Creating My Ecency Tipping Banner

in #hive-1251252 years ago

So @dreemsteem had the fun idea to get creative and have us all join in!

Now compared to yesterdayñs challenge this was way more up my alley. Not that I am a designer, but I have been playing around a little making nice moving images for my posts. Like the one below.

That one was for my beacon of light in the darkness post.

I just like to put in a bit of effort I guess, especially because all my images are from Pixabay it´s just more personal if you work them a bit, make them more personal.

Now as I got 2 super comments on my attempt to create a Ecency Tipping Banner I will quickly show you what I did.

I used the free version of Canva to create the banner: https://www.canva.com/banners/

So first I looked for a background that suited my idea.
And found this one on Pixabay

Then I wanted to do something with tipping and I found this guy tipping his hat (sort of).

To ensure you do not have a background search vectors, not images (right of the keyword).

Now that guy just did the trick, he made me feel like it was a jolly good day.

So I went to Canva and opened an empty banner template. Uploaded those images.

And then made the slide show you require for a gif. Just moving, resizing, and adding the text. Canva is pretty intuitive.

As you know timing is everything, so make sure to set that clock right for each slide. You can test run the timing by using the play button.

Now we are already nearing the end, just select your Text Type.

And if you want your text to be animated.

Now the first try was messy, but here is the second one and you will see the timing is not yet what it should be.

So my last bit of advice is to really check that timer. And to make the animation continuous as per @jane1289 ´s question. Press the play button I mentioned earlier and download it as a gif.

Bottom Line

Just start having fun with those free images and Canva, it will go a long way!

Nice once..how to make the animation continuous?

Oh darn I was planning to add that and then my boss called..... and I forget ...so thanks for saving my....! I edited the post and added the how, please let me know if you have any other questions.

Oh . i made mine too haha thanks

Great work! I love the splatting heart at the end! Lol.

Lol it just needs that indeed it would have been too much sugar without it. !CTP

Me too...I love the way it just drops and fade out in a bit.

Thank you for this useful guide, I am sure it will help some hivers.

Thank you, love receiving a tip and with a banner very nice indeed!

Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this with us @whywhy, I will get to work and see what I can create.

Hope it helps, I had to create it between meetings (well and during one) so it´s not fancy

For me it's perfect, I really like it 👌☺️.

As the 2nd receiver... Haha

digging the banner Janey!

Awwwnn. I love this banner of yours. So cool and nice 😍😍

Haha thanks Princess

That is just so cool! Have a generous day yourself! !CTP

I love the animation you made to your text. It makes it pop out so nice with the background too. This is lovely banner from you.

That´s so kind. Great to hear you like how it turned out 😊

Thanks for the guide. I made a banner with your help.

Very nice I love how you slowly move in, very capturing !CTP

😆❤️ !CTP

This is an awesome guide, @whywhy.
I have bookmarked it for future reference.
Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks happy to know it helps! !CTP

Your banner is so good, I love it; good job

Wow! I just realized by reading this post that I haven't been exploring pixabay and Canva app as much as I thought I was. Little wonder I still find it difficult creating on canva app.

This is a great banner you made. It's lovely.

PIZZA!

PIZZA Holders sent $PIZZA tips in this post's comments:
@samsmith1971(3/10) tipped @whywhy (x1)

Yes Yes!!!

I love how you set those timers because they would determine how it displays each of them. And making it look like a pro, you have to exercise patience and watch the preview many times to be sure it's giving you the satisfaction it deserves.

I'm sure that I would create a unique one soon...hehe thanks Whywhy I appreciate this.
Ciao

Thanks for sharing this! New to Ecency and still learning how to work it.

What a helpful post!

Quick question, does that tipping banner automatically tip the author? 😂
This is great. I'm still finding my way around Canva and this is very helpful. Thank you so much.

Nope it´s just the message you leave when you give an Ecency presents clicking that gift box more on that here https://ecency.com/hive-125125/@dreemsteem/do-you-see-what-i#@cescajove/re-whywhy-2022719t13544455z

Wowww! This step by step guide is gona make the use of canva easier for the others.

Canva is fun, but time taking as well. I spend hours on it once I start doing the editing .

Sooo Cute & Thank you! And I know it´s dev. fun but you easily spend a lot of time getting all the tricks and combining them as well so for this weeks challenge I thought to at least explain as some had asked.

Nice explanation

Why you have done it in cute way haha, kidding dude. So the idea you had in your mind was about tipping and stimulating others to spread the generosity. You have done it very well. Simple yet decent.

I have designed my banner days ago edited it 5-6 times and still it's pending hehe canva is easy to use but the gif or video quality we obtain isn't so good Nah. There are magical stickers in canva you can go for them too but this banner is also cute .

Oh my goodness, I loved this post! It helped me so much... I was finding just the thought of making a banner quite daunting!!! But then I came across your post - so generous with your time spent explaining in clear simple English what needed to be done... it demystified it all for me...so thank you...and now I feel brave enough to explore canva even more. You rock ❣️

And this is what I was able to make as a result... of your help... and yes... you have been tipped! 💖

!LUV !PIZZA

That is so freaking well done .... I am a sucker for purple so you def. did amazing LOVING IT!
