WEBVTT 00:00.200 --> 00:02.660 So now it's time to create a hero image. 00:02.660 --> 00:06.050 But first things first what exactly is a hero image? 00:06.050 --> 00:11.390 Well, as you can see, I'm over here on my site and the hero image is this image here. 00:11.390 --> 00:16.610 At the moment it's kind of a placeholder image in this example, with a couple of people gazing out 00:16.610 --> 00:17.900 on some kind of view. 00:17.900 --> 00:24.950 What we want to do here is to change this placeholder image for a really fantastic image that says exactly 00:24.950 --> 00:30.620 what our story is about, while giving a really good first impression and enticing our customers into 00:30.620 --> 00:31.460 our store. 00:31.460 --> 00:36.140 And so to find a really great hero image, once again, we're going to use Canva. 00:36.140 --> 00:40.970 So I'm going to head over to Canva, and this time I'm going to go down to a website. 00:40.970 --> 00:42.950 Last time we were over here on logo. 00:42.950 --> 00:48.650 Now we're on a website, so click on website and it brings up once again an editor, which is very similar 00:48.650 --> 00:51.200 to the one that we were just using to create a logo. 00:51.530 --> 00:57.110 And in fact, the process is almost exactly the same, because what I want you to do is to come up here 00:57.110 --> 01:02.540 where it says search website templates, click in it, and then of course, in my example, I'll be 01:02.540 --> 01:05.600 typing in dog and then hitting return. 01:05.900 --> 01:12.470 And it presents me with a load of fantastic hero images that I can use on my site for free. 01:12.470 --> 01:17.750 Much like the logos, we do have some paying ones, but as I said before, you don't need these. 01:17.750 --> 01:19.910 You have everything that you need for free. 01:19.910 --> 01:25.490 So amongst all these various images here, the one I think I'm going to take is this top one here. 01:25.490 --> 01:26.930 So I'll click in this. 01:26.930 --> 01:31.880 It then actually presents me with six different options that I could choose from, but I'm going to 01:31.880 --> 01:32.960 take the first one. 01:32.960 --> 01:36.050 So clicking on the first one it adds it to the editor. 01:36.050 --> 01:38.090 Now what I want here is the image. 01:38.090 --> 01:41.300 I don't actually want any of the text or the buttons that come with it. 01:41.300 --> 01:43.700 And so what I'm going to do now is simply delete them. 01:43.700 --> 01:48.860 So if I go up to the top one here, just basically highlight it, click on delete. 01:49.130 --> 01:55.310 Come down to the text here highlight again click on delete and then the button remove that. 01:55.310 --> 01:57.380 And then there's actually a little bit of text here as well. 01:57.380 --> 01:58.550 Let's take that out. 01:58.550 --> 02:01.100 And now I have a nice clean image. 02:01.100 --> 02:04.610 In fact an amazing hero image as I hope you would agree. 02:04.610 --> 02:06.770 So this has been saved automatically. 02:06.770 --> 02:08.510 So exactly like the logo. 02:08.510 --> 02:14.000 To download this onto my laptop, all I need to do is to come up here to the top button, click on share, 02:14.000 --> 02:17.660 click once again on download and then on the download button. 02:17.660 --> 02:20.330 And that has now been downloaded to my laptop. 02:20.330 --> 02:25.940 So now just to complete this process, let's head back to Shopify Admin and add it into our file section, 02:25.940 --> 02:28.010 just like we did previously with the logo. 02:28.010 --> 02:32.810 So going back to admin this time I'm already in the files section. 02:32.810 --> 02:37.550 And so therefore to upload my new hero image I just click on Upload files. 02:37.550 --> 02:39.470 Here is my hero image. 02:39.470 --> 02:44.390 I click on open and when the page refreshes it's been added to my list of files. 02:44.390 --> 02:49.010 So now I have two images of course my logo and my hero image. 02:49.010 --> 02:53.510 Two incredible images created in a very short time, completely for free. 02:53.510 --> 02:56.600 So now of course we actually want to add those to the site. 02:56.600 --> 03:00.470 But in order to do that, I now need to teach you about themes. 03:00.470 --> 03:05.750 And as you're about to see, themes have the ability to completely transform your store.
