hey guys it's Sarah and welcome back to,my channel so all my Instagram I'm,beginning a lot of questions on how I,created my Instagram story highlights so,I thought I'd fill my video if you guys,today showing you how I do that so you,guys can create your own Instagram story,highlights for you or Instagram so let's,go right ahead and get straight into the,video,alrighty soo so the first step in,creating your Instagram story highlight,is finding images that best suit the,categories of your Instagram stories so,for example on my Instagram stories I,post a lot about my youtube or outfits,of the day so obviously it makes sense,for me to find photos that are best,suited to that okay to give you guys an,idea of the photos you could use for,your categories I'm going to go ahead,and show you my Instagram story,highlights so I have a category for,YouTube so obviously I just have the,YouTube logo for the photo shopping I,just have a plain shopping bag outfits,of the day I have a clothes hanger just,because that relates best to clothes for,beauty I just have a lipstick travel I,have an airplane for my blog I have an,image of a laptop my life I just have a,coffee cup and about me I have a love,heart okay so on the Instagram story,highlights you can see that all the,images are on a pink background that is,very important so to get the pink,background I'm going to go out onto my,Instagram story I'm just gonna take a,photo what I'm gonna do is they're gonna,go into the little pen then I'm going to,select the color that I want and now I'm,just going to hold the background so the,entire background grants pink going to,select done and I'm just going to save,that to our camera so that is going to,be the background for our Instagram,story now to get the images what I'm,going to do is go into Google so let's,just say we want to do the YouTube,category first so I'm just going to,in YouTube black and white and then icon,now I'm just going to go into images I'm,just going to scroll down until I find,one that I like I like this one here,that's what I'm going to do is I'm going,to select it hold it down and I'm gonna,save the image to my camera roll,alrighty so the next step is we're gonna,go into an app called a razor and this,is just gonna raise any of the,background left on that image so,obviously you can still see a bit of,white behind the tube so what we're,gonna do is we're gonna go to raise,select target area zoom in and we're,just going to select all that white,because we do not want the white on our,Instagram story I cotton select done and,now I'm just going to save that to my,camera roll as well alrighty so now to,put it all together we're going to go,into nap called font art I'm going to,select the camera photo elbows old,photos to go into select pink background,select done now we're to go into the,three line button here and we're going,to select add image all photos select,the one that we just edited select done,and then voila it's right there now I'm,going to save that through my camera,roll say successfully and then you're,done you've created your Instagram story,highlight see I just make sure when you,are creating your Instagram story,highlights that you actually use that,eraser app because if you don't I'll,just show you what happens we're going,to select the one that we can edit,select done,you can see you can still see a bit of,white you don't want that so that,arranged that actually you raises all,that white so we get the actual picture,that we want without any of the why so,what I'm going to do is I'm just going,to go ahead and show you one more so,let's just say we'll do our coffee cup,I'm gonna say coffee icon images no I'm,just gonna select one that I like let's,just fit this one I'm going to hold the,image down and save it to the camera,roll now what we're going to do is go,back into the eraser app select our,photo says as you can see here there is,a lot of white to remove so I'm gonna go,back into that arrays select target area,select the background and the inside of,the coffee cup and the plate as well,select done save it to our camera roll,go back into font Oh,select the pink background three-line,button add an image and add the coffee,cup that we just edit it and then save,that to a camera so for those of you who,don't know how to create Instagram story,highlights what you do is you go into,Instagram and then on your story swipe,up and then select the image that you,want and then you can like zoom in and,zoom it out if you want but it's,perfectly fine where it is what you're,going to do is send it to your story,select done and then what you can do is,go across to your profile select the,plus and then you can just select the,picture that you just uploaded select,next and then you can make a title for,it so it would just say YouTube shadow,and then you select add and then pull up,it's now on your profile easy easy,alrighty so that's how you guys can,create your Instagram story highlights,feel free to tag me in

in four,different parts the first one is going,to be,how i do my youtube thumbnails the,second one is gonna be,how i make my instagram flyers which,could be instagram facebook or whatever,flyers,then the third one is gonna be how i,create the cute little branding,templates for my instagram,the fourth one is gonna be,how i create the instagram highlight so,go ahead and stay tuned,so i'm gonna go ahead and get part four,started,the first thing i'd like to start with,is going to google and typing in canva,and then we're going to go ahead and,click the second link,and one thing i like to do for the,instagram highlight templates is once i,search them i do like to take a look at,all the templates that they have to,offer,so we're just going to select instagram,highlight covers,and these are the options that they have,and the only reason that i use the,template for these ones instead of just,a blank canvas like the other ones is,because i want to keep the exact sizing,and i want the and i want to keep the,circle the exact same size from when i,upload my own,and you'll just grab the template just,for inspiration,and i typically like to click something,simple,so we have this one pulled up,and these are the ones that they,currently have and we're going to go,ahead and start erasing them,and then we're going to start editing,them and then we're going to edit them,to match our own brand,as you know i like to keep all of my,stuff the same,same colors green black and white with,my money theme background,so the first thing we'll do is erase the,background,now i'm going to switch it to my green,color,now let's go ahead and search for our,money that we always use,which of course it shows up in the,recently used we're going to stretch,this to cover the entire template,and once you stretch it it's going to,automatically bounce the,background and we do want that green to,show so we're actually going to change,the transparency,okay and now we're going to erase new,arrivals from that bubble and then we're,going to change the color of the bubble,to make it match our brand,and one thing i want to do for these,ones is i want to i want to make them,pop so i'm going to try and get a gold,background for it so i'm going to search,gold circle,and see all the different options that,they have and choose one that'll go,along with our linings,keep it simple enough,see that just gives it a little pop and,then we're gonna just hide the white on,it,okay so what i'm going to do is i'm,going to go ahead and add some more,design to it so i'm going to add a black,circle to it so i'm going to go ahead,and search a circle,find a thin black circle to add to and,this just gives it more detail,give your gives your designs an extra,pop,and the next thing that i'm going to,search in the elements is i'm going to,search for the youtube logo,and we're going to see which one looks,best for the templates that we're,creating today well for the highlights,that we're creating today,and we want to make sure that we can,change the color on them,so we want all of our colors to match we,want to go with that green something,green,green and black,since we already have that white,background,first we're going to add a,just a black outline to it just to make,it pop a little bit more see how much of,a difference that makes,and then the next thing we're going to,do is we're going to go ahead and add,another page,and one thing about adding the page to,this so you're actually we're going to,duplicate the page so we're duplicating,the page it gives us the exact same,template and then we're just going to,remove the youtube and then add our next,thing which is the reviews,and the reviews is fairly simple,you'll just add the reviews to it,and as you can see that color already,looks good with it being black but we do,want to add some type of a pop of green,to it,so i'm probably going to add the stars,under it,oh i actually like this green better,maybe add the black stars,let's play around with it a little bit,i like the way that looks,so we're gonna go ahead and duplicate,this page again so we can keep our same,template,erase the reviews,and for this next one that i'm gonna do,i am gonna end up typing in,let me see which one should we do for,this one,so we're gonna do an airplane because,for the traveling hair boss but one of,the tricky things

their bio section of their,profile and you want to do yourself Adam,how do I make mine look like that how do,I do that well in this video I'm gonna,walk you through it because it's not,quite as hard as you might think it is,what's going on guys I don't IV sell,music.com here to help you go further,faster in your music career by sharing,proven marketing techniques and,strategies to help transform that,passion for making music into a,legitimate business that's going to,provide you with freedom and fulfillment,to the most important things in life in,general so in my last video I broke down,exactly how to optimize your Instagram,bio for more engagement and growth just,a quick side note if you haven't watched,that video yet just make sure to go,subscribe to the channel first and,foremost so you can go back and watch,that video after this one so everything,makes a little bit more sense anyway in,that video I have mentioned setting up,your Instagram story highlight section,with more of a professional look using,story highlight icons and category,titles and then asked if you guys would,want me to make a tutorial video so you,guys asked for it and I wanted to get,that video out to you right away so that,you can make your Instagram profile as,optimized as possible as quickly as,possible and be the best possible,representation for you and your brand so,let's jump right into it alright so for,this tutorial I'm gonna go ahead and add,some Instagram story highlight covers to,a business profile that I'm gonna be,going live with soon for my upcoming,education platform that's markets your,music so naturally be at market your,music make sure to follow that page as,well when you're on Instagram I,appreciate it now overall this is a,super easy thing to do so me showing,this tutorial from a fresh account,illustrates just how easy it can be to,set up on a profile even if you just,signed up for Instagram and if you are,wondering why this account has over,6,000 followers already it's because I,purchased this account from its previous,owner about a year ago or more when I,purchased the domain name and when I,purchased it from him and already had,about 5,000 maybe 5,500 followers and,mentioning it on my own personal,Instagram account a few times has grown,that account as you can see anyway to,start we need to create images that we'd,like to use for the IG story highlight,covers so let's get into that now there,are three main ways of doing this if,you're good with Photoshop or another,design software like Ilic,you could design your own images with,whatever background you'd like then add,an image or an icon that represents what,that story highlights going to represent,right the category if you are designing,your own icons or images whatever you,want to call them and then I recommend,that the overall image is going to be,1080 by 1920 so just think of a TV,flipped on side with an icon being,centered with a fair amount of space,given on both sides will be able to,scale this later so it's not that big of,a deal now keep in mind that this image,needs to fit in a circle so you don't,want to get too busy here simple is best,now for those of you who might not be,experienced with designing images like,this might not have the time you might,not be comfortable doing that no worries,there are dozens if not more than that,websites where you can go and download,theme packs for Instagram story,highlight covers and I'm gonna include a,couple of those in the description box,but you might not even have to do that,I'm gonna tell you why now you can,actually do all of this within Instagram,if you're not trying to be overly fancy,so I'm gonna show you how to do that,I'll be doing this on my iPhone which,obviously runs an iOS version of,Instagram but the other versions are,very similar so just follow along so on,the main Instagram profile click the,lower left-hand corner which is the home,icon and then tap the camera' icon in,the upper left from here you want to,select create at the bottom which is,directly to the left of the default of,normal now tap on the center of the,screen to type something and then go,ahead and open your keyboard emojis now,for this example I'm gonna select the,snare drum icon because it's gonna look,great and be super eye-catching for if I,were selling drum kits for example now,I'll scale it up in size until it fills,the screen without getting too close to,the sides then I'm gonna drag it and use,the alignment tools to show me what,Center Center is you can do this by eye,as well it's not a huge deal if it's,slightly off-center okay so now that we,have our icon selected and sized we just,need to add it to our Instagram stories,by tapping the your stories icon in the,lower left corner it will now be posted,to your Instagram stories and fro

hey everyone it's sierra here welcome,back to my channel,today i want to walk you through the,process of how i created these little,cute,magical,instagram highlight covers to sell on,etsy,so let's jump straight into procreate,and,artwork that i have been working on,actually,so this one right here i have done a,couple of drawings,and now i'm going to create a,wheel,for the spiritual and magical instagram,highlight covers,my target customers are people that into,magical fantasy art,spiritual practices,spiritual drawings,tarot reading,energy healing,so those areas,we usually see a lot in magical or,spiritual drawing is,like,the snack symbol,the sun the moon,or crystals,like magic mushroom,butterflies and those kind of thing,i haven't really saw much whale,in,instagram highlight covers before so i'm,gonna draw one right now,so as you can see i'm just,sketch out this,little,wheel,and now i'm just gonna,do the inking part,i found this is really fun and,therapeutic,and i have done a lot of wheel drawings,before so i'm pretty familiar with,how to draw them,if you don't know how to draw them,you can look up pinterest for reference,there's so many beautiful drawing and,photograph,of wave on there and you can just,first to copy the shape of it and then,later on you can really,draw by imagination of our memory,the reason i chose whale is that i,really love whale,and their spiritual meanings and,symbolism,including protection gratitude wisdom,transformation,and psychic abilities,you can have a look at my etsy shop,that's selling these items,to,have an idea of how do i sell them,and i think it's pretty fun because,sometimes i just like to do some,sketches doodling for fun,and add some color and then i think oh i,actually can sell this because,people love these to put on their,instagram highlight covers,so,that's how all this started,and when i look up on etsy there are so,many people already selling them,and they are doing pretty well,the competition,might be a little high but i feel like,every artist has their own style,and they have their own audience and the,people that love the art so,i feel like,i definitely can,give it a try as well,so here we go you can also,have a try at drawing these maybe put on,your instagram for fun,or do it for your friends and of course,selling on etsy or your personal website,so i have done with the whale,and now i'm just adding on some like,stars,sparkles,to make it look more like magical,yeah i'm pretty happy with it,when it comes to selling these,highlight covers on etsy or on your,instagram it is very important that you,do some research on who are your target,customers,then you can really,like draw and tailor towards that target,customers,for example when i want to draw,highlight covers for yoga teachers yoga,brains,i will do like maybe like seven chakra,symbols,the om symbol,and also different yoga pulses,meditation poles,and,maybe like hamsa hand or mudra,so as you can see i'm just drawing,everything in one,page,to upload on canva later,and create a listing for etsy,i found it is very um efficient,so i don't have to upload so many little,files you know,and,right now i'm moving on drawing a,book of shadows,yeah so i'm just sketching out this one,again i have done this,drawing probably hundreds of times just,different variations of it so i know,exactly what i wanted to draw here,if you don't,really have an idea of what type of,magical book you want to draw then,definitely look up on references,you can tweets and make different detail,for your book as well,so many things that you can do,my hand sketch usually quite messy,but that's alright,and for the inking,i use this brush named syrup,the first time i use this,brush,i don't know why i decided to try this,one in this video that i make for,youtube but i think,it's a pretty good brush just that i'm,not really get used to it yet so,in my hands a little shaky today,not really get used to being filmed when,i'm drawing yet,yeah anyway,this is my third youtube video,so yay to me,i'm actually really excited,i have been binge watching so many,youtube videos,about how to start a youtube channel for,others,because,i want to,i really want to put out good content,that,that is helpful for people,especially i want to help out similar,like other similars like me like my,situation,i didn't go through a proper training,for art training and that's that kind of,thing so,yeah and i think i'm doing all right so,i just want to provide as much tips and,advices,for people out there and a little bit of,encouragement to anyone that wants to,make art their,full-time career is definitely possible,so back to this drawing here,i'm just adding on a lock for my magic,book,and that is,pretty much done of the,um,yeah inking the line part,so now i'm just like fill in the,color for some part of it and,add on some sparkles,stardust that's what i love to do for,all of my magic,icons,it's kind of cute,i love sparkles,yeah so that is pretty much,done,so see i'm just having ev

walkthrough with,you guys I just want to talk about all,the other options for creating your,highlight covers if you don't want to,like get really in-depth if you want,some like quicker easy ways you could go,on to Pinterest and look up Instagram,highlight covers and you could probably,download plenty of pre-made options I do,want you to keep in mind that when you,go this route it is possible that you,will be signing up for somebody's email,list which isn't always a bad thing you,could end up falling in love with,another creator but you also never know,whose email list you're signing up for,if they send a bunch of emails every day,so that's just something to keep in mind,if you're using that solely your phone,for making Instagram covers then you can,use apps like / Pixar canva and a bunch,of apps like that to just make it on,your phone the way that I'm going to be,teaching you guys today is what I use on,my laptop this gives me more options and,I'm able to visualize everything all,together so I don't have to keep going,back and forth looking at my Instagram,feed and then looking at the colors I'm,able to kind of put my Instagram feed up,next to the colors that I'm picking and,find the different icons that really,works well for me how we're going to be,doing,is I'm going to jump into a screen share,and show you the entire process of how I,create my Instagram highlight covers and,then we'll jump right back in here so,let's jump right in to this screen share,hello hello everybody welcome to my,screen share so as you can see on my,laptop I have my Instagram feed pulled,up on the left side so I could look at,the colors and overall aesthetic of my,feed and then over on the right side are,a few things that I want to show you,that work well with creating your,highlight covers okay so first step when,picking your highlight covers is to pick,colors that match your Instagram,aesthetic or match your brand and if you,don't already have those colors that I'm,going to show you a way to do that,there's a few ways my favorite is using,colors Co it is completely free to start,the generator you just click right here,and it's going to pull up a bunch of,color suggestions that you can just keep,playing with until you find the colors,that you really love if you're not,vibing with any of these you could press,the spacebar and it will shuffle the,colors for you and I'm just gonna keep,pressing shuffle until like I see a,general theme that I like or a specific,color I like say I like this green ish,color like sea foam green II but I want,it a little bit more on the blue end I'm,just gonna tweak it a smidge I feel like,that matches this photo pretty well so,I'm just gonna lock it in place and then,I can keep shuffling,who doesn't love a good pink color you,know yeah you just keep doing that,process until you find five colors that,you absolutely love something that you,do want to note when you are done with,choosing your five colors writing down,these numbers because you will need the,color code later so write down these,colors or at least export save it to,your computer so you have these codes to,use when we start jumping into canva,another option you can do is Pinterest,you can literally look up Color Oops,palette so look up color palette and,Pinterest has a ton of color palettes,that you could use pros and cons with,this pros you can like pick based off of,a theme vintage rustic modern if you,find a palette that you absolutely love,it might not have the color code on it,so I have a way that you can get the,color code say I really like these,colors I'm just gonna save that image,and I'm going to go to this boom,Shakalaka,this is HTML color codes info you can,upload a file there we go so you can,upload a file that you really like and,then just click on the color and then,all identify the color code for you this,is something you could do if you have a,color palette that you found on,Pinterest or what I do is all you,actually use one of my Instagram photos,that I feel have a great representation,like this one I feel has a good overall,run over all representation of what my,feed and brand is it has the like deep,orange and the teal and travel um so I,would up

How To Create Instagram Highlight Covers with Photoshop & Canva
today I'm gonna be showing you why you,should consider putting highlight covers,on your profile as well as a,step-by-step process on how to create,these in both Photoshop and canva we got,a lot going on today so let's get right,into it,what's going on everybody my name is,Ryan snod it rhymes with odd and welcome,to another video in today's video I'm,gonna be sharing with you how to create,your own Instagram highlight covers to,make your profile look more professional,a lot of people have been asking me,about this since I posted these on my,own profile a couple weeks ago so I,thought I'd make a video and help you,guys out with it by now you've probably,seen other accounts and doing similar,things and you're curious about how you,can create it for yourself and I don't,really blame you because these things,look super slick there's a lot of,benefits to putting slated highlight,covers on your account including making,everything look more branded making,everything look more streamlined and,when people hit your profile for the,first time they know what to expect from,you in your highlights as well as from,your grid so now you know some of the,benefits of why you'd want to do this so,let's get into exactly how we're gonna,do this with Photoshop and canva so this,is a project that I've already done for,my own business my own personal account,as well as my fiance's business account,so I'm gonna walk you through exactly,how I did that and make sure that you,understand how to do it for yourself the,canvas size for this project is going to,be 1080 by 1920 which is the exact frame,of this video but turn sideways so it,would fit onto a phone screen so how,this is going to work is we're going to,design them in Photoshop exactly how,they're gonna appear in your Instagram,stories and then we will upload them as,a highlight cover but we'll get to that,in a second you want to think of about a,couple of icons that are going to,represent the types of things that you,typically upload to your stories so for,today's example we'll use the stuff that,I created a couple days ago using this,method which the first one was this play,button obviously I make a lot of videos,on YouTube so I like to cross-promote,those on my Instagram page so it's,really simple all you have to do is go,to google and type in whatever type of,image that you're looking for in a PNG,format so for the last example that we,just did with the YouTube icon all you,have to do is look up YouTube icon PNG,and there's a couple different options,here if you go to transparent usually,that's a really good option and you can,see that this checkered background,indicates that it is a PNG file so all,you have to do is right click hit save,image as or copy image and then ctrl V,to paste but as you can see the upload,is going to be kind of too fat for this,and it's going to be too large so we,want to try and make this a lot smaller,so you're just going to go up to edit,transform and scale and then just grab,one of the corners and suck it in a,little bit and then what you want to do,is just drag it until,it's directly in the center and I like,to command - just a zoom out to see,where it's at that's still pretty big so,I'm gonna make a little bit smaller I,don't like these to be super large,because it just looks a little tacky in,my opinion and that should be good so,we're just gonna click off place it boom,so you could leave it just like that if,you wanted to but since my brand colors,are this primary orange as well as white,black and slate gray I wanted to change,these so they're on brand with my,profile and the stuff that I usually,upload so you could leave it red like,this or you can just fill it with the,Paint Bucket which is what I did so all,you have to do is go over to the Paint,Bucket make sure your orange is selected,on here and just click and bam and just,change it directly into the type of,color that I want so you can do this,with every single logo that you do now,you don't have to have just an all-white,background you can change the background,color completely if you want but I like,to keep it all white and minimal just so,it's not as loud and just kind of,in-your-face so as you can see I saved,all of mine here and they all look like,this so there's my behind the scenes my,dummbell for the fitness stuff the,popcorn for the reels that I like to put,up for my portfolio the Hat for style,this is my thing for empowerment and my,YouTube behind the scenes so if you're,working on a Mac and an iPhone this is,really simple all you do is just command,a to select it all right click and go,down to share and then just go to,airdrop now make sure that your,Bluetooth is on on your phone and for,your computer and they're synced up and,then you just airdrop it directly to,your phone now if you're not working,with all Mac products all you have to do,is just email these to yourself put them,in a Dropbox file or a Google Drive,folder and just retrieve them on your,phone so then once you'v
