hi guys this is Eve from easy CMS today we're gonna discuss how to create content for free for digital signage so you certainly heard already content is king and it's true content for digital signage is really important so you need to get this right but unfortunately it's not always possible for everybody to hire a designer motion designer graphic designer to do the job so most of the people who try to do it themselves and it's not always easy so today we're gonna discover how to do it yourself how to do it for free and how to make it like a professional so let's get started [Music] hi guys so here we are let's get started so the first thing to do is to sign up to piktochart if you're not already signed up the easiest way is to just use Google Facebook or you can just do it with your email so I will personally use Google and just say that I'm 16 years old so here we go I already had an account so I'm in the first thing to do is to go to create new here and then choose poster hey you already have some templates but for the moment we'll not use them we just start from a blank template here and here we go so the user interface is very you know very simple so as you can see this main menu here on the left so me news here for photos and other things and here's where you have some controls for the main layout and you can download a final design over here so let's start first by adjusting the settings here the resolution of the canva ah so layout and I will input simply a full resolution HD display so they say that we're creating content for an LCD display I will click back here and I will zoom a little bit yeah here we go and you can see here we've got our first early-out empty and it's ready to go so let's get started by adding some background picture hey I go to photos and 40s example we'll use a bakery example because it's you know it's more fun and you got some very nice pictures here so we're gonna make it easy so we'll add a background image so to make sure that your images are kind of keeping the sighs just keep shift you know and it will resize accordingly keeping the proportions here we go so you have some guys included as you can see so here's a line the orange line is actually indicating the middle of the canva so let's do this I will lock this layer and on the top of it I will add some [Music] shape basic shape a rectangle here we go I will place it here make it take some space here we go we leave some space on the side and I will reduce your passage each around 40 can in put it here manually if I want to okay I will lock just layers one up it's done now what I will do is add some text to it so here I have the text option and I can scroll you see I already have some very nice examples of text that I could use and I will select this one here or there here we go I will place it here I will change the color of the text make it white gonna stand out more here we go and here as well make it white you got it not change it for the moment I will add some graphics to it as well so here my semi new I will go to the ship's an icon I will type wet and here we they have some really cool icons I can select I will select this one if you like they very nice I will zoom in here we go and I will place it here on the top here we go make it a bit bigger oh yeah it looks great so I'm just gonna change the colors one and put it white and then I get white to use a multi bit make sure that in the center of the canva just to look nice this one as well okay some questions here you know here we go I got my text make sure it's centered and I will add as well some of the graphics I will add a line at the bottom so it's here I'll make it slightly bigger I will change the color - here we go I will change the style so I can make it slightly bigger and I will make it dotted here we go I will make it slightly smaller now here we go so we'll change the text I will say fresh bread we bake for the long here we go so he already have my first layout so simple image and it's working it's working very fine so I will duplicate this I will click on the clone black icon and I will remove this because for this content here I will do something slightly different I will actually keep the text make it a bit smaller here we go and I will add the picture but I will put this picture in the frame so I will just call here so this is these are frames it's like a mask to actually mask some images as you can see so you can mask with letters so you have quite a lot of functions here we go down and I will select this one like this one is very simple make it bigger here we go slightly smaller maybe here we go what I will do is select the text that is in this layout and I will yeah delete it here we go so of course I don't run the picture of a girl so I'm just gonna change it for some bread images and here I've got quite a lot of choice again you know got this one and got this one so just simply gonna choose this one like it just gonna adjust it make it a bit bigger to see that it's some blond bread really done here we go and I will say here I'll change my text if I manage to do it here here we go I will lock this layer actually to make it easier and I will change my text here save on red and just a little tagline underneath very healthy for you here we go so I got my picture it was very nice born bred can make it a bit bigger here hopefully I can movie I can even use the arrow to actually move things over place it in the center maybe but the up but this below and so hey what I would like to do is to add some some price to it of course to make sure that you know people see how much I'm sending this product for and I will go to shapes and icon I will not search for bread I'll go for basic shapes and I will not just not here I'm gonna just say shape here and I will scroll and I will try to find the shape I want here we go like this one we put it here so sometimes you can see there is a little kind of a bird over here somehow it's not really kind of keeping its I would save and I will go back to the main menu here we go and we enter and it will solve this yeah here we go is back in there in the mask so no I will add my little price tag here here we go I will change the color to make it kind of pop out a bit make it orange and I would like to arrange to bring its backward slightly here we go behind this layer now I will make it slightly bigger there we go I will adjust it she wants to up perfect and I will add the price I would go to text title and here we go I will say it's 2.5 lures for example I don't know much but could cost eventually and that kind of fantasy bakery but let's assume that it's to us I will use a font which is very visible as well this one I like here we go and I will use a white color for it to stand out or is select it again color white doesn't cooperate here color white here we go and we'll adjust it here we go so here I have in five minutes already some very nice content that I can use I will again duplicate this here we go and here I will put another product so for example I go back to graphics go back to photo and I say okay I'm not listening bad I'm sitting croissants well here we go no not cross cross sound here we go yeah very nice I got some very nice pictures of cross over here that this one I got this one so yeah basically I just choose a picture I want let's say this is a blue one here to add some color here we go I want to make it a bit bigger up done and I will simply change here twice I would say it's one year oh and ten cents for one question and I will say I go fresh so okay so here we go I'll of course and by the way it's quit and I will again to picket this no before that I will unlock this and I will actually change because I'm not trying to picture wet behind my croissant I actually want a picture of croissant so what I will do is use background that will match is this and I will maybe use I'm just checking what is good to use here and it's plenty difficult to choose I always if you take the first one maybe here we go I'll make sure it's it's at the back so I will click here and I will send to the back and I will make it very big this one try to make it a bit bigger come on yeah very good I will make sure it's to the back and here we go it looks great Wow mmm very nice I will maybe bring my picture of course on slightly lower yeah here we go I will duplicate this page and I will add an extra information here I will duplicate this click it and just copy paste here put this here and I will say for example - for make it slightly smaller here we go - for two euros great so like that I can add some little promotion here and maybe some graphic for example so Mauro to kind of point to this direction okay for example let's say what would be good here to use let's choose a nice I would that would match the design what could we use first one is nice [Music] they don't mean that this one really cool as well not this one let's say up alright make it bigger with tragical put it in orange up I will rotate it slightly here we go and I will flip it up and to actually make it visible I would like to extend this here we go - for two years let make it slightly so now I have my three images and they're looking very nice it's all you know perfect for my digital signage I will simply export it hey PNG is fine normal is fine I will download this block so to make sure every image is separated I would wait for the download to take place and I will get my images in a zip folder the zip folder what I will do is it is simply unzip it and I will upload it to easy semi so I'm just going to show you how to do that just now hey I'm back so here we go so I got the export ready so it's great I've got my first image my second image my third image and my last image so loo it's looking great really I did it in 10 minutes and it's really looking perfect for any any title signage so I will delete that is this a little piktochart logo I will head to my easy CMS here we go I'm gonna go to my layouts and I will just simply utterly out bakery picked up shot demo so the rest is fine leave it as it is I do the check out here we go and I just have now to add the images I would just go to image and here I will add the files and I'll just go to my desktop here select my images choose and start the upload piktochart is exporting pictures which are slightly heavy so it's five megabytes four megabytes so in the best case I will reduce it using Photoshop or any other tool to actually reduce the size but five megabyte fine image is still decent still okay here we go and I have now all my images so what have we do is we organized it because I uploaded in the wrong direction so here we go 0 1 2 & 3 0 1 2 3 so here we go we got the images in the right order that's perfect first class on everything I can just check it here yeah looks great so that's it i think that was restored but very you know interesting introduction to how to create content yourself so as you can see piktochart is completely free is very easy to use and it can allow you to create content very easily so yeah if you have any question don't hesitate to us by comment by email don't forget to subscribe I'm available to answer your questions and get creating thank you
