So welcome to therapy, and here we will be doing similar things that we did in a previous letter in
Affinity Photo, and we will be making a thumbnail right here using our templates.
Remember what a piece actually almost full fledged Photoshop so you can use it for your own thumbnail
templates or things like that.
So what it will do is I'm going to just open a template my computer.
I'm going to use this Typekit because this is actually one of the easier ones to work with immediately.
As you will see, it works.
It operates in a very similar way as it was operating in affinity for we can do due the controls.
You control the everything like that and you will see everything how it actually works in a similar
way that it was innovated for.
But we will also do is that I will actually upload the similar image that we did in a previous thumbnail
tutorial to just make it seem as close to that as possible.
That's basically the same image, and I'm going to try to put it same way.
I want to put it right here, and I'm going to create a clipping mask.
I'm going to delete this image.
I don't need this girl's image right there.
I'm going to delete the link as well because I actually don't need that.
And what I will do is I will actually resize the image.
But injuries form the click transform controls right here, so it would be everything would be visible.
I made it a bit cold in shift when you're resizing it because otherwise it will change its shape.
Again, it's not enough.
I'm going to hold shift and make it like that.
Remember, in a previous thumbnail, we did something similar with it right here, but then we are going
to go with the title and we are going to add a text selected to text all its behind my face.
If you want to see one show, it's again, it's behind my face right here.
The text was right here and I'm going to add a text.
And you know, what I will do is, let's see.
We have a ababa's as a font to you.
If you have preloaded, yes, we have bebés new here, but we have the bold font.
We don't really know what.
Let's load the bold font as well.
OK, we loaded the bold font.
It will be available next time that will use this.
But you know what, right here we actually can use this, and let's write the text is video editor then
to select this one and you cannot see this here because it's right, very small and very black text.
And actually, I didn't select the bold font right here.
And let's make it white.
Go to selection after we didn't make it white, but OK, whatever old shift, it's actually wrong.
Text editor Right here, I'm going to make this text appear and for some reason have to be video editor.
It's no worries we can fix that.
It's all changeable, all fixable.
Can fix that.
It's not an error.
Then to do that again, to bits, it's a bit difficult for the swan.
VIDEO Edit zero k saturated centered automatically.
Very good.
Very good to text again.
Select entire text.
Give it a color white press.
OK, go to selection again.
And as you can see, we we will do clipping mask here as well.
For it to clip to this one.
You know what?
We're going to delete this one.
We going to step two right here and we will make this disappear and we will just control C control.
We made selected the very wrong layer.
You will delete the critical mass for now.
Uh, control c control v the simplest way to bar making entirely or whatever.
And when a press option and just make it slide like that.
By the way, if you don't know how to do that, well, what I did right here is that you were going
to press option or are you going to press alt and just make the cell actually like that?
And you can make this double selection the same way.
VIDEO Editor Editor Uh, struggles just make this one using shift a bit larger.
And you know what I don't see, uh, make this one like that.
And in a video editor, I'm going to select this text again.
And you know what?
I'm going to make this yellow in color instead white and I'm going to move it to the middle.
And well, as you can see, we practically did that.
We are practically finished.
And as you can see, we practically did everything that we needed.
It's all practically done.
All that we need now is to make this a bit different.
We can add an adjustment layer right here and I'm going to go with vibrance.
Let's make this one a bit more vibrant and a bit more saturated is like that.
And well, that's relatively it.
I won't lie to you.
That's all that we need to do.
Yeah, it's done.
As you can see, we made it very, very fast, as you can see with the thumbnail templates that we just
loaded right here.
It's as simple as it is in affinity photo with a little bit of changes.
You could just make exactly the same thumbnail that I did.
Right here and right now, indeed, it's select this one, disabled transform control said, how do
you like that?
How would you like this thumbnail that we did in free browser based photo editing or for manipulating?
If you want to call it software, it was done for absolutely free.
Who needed is a template.
That's all that we did, and all I did is just make a photo of myself same way.
And that's it.
Well, that's as simple as you can get in.
Photoshop just actually allows you to create great thumbnails.
All you need to do just again, have an idea.
And so in before that, you will start creating.
You should know what you're creating and then continue as you go and edit as you go.
That's all there is.
There is nothing more about thumbnails.
It's thumbnails is not a complicated science, the science of repeating and the learning from your own
mistakes and building on the things that actually work.
This will be for this lecture.
And I guess let's move to the next one.
