How to create a custom design template
-
Open up a template that takes your liking; since Fall is just around the corner, we opted for this Fall Themed Design:
2. To start customizing your template, go to > Customize Design.
3. First things first, you’re going to want to customize the size of the image or post. You can do that by going to > Aspect Ratio and selecting the format you need.
You can also add your aspect ratio if you need unique sizing.
Not sure what format you need for which social channel? Check this guide.
We went ahead and opted for the Instagram Square.
4. Let’s say you now want to change the background color and icons. To do this, simply go ahead and select the element you want to change the color of like this:
To change its color, you can select > Style > and pick and choose a color you like. We opted for gradient 1.
5. Now, you might want to change the color of all other icons by clicking on them and selecting the same gradient — of course, you can mix and match if you like. But we liked the consistency:
6. Now, add a logo to your post. You can do this by uploading your company logo to > Add image.
7. To remove the logo's background, select it by double-clicking on it and going > Cutout > Transparent.
8. Now, you're going to want to shrink down the logo and pop it into a more subtle spot. To change the size, select the logo element by going to > Elements and selecting the pen icon.
Now, you can drag the corners to adjust the size.
9. Alrighty, now you’re ready and have your customized Instagram post template. This is an incredible baseline to batch-produce content. This type of post can look great on your Instagram feed with different people or models as the main character — you can use this type of post to introduce colleagues or share your team’s favorite activities in the fall in the caption. The sky's the limit when it comes to ideas.
10. Before you start batching content, you’re going to want to hit > Save Design to ensure it doesn’t get lost.
That way, you can use this design time and time again and repurpose it into other posts — we’ll quickly show you how to do that below.
