YouTube One Channel Art Template 2013 (for GIMP)

YouTube is bringing out new channel design in 2013, YouTube One Channel. With the new channel design comes a new kind of channel art (or banner if you will), and for the new channel art, we need a new template.

The new One Channel design will be turned ON on all channels June 5th 2013. In order to not get caught off-guard, it's time to get prepared now.

YouTube's Channel Art guidelines were clear, showing the channel art specs, but due to lack of layers and being the wrong size, their template didn't really help when creating the cover art.

I created a YouTube channel art template with layers for GIMP to help see the different view areas when creating the image. Feel free to use it.

In case you don't know that GIMP is, think "free PhotoShop" and you're close enough. Freely distributed, very powerful image editor. I use it to all my image editing and creation needs, like YouTube thumbnails, backgrounds, etc.

YouTube One Channel Art Template 2013

For optimal results on all devices YouTube recommends uploading a single 2560 X 1440 px image that has been optimized to fit the below template.

With this template, you can use the different layers as overlays to see the visible space on different screen sizes and create your channel art accordingly.

Updates

2013-May-07: Added the new 2560x1440 template. (Old template was 2120x1192, but then YouTube changed their recommendation to 2560x1440)

Did you find this template useful? I'd love to hear about it, so leave a comment below. And feel free to share this page with others who might find the template useful!

Secret Message in Cyberpunk 2077 Teaser Trailer: The Witcher 3 Announced on Feb 5th

CD Projekt RED published Cyberpunk 2077 Teaser Trailer today Jan 10th, 2013.
IGN did a nice analysis on it.

Absolutely fantastic trailer. Amazing in fact.

I'm excited about Cyberpunk 2077. But it'll be a while before it comes out. They say it on the video, they just hid it really well.

And that brings me to the things that gets me more excited...

In the "hidden text" at ~ 2:14 (screenshot below, click for full size):

"And that's not all that's new. We are about to reveal our other project, which is much closer to being completed and yes, it will also be a fully open-world game with an intense story. You can probably guess the game we're talking about. On the 5th of February it will all be clear"

...

Let's look at that again:
"You can probably guess the game we're talking about."

...

The Witcher 3, right?

"Which is much closer to being completed"

I don't about you, but I love CD Projekt RED. I really do. I wasn't sure before, but with The Witcher, GOG.com and stuff like this... Best game developer. Period.

EDIT: Sure enough, it's now confirmed. The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is coming:
