Using PicMonkey to Create Banners for Teacher Pages
Go to PicMonkey website: www.picmonkey.com
Move your curser over “Collage” and then down to “Computer”
Now it is Dme to select your images! You can select one or mulDple images at this stage. Don’t worry, if you decide you need more later you can add more without starDng over.
You will see your images pop up into the photos window.
There are four tabs in PicMonkey at this stage:
Photos-‐ This is where your photos will be uploaded for you to use
Layouts-‐ This is where you can select the layout you would like to use. You can select basic format as well as the number of images in the layout (the "facebook cover" layout options work well with your Teacher Pages)
Swatches-‐ This is where there are color/paOern opDons for your layouts
Background – This is where you can edit the color of your background, shape of your pictures and the spacingbetween images in your layout

*If you aren't starting with pictures, just click "collage" to start with a blank layout.
To make the banner select the Layout tab and FB Cover You can select any of the layouts in FB Cover based on how many images that you would like in your Banner. You will be able to edit them later. Once you have selected a layout you will be able to drag and drop images into the blocks. If there is a block that is not needed, to delete the block, click the X in the upper right corner of the clock. If you want to add text to your banner, be sure to leave one of the blocks open. This is an example with one block open for text to be added in the editor later. To change the color of the background, spacing between images
and corners of the images use the “background” tab.
If you want just images and no border around the images move spacing to the far leW.
***Before you click either, be sure that the banner is exactly how you like it,
you will not be able to edit once you click save or export**
Once in the Editor you can add text, frames, themes, and more. Some of these are part of the paid version (but many are FREE) You can edit the size of your text,
color, and size.
Once you have your pictures, background and the banner sized you are ready to SAVE or Export to Editor (to add text).
"Save" will save the banner as is. "Export to Editor" will allow you to add texts, and other enhancements to the banner.
When you are ready to save. Click
Name your file and choose the file quality (pierce & sean work best).
