Assalam o alaikum, so in today's video we'll see how we can make an image for our Instagram influencer gig

how to research and how to create it. The best practice to make an image is

to see other gigs that are selling, that how they have made their gig image

just to take an idea, which designs are demanding in the market

so you can make the same design, so that you can get clicks too, so see here is a person

who has used a work sample in his image, this is a great practice

you can try this out too, moreover you can try some images like these too

like this simple and plane image, this other one here too

you can get different image ideas from here, so what you have to do is to get ideas from these

and then create your own design, keep one thing in your mind,

don't ever download or screen shot someone's image

and don't try same to same copy someone's design,

means you'r desiging it yourself but copying someone totally, don't do it like this

your image should never matches someone else image

design must be your own. So to make a design we'll use canva.com

canva.com link will be in the resources section so don't worry about it

simply, first of all see the size of the gig image, so for that go to Google

or you can read the fiverr's forum, at forum.fiverr.com

you can take suggestions from other sellers as well, what they think about it

what would be the best image size for you. Else the default image size at fiverr is

550 pixels by 370 and the file size

must not be greater than 5mb, means if your image size exceeds 5mb then

image will not be uploaded, so keep this thing in your mind. So we get the sizing that is 550 by 370 pixels

we came here on canva, clicked on a 'create a design' then custom dimension

and then added dimensions here that are 550 by 370, and make sure to select pixels

and click on create a new design button. Now here we have a new template

and here you can use these already present templates too, some of them are free

and some are paid, like this if you click on any template

it'll be uploaded like this, and then you can make any changes you like, but we are not going to use any template

rather we'll design a new design from a scratch, so let me give you some ideas

so here we have upload button, if you have any image or file that you want to use here

you can upload and use that, or here we have photo's section too

we click and search Instagram. So I searched Instagram

here we got some images, some of them are free and some have tag writen pro

so for this you need to buy canva pro account, you've to buy a subscription for this

so for that I don't recommend to spend money, you can use these free images

we can use these free images and you can find more you can use all of these

there are alot of images

so you've to try to add most relavent image, like if i

select this image, and then if you want to add a text

you can simply add it from the text section, here you get some templates of text too

you can use these templates to, or you can use it from the start as well, suppose let me write

So we added a text, if you want to change it text

in the side bar you have different fonts, some of them have crown infront

because I have a paid subscription that's why I've this grey symbol, you'd have yellow

but we are only going to use free fonts from here,

so that you might not think that nothing can be done free,so you can use this website totally free

you won't face any issue. So ...

ok... . So I've put it like this

other than this, I am just making a sample image, this is not a final image

You don't need copy this, the only aim is to let you familiarize you with canva

that how can use it. Now if you want to change the color

there is a color option above, you can select any color that you like

according to your choice and besides this, we have element tab here

here you can find many elements like these Instagram icons

You can find many of them, and again here we have free and paid icons available

select these elements accordingly, suppose I am selecting this triangle, and

I am placing it in the back of this text

so that text will be visible to us, now you can adjust this text too

Incase if you want this triangle above your text then

simply click here on positions, we've many positions like forward backword etc

if I click here on backword, then text will be at the back of the triangle and if i click on forward it will be on the front

So you can check this position tab too, if in your case text is not visible then.

So from here again I click here,

selected both of these, else you can explore it by yourself and do some experiments

so you'll get some idea how this actually works,

suppose our image is ready here, you can try these other options too

this is one of the best website, I've been using it for long

and then I click here on download, again if you ioncrease the sizing then the file size will be inceased too

you can download it for free with exact size, and that's what I am going to do

I simply clicked here on download button and our image will be ready after download

and here our image has been downloaded, and similarly

I've another designe here, again this is not a design it is a sample image

just wanted to let you know, now here what I have done, the background color if you see here

there is an option 'background' if you click here then you have different background option

So here I have selected the background color,

and on that background, I put this icon from the element section and wrote this text here

it is not a perfect image I am again saying but you can do an experiment

So in the next video we'll see how to create a gig using this image, and how to upload it

So we'll see how to create a complete gig
