Digital Sign Design Quote Template Made Easy

Esigning design quote template

hey guys trying something new today please let me know what you think about it in the comments so in a Facebook group I was asked the question how do you create quote graphics so what I want to do is walk through the process that I use when I create graphics for my Instagram account now if you like this question-and-answer format please drop me a question in the comments and I will use that to create a video in the future if you've not gone to LaShonda brown comm and gotten access to my VIP vault you'll want to do that because I actually have 30 free Instagram quote graphics already ready for you to use with Endemol all you have to do is type in your name and email without further ado let happen you have a couple options when creating quote graphics for Instagram you can either create them for your Instagram story or you can create them for your Instagram feed regardless you'll be creating custom dimension images in canva if that's what you choose to use I use it for my web graphics because it's quick and easy I don't feel like hopping into an Adobe program like Photoshop Illustrator or InDesign if that's what you love go for it but if you want to do it quickly just use a free account on the website canva so at the top you want to hit on custom dimensions and we're actually going to create both side by side so 1080 by 1920 is your dimension for your Instagram story and if you go back and do 1080 by 1350 you'll create an Instagram graphic for your Instagram feed now I like to keep them named the sizes at the top while I'm working on the graphic and when I'm done then I will rename it that way I don't get them confused now you can create a graphic with just some black text on a white background but if you want to mix things up I would highly recommend using the website unsplash you can search at the top for the types of graphics you're looking for I'm going to use a colored wall for the one showing you how to do today and let's see this image looks really cool so we're going to go ahead and click and download that and use that on our graphics now you're one to upload your own images and I like to save it on the desktop because it's easy to use easy to find when I download but do whatever works for you and then you'll just want to place your image now this one is my Instagram story so I'm actually going to crop this so that it is all woman's face but for my Instagram feed add a bit more of the wall now based on the image you can decide how big you want to make the text so I like to do my image graphics first now one thing to remember on your Instagram feed is they are going to crop this in your feed so if you need a reference for the sake of your text I recommend just adding a little square as kind of a point of reference and then sticking that in the middle and that kind of gives you some areas to use as to where you want your text to appear now you can go to Instagram and you can search hashtag quotes for quotes you can go to Twitter do the same thing hashtag quotes and choose a tweet that's popular so you can look at the amount of retweets and likes on an image before you select a quote or my favorite is you can go to Pinterest and just type in and quote and choose a quote from there so once you have your quote in mind go back to canva and you're going to add your text boxes now if you do a paid canva account you'll be able to upload your own font so if you're really into a strong brand identity and you want everything to match I would recommend going ahead and paying for canva now you can add your text if you want to just copy that you can do that and I like to mix typefaces in my quote graphics so I'm going to use these two and then change it now again based on that this is my Instagram story graphic so I can play around a bit with the placement but you want to remember not to put text down here because it will be covered up by buttons so you could do something here over her eyes or you could do it down here together I think I want to place it underneath the chin and I'm actually going to move her head up a bit to give me some more space and now that I see it we're just going to do the one text box and we'll go back here do the exact same thing and I'm going to use my font okay actually here we go and that looks good for the sizing and so you can mix things up if you'd like I think that will be good so now I know about the area I can get rid of that text box and see where it falls so I'm going to move her head up just a tad again put that down there and that'll go there now one thing that I do find is sometimes the text is difficult to read on the images so what I do is I just say add a little rectangle throw that on top make it black place it behind the text and then we will make it transparent now you can decide you know how transparent you want it to be with just enough to make the image a bit more legible that looks good there and we'll go back to the Instagram story graphic and do the same thing all righty now what I like to do is keep the first one as a little template and just copy it and now we'll add our quote now again you can take your quote from Instagram Twitter or Pinterest and you can move it once you've got everything in place alrighty so now you have everything in place and you can go ahead and rename this so you could just say Instagram graphic template and you could call this one into the Graham story template then to make sure that you keep this one in place you'll just say download and select page number to download select page number two you'll save those to your desktop and you can email them to yourself drop them in Google Drive or drop-offs if you have this apps on your phone and then upload directly to Instagram with your favorite hashtags so I hope this was useful to you I really love using canva and I highly recommend you using it in your business if you have not joined my VIP vault we can go ahead and have seamless Rhonda
