How to create an email signature in gmail

hey guys it's Mariah and today I want to teach you a really quick tutorial on how to create branded email signatures for your gmail account I think email signatures that are branded and designed something more elaborate than just your name typed out are super professional they really elevate your brand and I think they just stand out from everyone else so if you want your Gmail to look freaking awesome let's watch this tutorial so the first thing that you're going to need to do is actually design your signature in another program whether that's I use illustrator because that's what I use for everything um if you're a Photoshop person that's cool too if you are sticking to your canva that's fine so whatever it is you need to design it in and do that first I already have mine designed and I actually want to create my signature to be clickable so I want these social media links or icons to be actual buttons in my signature so I've designed it so that I can split this graphic up into a few different images in illustrator is actually a really easy way to do that it's called the slice tools right here I actually already have a document where it's all sliced ready to go but you can see that these red marks are dissecting my entire image to create smaller ones that I will then put all back together within Gmail so once you have your design saved out in any individual buttons saved out as their own images as well like I do here we can get going so you can see that every one of these is their own icon so we're going to first go to the Internet I use a site called post image org the site is a website where you can upload a image and it will give you a URL for that image so for example we're going to choose choose images you're going to pick your first image for your email signature and it's going to give you a bunch of links you're going to want to use the one that says direct link I don't know don't use the one that just says link I don't know what that one is it doesn't work so use the direct link you're just going to copy it to your clipboard if you're on Mac that's just command C and then we're going to go over to Gmail so to edit our gmail signature we're going to go to the gear icon click settings and head down here going to oops delete all this so we can recreate it okay so now to add that image to our signature we're going to click on this little mountain icon that says insert image and we're going to choose web address URL and you're going to paste it here going to load a preview like awesome that's what I wanted press...
