Hey guys. My name's Josh. I'm a new to youtube, however I'm pretty seasoned in terms of making graphics - especially channel art...

I even draw pictures and create digital illustrations. I'm also pretty experienced when it comes to traditional medium too - check out some of my doodles @joshzor on instagram if you want.

Now. I'm not offering to physically create any artwork for you - however - I'm more than happy to help you understand the principals of graphic design by offering help on the forum wherever I can In the event you want to know something to do with graphic design or channel art - go ahead and reply to this thread. So in the event you need the name of softwares, software alternatives, quick help on photoshop etc. Please do ask me anything

Have a great day
- Josh

That's a generous offer. I might take you up on it, but just today a volunteer at the animal shelter (I run a channel for the animal shelter) offered to work on channel art. I'll see what she comes up with.

Hey man - I found this image here - It breaks down the dimensions of youtube channel art... This should fit snuggly on your channel at a full HD resolution. You can check out the art on my channel if you'd like some ideas. I'd recommend keeping your channel art simple - it's easier to make a more professional looking banner.
- Hope it helped...
(( If ya need to know anything else, anything regarding software etc. I'd be happy to help you out with that ))

How big should my channel art be? I can make my own channel art I just need to know what size the banner should be.

Hey Tod
The minimum for a desktop banner, should be 1546x423 pixels - but If you're looking at something like a tv, it should be 2560x1440 pixels. If you need it, here's a template that you can follow:

Hope it helped

Hey man, is it possible if you could make a channel art for me? I need to revamp it as it looks badly photoshopped
