(upbeat music) 2 2
Narrator: I find that using cartoons or illustrations 3 3
simplistic ones, on your thumbnails works exceptionally well 4 4
and let's do that right now. 5 5
So what we're going to do is, we're gonna insert 6 6
an image here, which of course 7 7
is attached to this lecture for ya 8 8
and it's called "Business woman with a rocket ship". 9 9
I love this one, I love using rockets in a lot of my images 10 10
and I get my images from storyblocks.com 11 11
and that's where I get my music 12 12
as well as my background videos, if I have them. 13 13
Okay, so we'll make it roughly half-way across 14 14
that's good enough. 15 15
And then what we'll do is before we add the text 16 16
we'll add a background that will match the same color 17 17
that we have over there 18 18
and we'll send it to the back in a second. 19 19
So in terms of the shape format 20 20
what we'll do is, we'll say, we don't want an outline 21 21
and for the fill, we're actually just gonna pick 22 22
the same color we have on the right-hand side. 23 23
There we go, great. 24 24
And we'll bring this to the front 25 25
actually it doesn't even matter 26 26
it just bleeds over perfectly. 27 27
Now what we're gonna do is, we're going to insert the font 28 28
and so the name of this vlog which aired a while back 29 29
is, "When should you start your business?" 30 30
So let's insert text right here 31 31
and we'll do it all in CAPS as always. 32 32
"WHEN SHOULD YOU START YOUR BUSINESS?" 33 33
And we'll make it very big, so I'll select the font here 34 34
go back to the home tab and I'll just select 72 or so. 35 35
And before I change that anymore 36 36
I'm gonna make it Helvetica 37 37
which is slightly a bigger font size anyway. 38 38
Make it bold. 39 39
And I think what I wanted to 40 40
is just, make the text centered. 41 41
That's fine, and in terms of the color 42 42
we can match the color to what we have over here. 43 43
So what I might do is, maybe I'll make it white 44 44
with a purple outline, let's see how that looks. 45 45
So the font color, I'll go to more colors 46 46
select this same white shade here 47 47
and obviously you can't see it that well 48 48
so we have to add an outline 49 49
and we'll add a purple outline. 50 50
Right-click, Format shape. 51 51
And Text Options, Text Outline, Solid Line 52 52
and the color we're gonna use 53 53
is we are going to grab that purple, see how that looks. 54 54
And let's actually make it very thick. 55 55
It looks all right. 56 56
And then what we'll do is, let's go and let's add a shadow 57 57
like that, that looks decent, looks decent. 58 58
Okay great. 59 59
And let's scroll back out and see if we can see it. 60 60
It's fine, a little tricky to read 61 61
I wanna change that around a bit, actually. 62 62
I think what I wanna do, is make the outline size 63 63
a little bit smaller. 64 64
Yeah, I like that better. 65 65
That's got a nice pop to it. 66 66
Okay great! 67 67
And let's make sure that this bleeds over the edge slightly 68 68
Up and Down Arrows, good. 69 69
The same thing here, just make sure it bleeds over 70 70
it won't matter when you export the image. 71 71
All right, now let's export it 72 72
and we will save it as a jpeg, jpg 73 73
Save, we'll go back to see if the image size is good 74 74
and if the image quality is good enough. 75 75
Let's go over here, open this up. 76 76
It's good, great. 77 77
Oh I forgot to check the image size. 78 78
Image size is 137kb, we're laughing. 79 79
It's really small, it's perfect, great. 80 80
And again, all these images are attached to this lecture 81 81
and if you have questions, please let me know, Thanks.
