What is Tailwind Create
Tailwind Create is a design tool that allows you to completely transform your images into multiple variations and custom designs. The quality of designs is like having your own graphic artist working right by your side.
Have you tried overhauling old images using other services out there? I have and I’m not complaining about the software or ease of use but in the amount of time it would normally take me to create one image using another service, I could easily create TWENTY fresh images using the Tailwind Create tool!! I don’t know about you but with running my own business, time has become my most valuable commodity.
The Paintbrush
The Tailwind Create icon is the paintbrush on the left side of your Tailwind dashboard. It offers you to input your website or brand name, fonts, colors and logo. After entering this information, it will be saved for you to use.
To begin a new design, click on the Let’s Get Started button. Either upload one or more photos or enter in a web URL, which will pull the photos straight from the site. Entering in the URL is a HUGE time saver!! However, you can of course manually upload photos one by one.
Start from almost DONE with Tailwind Create
Once you have uploaded and “checked” the photos you want to use to create your new designs, click the Create Images button. There is no starting from scratch here! An array of high-quality, almost DONE designed images will appear on the page in seconds and will be ready to post in just a few clicks. Scroll through and select your favorite designs by hovering over the top left corner and marking the heart icon to place in your “favorites”.
I definitely recommend uploading more than one photo. The Tailwind Create tool will provide you with individual images of each photo and will also combine the images together, transforming them into professional designs.
Edit and Restyle
Each separate image has its own edit and re-style button that allows you to change the photo, font, logo, color palette and title. Easily reposition photos and zoom in or out to customize the design. You can also click on the “right-arrow” at the top of the image. It will customize the design for either Pinterest, Instagram feed post or story!!
Once you have finished adjusting each design, click the select button which will move your customized image directly into the Review Your Selection area.
When you are happy with all of your new design selections, click the Go Schedule button. The designs will automatically be sent to the Drafts section of your Dashboard.
While you are in the Drafts section, you can customize the date and time for the pin/post. Choose as many boards (categories) as you would like your photo to be Pinned in. For instance, I have a low carb and gluten free recipe site, so if I make a cake, I will select “desserts”, “gluten free”, “cakes” and “low carb” Boards. After customizing your images boards, date and time make sure to press the schedule button.
All Your Creations at Your Fingertips
All of the designs you have created will be available to view on the bottom of the Tailwind Create page or under RECENT DESIGNS tab. The BEST part… they are all OPTIMIZED for Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook!! You can access them at any time and continue designing under the COMPLETED SESSIONS area.
If you have started and not completed choosing or re-designing your new images, they will be available anytime under PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF.
The designs are available to download to your computer as well. Downloading images will count toward your monthly usage. In the upper right corner of the Tailwind Create page is a bar under YOUR PLAN INFORMATION that reflects how many images you have created and/or downloaded toward your monthly usage.
Instant posting to Instagram and Facebook
To access your Instagram account, click on your personal gravatar with the Pinterest logo in the bottom right-hand corner. It will switch you straight over to your Instagram account which will now have the IG camera logo in the bottom right-hand corner of your gravatar.
Here you will find the same Create dashboard as we just left and you can go ahead and set up your logo, brand colors and fonts. Upload images or enter a URL and off you go; identical to the Pinterest account. Select the newly designed photos you love and add any edits you may want to incorporate, press the SELECT button for each image, then the REVIEW button and lastly the GO SCHEDULE button to instantly post to Instagram.
Don’t forget there are POST TYPES, PHOTO COUNTS AND CATEGORIES buttons at the top of the page for ultimate optimization of your photos for the Instagram feed.
Instant posting to Facebook will be available soon!
