Task 2

You must use Photoshop to create a YouTube Banner.  The YouTube banner must communicate a message about you.  It needs to relate to you, or express something about your personality.  You must use a combination of colour, images and text.

The YouTube banner template can be found here

Open the banner template in Photoshop.  You are then going to create a new document that is 2560 x 424 pixels large.  Create your banner on that new document.  When you are complete, copy the final banner onto the template as a new layer and position it on top of the "Desktop Max" area.  Unlock the background layer (double click on the lock in the layers panel) and then delete the template layer.
