Remember that you have this app Kanva with a ton of templates in there. 80 00:05:47,710 --> 00:05:52,990 So what I recommend you do is go ahead download
