Hi, today I come with something I rarely do, but still enjoy doing, which is a TUTORIAL!!!!
Since a few days ago, the idea of renewing my image around here has been latent, so I started by uploading a new cover or background image, as you prefer to call it, but it didn't stop there, so I decided to update my banner and today the day has come.
![como crear tu banner en.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/AKHyxFruSsABJMzgUye4owt5iYTq2gieMqNpaXZMddnuWSYfhv7PsKNWGeLcN7A.png)
For me the Banner here at Hive is like the signature in your email, it is something that everyone who wants to and decides to get to the end of your post, will see it!
When I first started Hive, I created one, I wanted it to cover the things that I like, that I am passionate about, such as my love for TV series, movies, music, my love for BSB (backstreet Boys) and, without a doubt, my love for animals by placing a doggie paw print, accompanied by a little doll that is supposed to be me and my name.

I must clarify that I don't have a high performance computer or knowledge in design, I do things with very basic tools actually, as they are; CANVA and Power Point, so experts, please if you read this don't be too hard on me.
Now after this great introduction, let's get to what we came for, let's create a Banner!!!!
2.Conexión a Internet
3.Paciencia y buena disposición!
Opcional: Yo utilizo una aplicación en mi teléfono celular, que se llama Bitmoji, allí diseñé o creé un avatar de mí y es la muñequita que utilizo, esta aplicación podrás encontrarla en la Play Store.
What will we need? Well, here is a short list:
1.Desktop or Laptop Computer
2.Internet connection
3.Patience and willingness!
Optional: I use an application on my cell phone, which is called Bitmoji, there I designed or created an avatar of me and is the doll I use, this application can be found in the Play Store.
![ff6e3dda-f33c-4c86-84ae-6e82946d9384.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/AKDiqqhLPdVXrNQJ4HH48QQUtJEVKUtk5nnB6f1ciamUCRqCWr3C4X3AYAYazrT.jpg)
Now, having all this, we go to the computer, where we will open the CANVA website, do not worry if you do not have an account, creating one is very simple, just choose to log in with your google or facebook account, accept the permissions and that's it.
![1.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/23xp8dmXxJTUx9LfTwxr48gFVh2EarvVU9pQcbGz9HpGtvxSsv7DnGitY6ijsUzECHxex.png)
Once you are inside you don't have much to worry about, because the interface is quite friendly, quite simple I would say, so this is what will appear on the screen.
![2.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/EpVFVJPwMieQ7B4QVs8nZkWBYDUGzFNznQ8RMh4QZnAT48WgYveYB9Cumy2zZkUn2vd.png)
Now, if you look in the part of what you are going to design, you will immediately see a series of options and templates to create something much faster and simpler.
![3.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/EpLkM587hhEZQTeQUyEjvkTsjrJksT32r9G8d2CRANSLfM1cCdU9YJ8BzSgr4NjRBn8.png)
In my case, I already had in mind what I wanted. I wanted something simple, with a white background so that it wouldn't interfere with my bitmoji dolls and where I wouldn't have to be removing the backgrounds with worry that it wouldn't look perfect, so I chose something custom sized, a size I feel comfortable working with of 1280 x 268 px.
![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/23viGv9Jw7NZ4PaHbxTspqbL6828FijqmVFLyfZiMZAcqN1tQhU7xK6gZjQCSh9qXm45c.png)
And this is what comes out, basically lots of themes, backgrounds or templates to choose from and a totally blank box.
![5.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/23uRBMMXntN6pUakvSJTq73jmHR3CZKp574Ftadx74uBbPPxGQov1VYR8toCQRLHmUrk8.png)
The steps to follow vary entirely depending on what you want to do, as I said, I already had in mind what I wanted to achieve, so this streamlined the process a bit.
I took my phone and chose the images I wanted to appear in my banner. Bitmoji is a fairly simple application, so don't worry about it, after creating your avatar you can find several ways for your avatar to appear.
In the Search Stickers section, you write what you are looking for, press enter, and when you find the image of your choice, you must select it and download it or send it by mail, whatsapp, telegram, wherever you feel more comfortable to use it from the computer.
![6.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/23zSGHpvuDVd2ma3se8J25LLYtj9s2u11GMrNUvVLTGr1r7NymmdX7p2uNhfwMKJ3Ej5R.png)
Now we return to CANVA, where we are going to upload the images that we are going to use, you can upload as in my case also the logo of HIVE, for this, we will go to the button where it says "Uploaded" and then to upload files, where we will be able to choose in our computer the images previously saved, so that these are uploaded to the page of CANVA, to be able to use them and when they are already completely loaded they will leave us in the part 3 of the image.
![7.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/23wXFxC3QvRJZHhXJprx4FtVJ8TYMVe2Yb54emPopFvvA7y4rp58gL1TKn6tTPUbNvtH1.png)
Once we have the images already loaded in the page, we are going to proceed to arrange them according to our tastes, for this we select the image and this goes directly to the page in this case in white that we have there in screen.
When we have the image already in the part of the template where we will work, we can select it by clicking on it and with the mouse pointer we can change its size, move it around and play with it a little bit, so to speak.
In my case, I went to the elements section because I wanted to find some things to decorate the image, so I started by looking for the word "Splash" because I wanted some subtle paint splashes on my image.
Here it is very important to select images that do not have the "crown", so that it is not premium and you don't get a horrible watermark. As the image I liked was white like the background, I decided to change its color to a light gray, so that it could be seen but with a subtle touch; so I selected it and then I went to the color box where I could choose the color I liked.
![10.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/23w33x3f3TWqJ1JdzNorJciy7tRPQs9CPmy73PKJQ6f4YPZphtwfSoo8X1mdDJ9kEjQVE.png)
In this way we look for the "ornaments", figures that we want and we play a little with them at our convenience, as I did with the image of the world to make it look like the cat is playing with it, the airplane, and another bit of Splash.
Now it is time to customize it even more and place the Hive logo, for which we must return to the "uploaded" section, select it and place it in the place of our preference, leaving the name at the end.
To place the name, we will have to go to the "text" part just below the uploaded option. There we will find several default fonts and text forms, it is up to you whether to choose one of those or do as I did and go to the option to add text and choose the font in a traditional way, as if we were doing it in word, power point or excel.
![13.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/23wCWv6wp135oC6ZpRX5dnjNugXqQUrHu8Y6Bd7srXSQYVBou9RSzY2cpieHxFPKYcw8C.png)
And now that you know how to place text, you write whatever you want in the image, in my case, I wrote my name, my HIVE user, and the name of my dog and my kitty.
When you have your banner ready, simply download it, save it on your pc and it's ready for when you want to use it.
![15.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stephytdh/EoH3eewr69YmPFqwbHsGwhXhyrZWCy8PtqdJ798kgdEQRtasxoyhdrq5xhYpgKktT79.png)
And that was all for today, I tried not to make it long or confusing, it was still long but hopefully not confusing. The steps can logically vary according to your needs, to the things you want, because this tutorial was made according to mine, however if you have any doubts along the way you can always consult me, my social networks are down here, just click on the logo and it will take you directly to my profile.
Thanks for reading me and don't forget to check out my new banner which is right down here at the end of the post. Huge hugs to all, see you soon!

Canva es una buena página para poder hacer todo tipo de banners y logotipos, hay miles de ideas que esta página nos puede mostrar, todos mis separadores, y edición de portadas los hago en esa página, también lo recomiendo al 100%.
El tutorial que has hecho está muy bien explicado, a demás había una cosa que aún no sabía de Canva y era el buscador de ideas, antes yo hacia todo desde cero sin ideas, colocaba lo primero que se me venía a la mente, y el tamaño del lienzo lo hacía calculando y probándolo al hacer post para ver que tan grande era la imagen, sabiendo esto ahora se me hará mucho más fácil hacer mis actualizaciones.
Excelente explicación. Muy oportuna para mí, ya que estoy iniciando en la plataforma y pese a tener años de experiencia en lo que muestro que es mi trabajo con quilling, nunca había editado fotos, así que me toca aprender y justo me estoy empezando con canva. Gracias. Que tengas bello fin de semana. 🤗💕
Que bueno que fuera oportuna para ti esta publicación, canva cuenta con una interfaz muy amigable, así que te sera de mucha ayuda sin que te compliques. Saludos!

Hola estimada @stephytdh, gracias por este tutorial. Tengo pocos meses en Hive y casualmente estaba buscando información. Me encanto porque das el paso a paso y lo entendí rapidito, felicitaciones. Te deseo éxitos, salud y prosperidad, te mando un abrazo de osos y gracias, gracias, gracias.
Hola, no imaginas cuanto me contenta leer tu comentario, que no solo te haya sido útil el post sino que se pudiera entender a la perfección pues al realizar tutoriales me da un poco de temor que estos no se entiendan bien, así que muchas gracias por tus palabras. Muchos abrazos y éxitos en este nuevo camino en Hive, aunque no soy experta tienes aquí a una nueva compañera que sin duda y con mucho gusto te ayudara en lo que pueda!
Está muy bueno, muy bien explicado. Yo casi todo lo hago con Photoshop es el que más o menos conozco. Voy a probar con Canva. Gracias por compartir, estimada @stephytdh . Que estés bien. Un fuerte abrazo desde Maracay.
Gracias a ti por tu comentario, me alegra que te gustara y que se lograra entender. Justo de los sabedores de Photoshop es que me preocupaban los comentarios pues, CANVA a su lado es para bebes o al menos así lo veo yo. Abrazos y saludos desde San Cristóbal, la ciudad de la cordialidad!!
Puede que no seas una profesional pero definitivamente hiciste el trabajo de uno, me gustó muchísimo pero me gustó todavía más que decidieras compartir tus conocimientos con el resto de nosotros.
Te gustan los BSB, a mi hermana @Mairene1 también jaja ¡Le encantan! Su favorito es Brian.
Así es jaja ¡Ay tan bellos! Gracias por recordármelo. ¡AMO A LOS BACKSTREET BOYS!
Muchas Gracias por tus palabras, la verdad me siento muy alagada, siento que el conocimiento a la larga no es mucho si no se comparte, si no se trasmite, así que estos post son mis pequeños granitos de arena para la comunidad.
Quiero aclarar,no solo me gustan los BSB, sino que los amo con locura, de hecho en algunos de mis post hablo de ellos y cuento mi experiencia de un concierto de ellos al cual pude asistir, mi favorito sin duda y sin pensarlo es Nick así que tranquila @mairene1 que no hay rivalidad jajaja , si quieren ver los posts de los BSB, aquí se los dejo, saludos y abrazos para ambas!

https://peakd.com/hive-193816/@stephytdh/el-mejor-concierto-al-que-fui-the-best-concert-i-ever-went-to
Wow! Ya mismo voy a revisarlos porque yo también LOS AMO con locura, me alegra que hayas podido ir a uno de sus conciertos, ese es uno de mis sueños frustrados jajaja.
jaja Sí, Nick al principio era mi favorito pero luego Brian se robó mi corazón y hasta el sol de hoy no me lo quiere regresar.
Muchísimas gracias por compartir una información tan valiosa como esta, de verdad que aprecio bastante este tipo de post porque muchas veces tenemos dudas y no tenemos la menor idea de como resolverlas y definitivamente que hacer un banner es una de las incertidumbres, sobre todo por eso de las medidas adecuadas. Muchas gracias.
Muchas gracias a ti por leer el post y no solo el comentario relacionado con los BSB jajjaj, me alegra que te fuera útil. Todos en algún momento hemos tenido dudas o simplemente no sabemos como hacer algo, es por esto que decidí compartir esta pequeña informacion, mostrando un poco como hago las cosas y no sabes cuanto me emociona que realmente sea útil para alguien mas. Abrazos!
Esto es un post esencial y estoy segura que muchos aprenden con esto
