I'm not an artist. Along with my lack of a singing voice, my inability to draw has always frustrated me.
So how do I create nice "pinnable" images for blog posts when I have no inherent artistic ability?
Here are my 3 tricks...
Look and Learn
I'm constantly watching, learning and being inspired by other images on Pinterest and other blogs.
It's
important not to copy someone else, but you can still notice what works and what doesn't.
One of the easiest ways to see good examples and try out your own ideas is with canva.com.
Canva still has some bugs and there are some features (such as resizing images)
that I'd like to see added or changed, but it is overall a phenomenal tool.
Use the layouts and the text frames to give yourself a starting point and work from there.
In the example below, I've simply taken a stock photo, added one of canva's predesigned text frames and then changed the color of
that frame to a blue color that matches the girl's shirt.
