Great tutorial I'm looking into taking my artwork to the next level and this helps alot
It’s important to have a professional YouTube channel art because it is just one part of a complete video content strategy. That is why I made a video tutorial on my channel on how to make a Youtube banner using a free online graphic app.
Very informative. What I don't get though is exactly why YouTube says that the channel art has to be such a huge size when in fact all that is done is creating a banner in the middle!! That makes no sense to me.
thanks for the tips i hope can custom my own art banner soon
what type of photo shop is it???
Thanks ❤️
Nice video thank you
Simple is the best, as always.
You legit just gave me exactly what I wanted in the first 30 seconds…mark of a good info video thanks!
This was great. I will try it but… how did you bring those things in? Where were they originally before you had them there on the side?
Way over my head at this time. I need my computer to follow.
Well done on the video over all the only issue I seemed to have with this is you used pretty much all pre made assets that you did yourself and just dropped it in. I think a way to find free artwork to use (or even make easily) plus the text and such would of been nice.
Hey Roberto! Great Vid. Do you create your own graphic cartoon character? If so do you have a video on how you did it?
So im following this tutorial using PHOTOPEA after you suggested in your last video. im hoping it translate as well
my profile picture not updated yet
Thank you!
way to confusing
and that would work out just fine, i think that works out, it works out just fine.
I love photoshop. Nice tutorial Roberto.
Super helpful and easy to follow. Thanks Roberto!
Youtube has hit this video with 3 unskippable wix ads dude….not cool and sorry couldnt watch your video.
Learning so much from you, appreciate the time you put in. I'm getting lots of skills that I am going to be applying in my digital marketing agency.
Anyone here makes dope channel art , profile pics , thumbnails etc Hit me up shootfirstyt@gmail looking to start a YouTube gaming channel Will pay for dope and creative ideas so hit the email lets talk business
Thanks for this timely video. I'm currently reading Schmoyer's book and was getting hemmed up in the channel art section.
premier pro please.
I'm on a tight budget. Can you recommend software for a new Youtuber with limited tech skills?
Thanks buddy. Which font is used for "Always Be Creative"? Thanks in advance.
Where can I download the template that you're using?
Can you make a video on how to remove yourself from one background and put on another background.
I already know how to make channel art, but watching this because I always like watching other creator's process of how they do it 🙂

Thanks for this, Roberto. I have been unhappy with channel art for a while now. And just really didn't know where to start.
Er, where was this video when I needed it two weeks ago?? Lol
