Need to create content for multiple social media platforms? In this GIMP tutorial, I show you an easy step-by-step process for quickly creating content for multiple platforms – or simply multiple composition sizes/dimensions – using a simple trick. The GIMP feature in this tutorial will dramatically cut the time it takes you to use the same photos and graphic design assets across multiple templates.
Quit pulling your hair out designing the same thing for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, etc.! I show you how to design your own templates, as well as how to prepare your assets, place those assets in your design, and save and export your final designs.
