(energizing music) 2 2
Chris: Let's create an image 3 3
using the split screen principle. 4 4
So, we'll go create new. 5 5
And, as we know, the document has to always 6 6
have the YouTube metrics of 7 7
1280 across and 720 high. 8 8
It's taking a second or so for this 9 9
to open for some reason, okay. 10 10
Here it is here. 11 11
And we're going to select create. 12 12
And on this side here, 13 13
we'll create text for how to be a better investor. 14 14
And then we'll put an image on the right. 15 15
Let's put the text in first. 16 16
What we do is we grab text here 17 17
and we'll just type all in caps, as always. 18 18
Okay, great. 19 19
And I'm gonna select that 20 20
and I'm gonna break it up, make it a lot bigger. 21 21
How to be a better investor. 22 22
Make it left justified 23 23
and then we'll go here 24 24
and we'll just make it bigger. 25 25
And you can also make the font size bigger 26 26
by changing the size of the font over here, 27 27
but I like to keep it simplistic. 28 28
Control t or command t to select that text. 29 29
It's a little bit too big for halfway. 30 30
That's good enough. 31 31
Okay, great. 32 32
And then what we're gonna do is, 33 33
and we'll play around with the colors in a minute. 34 34
I want to get an image on this side 35 35
that kind of shows how to be a better investor. 36 36
And I love that analogy give a person 37 37
a fish they eat for a day, 38 38
teach a person to fish they eat for a lifetime. 39 39
So, let's go here and what I do is 40 40
I subscribe to this service called Storyblocks. 41 41
And this is where I get my music from, 42 42
some of my videos and also images. 43 43
So, what I'll do here is I'll select on images 44 44
and it will automatically log me in right now. 45 45
And I'm gonna go to images I've 46 46
already downloaded in the past 47 47
as I used this fisherman cartoon image awhile ago. 48 48
My media. 49 49
And I'll search for the word fish. 50 50
And there it is. Okay, great. 51 51
What I'll do is I'll download this. 52 52
I'll use jpg format. 53 53
And, if you want to use Adobe Illustrator 54 54
you can download what's called a vetric file 55 55
which allow you to actually break up the layers here. 56 56
But I want to keep it simplistic. 57 57
I'll just download a jpg and then 58 58
I'll just copy it and insert it directly 59 59
into Photoshop. 60 60
There it is there. 61 61
Copy, 62 62
paste. 63 63
There you go, good. 64 64
Control t or command t 65 65
so I can make that a lot smaller. 66 66
I'll go in to highspeed mode until I get this perfect. 67 67
That looks good to me, okay. 68 68
What we're gonna do is, 69 69
I'm gonna color this side here 70 70
using some of the colors from here. 71 71
I'm not gonna use the color wheel, 72 72
but you could do that if you wanted to. 73 73
I just want it to be consistent with the colors over here. 74 74
So, let me first of all 75 75
spread this out a little bit better. 76 76
How to be a better investor. 77 77
And I think I want to center it. 78 78
Great. 79 79
And I want the text to match what's over here. 80 80
So, I'll make it blue. 81 81
Let's see how that looks. 82 82
Okay, great. 83 83
And then I want to add a background 84 84
that would match something here. 85 85
Maybe what I'll do is I'll make it yellow 86 86
so it kind of bleeds over here. 87 87
Will look kind of nice, as well. 88 88
So, the way we do that is we 89 89
go down here to the background 90 90
and then we select the color we want 91 91
to paint with and, as always, 92 92
there's a million ways to do things in Photoshop. 93 93
I'll select this color here, okay. 94 94
Then I'll select the paintbrush over here 95 95
and it's already in a massive, massive size. 96 96
That's fine. 97 97
I'm just gonna do one stroke here. 98 98
Boom and we're done. 99 99
And there you go. 100 100
And you might be saying, 101 101
wait a second, Chris, that's not perfectly centered. 102 102
So, I can drag this over a touch if I wanted to. 103 103
Drag that over slightly. 104 104
Yeah, that's good enough. 105 105
You can make this even slightly bigger 106 106
if you wanted to, hit command t or control t. 107 107
And drag it up just slightly, just slightly. 108 108
That's a little bit cramped there, right. 109 109
All right. 110 110
Yeah, that looks good. 111 111
Gonna pretty up this text a little bit. 112 112
Double click. 113 113
Let's add a little bit of a stroke. 114 114
Make it a little bit, whoops. 115 115
Stroke there, pardon me. 116 116
Make the opacity a little bit less. 117 117
Stands out a bit more. 118 118
That's nice. 119 119
If you wanted you, you can even grab another color here. 120 120
Let's do that, let's have fun. 121 121
Let's grab orange. 122 122
Eh. 123 123
Let's grab 124 124
Let's grab brown right here. 125 125
And we'll make the opacity a little bit more. 126 126
Kind of matches nicely on the right side just slightly. 127 127
And now what we can do is we can add a drop shadow. 128 128
I like to make it slightly off to the side. 129 129
This side, whoops. 130 130
And I'll make it a little bit less visible in the distance. 131 131
A little bit less so. 132 132
It looks nice, that's fine, yeah. 133 133
Then the last thing we'll do is we'll export this. 134 134
And, we'll just export it as a jpg. 135 135
Size is 319 and it's a little bit 136 136
bigger than when we did the opposite 137 137
lesson in the previous section because 138 138
we've got an image here and not just text. 139 139
But we're well within the less 140 140
than two megabits threshold that 141 141
YouTube wants for thumbnails. 142 142
So, I'll select export here 143 143
and what I'll do is I'll name this one 144 144
split screen jpg. 145 145
As always, all the images are attached. 146 146
And then what I'll do is I'm going to 147 147
save this as split screen 148 148
-: that's good enough - psd. 149 149
And I'll also attach this image here, 150 150
which I'll call fisherman image. 151 151
If you have any questions, please let me know, thanks.
