Pixlr tutorial: add text to image: How to make an author logo for an author Facebook page cover photo

26 March, 2014 by ES Ivy

This is a continuation of the Pixlr tutorial on how to make a Facebook page cover photo for your author page in Pixlr with a Pixlr template.

If you’re using this as a Pixlr tutorial, in this post we’re going to cover opening a blank image or opening a new image window, adding text to an image using the type tool (I keep calling it the text tool), changing the text font and font size in Pixlr, and working with image layers.

In this post, I’m going to show you how to make an author logo. Basically it’s your name written in a fancy style, with a tagline if you want one. For me, that’s “ES Ivy,” and I’ll add the tagline “children’s author.” (I tried to come up with something catchier, but I haven’t been able to decide on anything.)…

Pixlr tutorial: How to make an author Facebook page cover photo

25 March, 2014 by ES Ivy

If you’re using this as a Pixlr tutorial, we’ll be using Pixlr for free photo editing. In this post you will learn how to open an image from a web URL in Pixlr, how to undo in Pixlr, and I’ll introduce layers in Pixlr and image size in Pixlr (in other words, on images, what does 200 x 200 mean? What are pixels?).

I will assume that you know nothing about using Pixlr for on-line free photo editing. I only started using it a few months ago, so I really know what it’s like to know nothing. 🙂 Fortunately, I have a little Photoshop in my distant past and a resident Photoshop whiz, TechnoTim, for consulting.

In this series of posts, I’m going to show you step-by-step how to create a stunning cover photo using Pixlr for free online photo editing. I’ll even provide a free Pixlr Facebook page cover photo template for Pixlr to make it easier!…
