Hello dear Hive Learners community, I must say that I came to you by a kind invitation from @prayzz two months ago. On that occasion I was invited to participate in the Creative Sunday initiative.
I must say that I found a wonderful community, where I can express myself very freely and express my ideas. It also allows me to show that I have acquired skills and that I am able to share them with other members of the community.
I have even learned new recipes and enjoyed excellent publications.
Today I present my entry in the cover image of the Hive Learners Community, celebrating the fact that the community now has over 5000 active members. Link Here.
I thought of making something simple that condenses what the community is and what it means to all its members, attaching three lines of words that define the reason for Hive Learners' existence.
Here is the result:
First take from the Discord Server, the logo of the community, proceeding to download it to the PC
These images were chosen by me on Pixabay and represent three actions that are the engine of the community: learning, teaching, and demonstrating together our skills, learning many more:

I was tempted to use Paint 3D Software, but to test myself I decided to use Canva a very intuitive online graphic design tool that I hadn't used for about a year.
I took into account that the ideal size should be 1920x245, and to start creating the design I selected the custom size option where I proceeded to adjust the width and height of the image.
Once the desired template was obtained, I started to cut and paste the images that, since they do not have backgrounds, it is not necessary to remove them.
On the left side of the program we find a letter T which when we click on it offers us the text options, in my case I chose Add Text:
I chose the text from the description of the community found on Hive:
I proceeded to change the background of the image by clicking on the option to the left called background, I chose a gray background that reminded me of certain notebooks where I wrote my notes in elementary and high school. There are many options to choose from.
Later I proceed to animate the page in an option that says Zoom Out, when clicking on it we find the option Animate page, there in combinations I chose funny and in Animate Both (when entering and when leaving). These are the options that will apply movement to the image:
At the top of the Canva screen there is a small clock that indicates the time of the transition of images within the project, by default this is 5.0 seconds, clicking on the clock generates a line in which the time is adjusted to more or less seconds, in this case set to 14.0 seconds.
Canvas directly opens three pages and as the proposal is being elaborated in the first one, I choose this one to download it, I go to the top left part of the program where it says file, I click on the option and click on download where I will be asked what type of file I want, in my case I chose Gif and proceeded to download the result in the hard disk of the pc.
This was the result:
This beautiful community has given me a great support since I started in it, and I have been corrected, of course I believe that no one is perfect, nor is free of errors. Here, the most important thing is to share, learn and teach. I really enjoy being here. I hope soon to be a certified member of the community, something that I have not been able to do because of problems with my internet and with the light in general here in my country Venezuela.
For me it is a pleasure and an honor to be able to interact with you. Best of luck to the other participants of this initiative. I hope you all liked my work. Best regards.
I give my consent for the Hive Learners community to use the official cover image that I have designed.
