hi guys and welcome to today's tutorial
on Microsoft designer let's get going so
we're going to first of all put a prompt
in here make a colorful advert for
Instagram on the topic of AI so straight
away when we've generated that we get a
few examples here so let's have a quick
look Okay click on the first one here
this is a nice purple Globe the second
one is more of a blue sort of light
effect which is quite nice and if you
pick something like this one for
instance I always like to start off with
something like this so so basically if
you just customize the design let's just
open up our templates and just on the
right hand side here just click on these
ideas and you get brand new ideas which
are based on that one so I like to have
a look that's quite a nice one I like
this one yeah this is really cool this
ice I'm going to take this one so I
didn't even end up with the girl but I'm
going to take this one which is quite
nice just checking the others so let's
just put a new text in there let's put
in design with AI
okay that will be the base of the design
today so we'll use this cover for this
Instagram post of this particular video
we'll come up with some of the first
Also let's put in the Microsoft designer
logo which I just downloaded beforehand
we can crop this image now okay it's
quite easy to crop it and move it around
within the frame and once we've got that
centralized that's good it looks good we
can just click on
we can click on done and then we can
just scale that down I'm going to move
that to the bottom here and just align
it with my design with AI just so it
goes off the bottom of the page
um that looks pretty good
okay so what you can do here is that if
you can see on the right hand side
there's quite a few different designs as
well I quite like that one that one's
quite nice and I think what I'll do
first of all is I'm just going to
download this image so let's just click
on download and you can see here PMG
recommended just download it say no
thanks here no problem and then I can
just have a quick look at these ones as
well they look quite nice quite
interesting yeah nice and a nice little
MPEG there as you saw it glow up so you
can see all different ones here how they
um how the design is is made quite
nicely
okay so let's just go backwards to our
design now and I'm going to bring an
image across here let's bring this one
across this is one of myself that I
wanted to put onto the image just to
show that I'm the tutor today and I can
just move that image around let's just
position it slightly there that's great
and just scale that and you see that
little line that appears there look yep
that's it you can scale that exactly to
the size of the one below okay so that
all looks pretty good now I'm just going
to highlight that and now let's give
that a lighting effect so if you lighten
that up nicely
okay that looks quite good as well and
you can see again you've got all the
different designs which you can pick
um and have a look how it works and you
can see how it floats in the design how
it moves like uh like if you want to
save it with an MPEG okay so let's just
replace that image on the right now the
Microsoft design I'm just going to go
back to my media and bring in the image
of myself again then just put that there
and I'll just leave that there for a
second and I'll just put the image of
the Microsoft logo back in on the left
and just position that nicely and it's
just move that into the center
okay that's good and then we'll just
shift this Central piece up make that a
bit smaller and now let's select it all
and just nudge that down to the middle
okay that looks pretty good and now
we'll go back to my image here and I
just want to crop that move that a
little bit further so I can crop there
okay that's done okay that's fine and so
let's just lighten that up again like
we've done before so we'll click on like
that's a warm and that's light
okay that looks pretty good all right
I'm going to download that image again
just simply download it
no thank you and got our image okay
perfect and you can see there's lots of
other designs as well this is quite a
good one like hanging in the gallery
painting uh I quite like that as well
and if you see how it just jumps in when
you click on it and you can also have
completely random ones like this kind of
graffiti style one and and I love it
because on the right hand side it just
gives you loads of different designs
whatever you fancy here's one this is a
cool one where it's like on a garage
door or a mural looks pretty good so
let's just go back I'm just going
zedding back to the beginning okay
here's the design again and let's just
try importing another image here I'm
just going to click on that and then
let's just crop that move it around a
little bit you can only scale within the
Realms of the Border itself but look you
can move that around quite easily and
that also looks pretty good I quite like
that too let's just stretch that down
below as well to fill the
area and I'm just going to download that
image as well and you can download as
many as you want it seems to be very
easy to do that let's just scroll down
on the right pick a few more designs
have a look at what they look like you
can see every time you move it it's
changing that Center piece again I like
this one a lot this builds up from the
beginning so you've got your black and
white images and then it goes into full
color I pretty much like that so let's
just choose that one and just re
re-centralize that again and just nudge
this down like we've done before okay
that's pretty cool I like it a lot good
stuff let's change the central text so
you can change any typeface or any
design you want you can pick from
different colors let's just change this
one to to a purple color and I like that
it matches the Microsoft designer so
let's just download that I like that too
and I've already got my key image from
before
um so I'm just going to put that back on
now and this is the one I want to just
use I'm going to now take my logo and
just pop that in here and just crop that
I'll take off the bottom piece where it
says entrepreneur consultant I just want
the Chris plant for this particular
piece so I'm just going to position that
now nicely in the center and let's just
turn that slightly or we'll replace that
as well now well actually what we'll do
let's click on effects now and we can
come in here and we can just arrange the
effects and let's put the brightness
right up and that will change it to
White so you can actually read the text
now and we'll just scale it into the
right place and pop in to the corner
there that's great so we've got design
with AI with Microsoft designer by Chris
plant so I like that that's going to be
good for our Instagram image today
perfect so let's just download that
and then here we go let's just load the
image that we just saved and have a play
and you can see exactly how that goes
and there you go you've just made your
Instagram cover and I'm going to use
