Let's Build That Featured Image.

In the last page I introduced the tool, picfont.com, and some easy features, now we are going to make it work a little bit.

I will assume you are doing the boot camp and you are writing an article about affiliate marketing.

I will head to Pexels.com and Choose a "work from home picture"

BTW: You can find free HQ stock images on Pexels.com

I choose the picture below because I like the mess and I like the energy.

So let's get started.

So, before I go into details, I will show you the final result first, then I will explain what I did.

That's what we actually need, not too sophisticated, sober, simple and not flashy. Lol redundant.

At least after some trials, that's the one I came up with and I like it.

I don't know if you have the same taste as I do, but I believe we want similar things for our websites.

What Did I do to get this result?

Step One: Create the Frame.
You go to the poster/postcard icon and choose the one you like. But for this example, I have chosen the one that surrounds the whole picture.
BTW: I can't the image related to this one, I believe you understand and you can easily guess which icon I am using for the frame.
tips:

• Choose the color that fits the colors of your chosen picture, in this case, I have chosen this one because I found it pretty similar and related to natural manufactures.
• When resizing the frame don't make it too thick, this one is a 5.
• Step Two: Create The Banner

Now that you have put the frame around the picture, it's time to take care of the banner.

1.You click onthe Black Cercle Icon (Shapes) And select the floating banner, the one I used is better than the others.

2. Resize it to fit in the picture, I prefer to make it big enough to cover the whole picture without disturbing it.

3.At the bottom, you'll see the option transparency, by default it says no. But you want it to be transparent, don't make it too transparent though. 50% is great

Step Three: Write inside the Banner.

In order to have the same writing that I have, you have to click on the "T" icon which stands for "Text Models". As I said previously, You want something clear, readable and simple. And of course, it has to fit your personality and your Blog. It can be a plus.

• After that all you have to do is make it a little bit transparent as well, it is too opac and we want it less aggressive. But as the Banner is already 50% transparent, I suggest you make the writing's transparency at a higher percentage. 70% is good.

• Center it inside the banner and that's it. It's done.

Final Step: Creating the #NicheResearch:
Now that you have understood the process, I won't go into too much detail, for this one the original text wasBlue and it was written #design as a text. It was surrounded by a blue frame which for me is unecessary, at least for this picture.
All you have to do now, is to place it where you want, change the color, the text and make the blue frame transparent, we want it to be invisible, 90% is great.
That's it and I hope you li
