is to have a cohesive brand across all
creative assets with canva for teams

been easier

understand your brand kit work with all
the exciting features in the editor use

are you ready to get designing
[Music]
the brand tab is the go-to spot for all
things brand related keep in mind that
your view may look different depending
on the permissions set by your admin
designers may have access to make
changes create brand kits and templates
while members may only be able to view
these materials
a brand kit makes it easy to apply your
company branding across your assets
your brand kit may include fonts
colors
and logos
your admin will set up your brand kits
for you to use
to use a brand kit in the editor click
design in the side panel
then click styles
any brand kits connected to your account
will appear in this window
click on your team's brand kit to access
all the brand kits provided for you by
your admin
simply click to apply it to your design
brand templates are another great way to
stay on brand
designers on your team can create these
templates for members to use and ensure
brand consistency let's take a look at
how designers can create brand templates
if you're a Template Designer remember
that this process may look different for
you depending on the designations and
permissions your admin has given you
there are a few ways to get started if
you're starting from a stock template
simply click on styles to transform your
design into a branded masterpiece
shuffle through the different font and
color variations
then drag and drop your logo into your
template
now that your template is on brand let's
group and anchor some elements so
they're easier for your team to adjust
grouping elements together allows you to
easily control the format of your design
for example grouping a heading and
subheading together can be really handy
as can grouping similar elements to
create specific layering
anchoring text helps avoid text and
element overlap angry your text in the
middle of the text box or control
whether it will rise up or drop down
once you're happy with your template
it's time to lock elements you don't
want changed there are three levels of
locking first is partially locked where
elements like text can be edited and
replaced but not moved or deleted
then there's fully locked where elements
can't be altered or deleted
this is great for non-negotiable design
elements like your logo
and finally there is unlocked where
elements have no restrictions they can
be edited moved and deleted so now we
know how to build an unbreakable brand
template how do you share it with your
team
well there's a couple of ways to do this
first Click Share the editor
and find template link under more
a template link can be shared with
anyone in canva
the design won't be saved as a brand
template for your team but new copies of
the design will be created each time the
link is opened if you wish to make the
design a brand template for your team
select the template option under share
foreign
if you've designed a company-wide
template you'd like your whole team to
access save it to the default team
template folder within shared with me
this way your brand template will be
found in your brand tab under brand
templates
if it's a template for a specific
department or campaign you can save it
to the relevant folder
this way only those with access to that
folder will see the brand template
you may need to submit your design for
approval but more on that in another
video
it's time to get down to business and
start designing whether you're a team
member or designer you're experience in
the editor may be different
if you have questions about that reach
out to your admin for clarity
from the canva homepage go to your brand
templates and select the on-brand
template you wish to use
let's start by making a presentation on
the left side of the editor you'll find
the sidebar which consists of tabs
first the design tab here you can access
your team Styles and the various layout
and template options your admin has set
up next the elements tab
canva has a massive library of images
and Graphics you can use just search
what you're looking for
your admin May restrict the types of
elements you can use for a company
design
one amazingly useful element is frames
add a frame to your design then just
drop in an image and watch it snap to
fit the frame perfectly or double-click
to adjust it
the upload tab is where you can upload
files including PDF pptx Adobe
Illustrator or from your computer or
even services like Google drive or
Dropbox
you can also record yourself for a
talking presentation but more on that
later the text tab houses all of your
text options
you will see your brand kit here and
will be able to apply branded text
throughout your presentation
charts are a great way to process and
view data
it's from many canva chart templates
input your data and see as the graphs
adjust to fit your data set
the logos tab is key for Branded content
here you will find all the logo options
from your brand kit
your admin will assign logo permissions
so that every design is cohesive
editing a photo in canva is easy too

presentation select it and look at the
top bar
click edit image to adjust the image and
apply filters

background with canvas background
remover just one click and the
background will totally disappear
