I use a site called 'PicMonkey' or a free program called 'PhotoScape' to create my banners.

Once you save the banner template from YouTube to your computer go to PicMonkey "Edit" and upload your banner template you've saved. Use overlays (represented by the butterfly symbol in the right panel) and block out the safe areas for text and images. Next go to the effects tab (represented by the wand and sparkles) and scroll down to the "draw" effect to erase the template background and start creating your own in the safe area with whatever colors, pictures and symbols you wants. My advice is to keep it simple and inviting to start. The more familiar you get with picmonkey the fancier you can get. Hope this helps!!!
