So Canva had their Canva Create event recently and unveiled a whole bunch of
new features. In this video I'm going to share with you five of those that
I think are very important and that you can use for print on demand. Let's go!!
Hey everyone, it's Juna with Detour Shirts. In this video I'm going to talk about Canva
and some of the new features that Canva came up with. Now I'm not going to go over all the
different features. I'm going to show you where to find those but in this one I'm going to pick
out five that I think are really important to print on demand and I'm going to share them
with you. I'm going to show you how to use them in canvas so that you can use them and you can go
and try them out on your own so let's not waste any time and get into canva right now and I'll
show you what they are all right so here we are on canva canva.com and you can see they added a
little magic to here just because they their canva create is all about magic and making things happen
you can see a bunch of new features right here on the top discover the magic from canva crate
you can also watch the whole thing so if you click on here watch the event um you can watch
the highlights right here you can watch the full thing and they kind of give you step by step on
what some of these things are so we're going to go through some of these but if you want to go
through your own and watch these or or play with these you can I'm not going to touch on all of
them it would take a long time to to go through all of them but I did find five that I really
like so let's go back here to canva so I'm going to open up this project here we're going to start
with gradients and that's a really cool feature so the first one I wanted to talk about is gradients
and so gradients are kind of limited right now so let me show you what it does so gradients they're
pre-canned gradients right now so if you click on a shape you can come in here and there are some
gradient colors so let's try them out so you can see here you can change them to different colors
I just put the camera logo in there you don't have to but I thought it was fun to try the canva logo
in there you can also do it on backgrounds so come here I'm clicking the background which is white
I can change the background colors too the nice thing about the the shapes is that you can turn
the shapes right so if you don't want your gradient that way you can do it this way and
that way in whatever way and you can also change the shape so if I wanted this to be a different
shape I come here to my shapes and it can be a circle or this shape or this shape or whatever
shape you want it to be now in the tutorial in the conference they said you can come in here and
make your own ingredients I wasn't able to find that yet I believe it's going to be in the brand
Hub and I haven't been able to do the colors if you know where to do that maybe I'm not looking
in the right place let me know in the comments button for right now these are your gradients
and how would you use it in print on demand well I would not do the background color gradient but
these would make some really cool stickers right and you put a silhouette over it or something like
that I think it could be really good for stickers as well as like if you had another shape here
and then did did a different shape let's do come in here
and this could be some kind of retro thing right maybe that's this is a line instead of
um solid right so you can see how I'm doing some kind of like 80s retro stuff with gradient
and things like that so I think gradients could really help again when you start to create your
own gradients I think that would be really cool as well as when you can add these to other stuff
so right now it's just shapes and backgrounds but can you imagine adding it to Silhouettes and
other things uh or combining stuff and making the whole thing a grading like I showed in some of my
tutorials I think this is the start to something really powerful so I wanted to share it and that
is gradients so the next one I wanted to talk to you about is layers now I think canva should have
had layers a long time ago I'm glad they have it other application graphic applications have
layers if you go to Affinity designer Kittle photo P they all have layers canva didn't have it and so
it was really hard to figure out what was above each other where to put each other and kind of
you could move back and move front but you really didn't know and if you had a bunch of layers you
didn't know where they were so here's how you use layers you can see I have a these different things
here I can see that is in the back and that is in the back so red blue yellow like that right but
let's say they're on top of each other like this and you you want to grab that one and sometimes
it's really hard especially if it's not a clear shape well you can come in here and do position
so now along with a range which we already had these kinds of things we can go to layers this
is new so now because they're all together you can move them up so or move them down layers
right here is the very top and this is the background but if I wanted to move this above
you can see it does it right there if this one right here wants to go above it you can do it
right there what this is this overlapping one is because they're all overlapping they're on here
but let's say you only have two here and you you can't pick the one on the bottom like they cover
each other right you wanted to get that I wanted to get that one but you can see I can't the before
layers there wasn't a really good way to pick that square because when I tried to pick it I'm
actually picking that but here with overlapping you can see oh it's overlapping I can just move it
right so really nice and you may not know that something's behind that's another good thing for
overlapping you can if it's totally covering it and you didn't know it was there and you click on
it you can see well there's actually something behind it right so so I think this is really
powerful especially and I mean I did it really simple here but if you have a complex project
that has multiple layers 20 layers 10 layers um and you have a hard time trying to pick something
really small in it you can go here to overlapping or to all and just move things around in this
space so very cool I think this will help a lot for people who are designing especially t-shirts
when there's a lot of layers on your design so probably one of the biggest improvements one of
the most asked for features in canva and so I'm glad we that we have it now and that is layers
so the next thing I wanted to talk to you about is Magic Eraser so this one's pretty cool it only
works on a photo so you can click on here and you can see if it says edit photo then you can use it
it doesn't work on Graphics or shapes or anything like that it has to be a photo so here's what it
does let's say you have a photo but you don't want this butterfly here it's sticking out it
you know it's not symmetrical you just want to get rid of it well before you couldn't get rid of it
you'd have to color it or something like that but it was Magic Eraser you can so the way to use the
Magic Eraser is to come in here hit edit photo and you can see you have magic eraser and Magic edit
I'm not going to do magic edit yet but I will do Magic Eraser I'll click on here and we're going to
make it a little smaller so you can see and I'm just gonna like brush over this butterfly here
and then hit edit photo but oh it's just thinking I don't think I have to do anything and then it's
gone right so and then I go back so now that I'm back you can see the butterfly is gone
totally erase and so it works on different things so if you wanted to get rid of his
ears for example you could it doesn't work like very well like if I wanted to get rid of this
flower my week maybe we could try it let's see what kind of results we have so let's go back
edit photo let's say we wanted to get rid of just this flower let's see how good it is
not bad not bad it's trying to clone it here you can see um maybe if I do it again let's try that
no I think I freaked it out no I did it wow look at that I brushed that flower away that's pretty
cool so I come back in here still transparent you can see but we we took that flower away and
took that butterfly away with the Magic Eraser so it it kind of knows the background and then
fills in you know if it's a transparent background it'll keep it transparent if it has a color in the
background then it knows to fill that color with the right color to make it go away so you probably
could take away the dots on here if you wanted to take away his ears or whatever it is so have fun
with this one this one is really cool to kind of change up your photos that you're using for
t-shirts or whatever print on demand products and I think this can be really powerful um try
it out I think sometimes it works really well and sometimes it doesn't but in this two cases you can
see it worked really well you can't even tell the flower was there and the Butterfly was there so
pretty cool magic eraser all right so this one is I'm really excited about for Kawaii design so this
one is called translate so you can automatically translate words to different languages in this
case I'm going to do Japanese but you can do any language let's do this right now I'm going to
click on mushroom well first let me show you where to find it you should see it here but if you don't
you're gonna need to add it so I added it here to translate if you have some other ones like apps
come in here and go into Apps and you may find it here and then add it to there so I already added
translate you can see a bunch of cool cool stuff here on apps so I'm going to do Translate I'm
going to click on this I'm going to automatically detect um well it's automatically detecting that
it's English I believe so I'm gonna you could also put that it's English so let me do that
so English to Japanese
boom and it's going to translate everything on this page page four so I can't individually do
it so it's going to translate translate and translate mushroom but I get to pick a page
right here so page four that's what we're on page four and hit Translate
now it's going to take a little while well not that long and then you can see that's
in Japanese that's in Japanese now I can come in here and then if I don't like this one I can use
a different font there are some Japanese fonts so if I just type in here Japanese
you know I could pick any one of these and they'll look good but maybe I want something a little
bigger and thicker I could do that right and then I can size it of course it's all text still
and then I can change it so I would I'm going to get rid of this translate here
and and then put this here I'm gonna put effects on it maybe do a pink and then
you know maybe my thickness is like that or maybe it's that pink right there and then or see yeah
that Pink's fine or we could change it to whatever to color it right pretty cool and then we can
change the inside so let's maybe do that there you go so now I have my Kawaii design with Japanese
text that says mushroom because it translated it and I can take this and print this as a print on
demand Kawaii design so very very cool I don't have to go to Google Translate anymore and do
it I can do it right into canva and create all my designs like this so that would be really good for
the different markets too so if you have a design that you made here in English you can translate
it to German French any of those other markets on Amazon too and and upload it there so really cool
feature on canva I hope to use this a lot for all the different markets so one more thing to note
on this translate is it actually made a separate one so you can see here I have the English version
and it didn't get rid of it it made a different page page five in the Japanese version so when
you're doing your translate for the different marketplaces on Amazon you'll just have different
um pages that it will make and then you can download all of them at once with all transparent
backgrounds and so really cool to scale stuff so the last feature I wanted to talk about is Magic
right I'm gonna have to move myself from here because the the thing for it here is underneath
so I'm going to get under here so this is Magic right or at least helps you with magic right so
the way I'm going to use this this is kind of like a AI like a chat GPT it's going to help you write
something so these I have some phrases here it can help you write descriptions it can help you
write bullet points or whatever you need it I'm gonna use it to help me come up with a
phrase for my t-shirt so let's do this I I wrote some prompts in here just so I can remember what
to put in here so we're going to do magic right and we're gonna do oh we're gonna click on here
first click on this first then hit magic right sorry jumping ahead edit with magic right yes
so I'm going to edit funny funny Easter saying I'm gonna give it a prompt so I'm going to say a funny
Easter thing with uh three to five words so on a t-shirt so I'm going to hit enter and look I
could put this on my t-shirt exciting Easter puns maybe that's not the best one because I don't
want to use puns but I could say exciting Easter right so this could this could work for a t-shirt
really cool so if you're out of ideas maybe you want to do a summer vacation so let's do that
um summer vacation phrase for a t-shirt
let's see if it understands that uh um maybe we'd do a small
I like to do words so three two five two to five word summer vacation phrase yeah there we go
Beach bound it's two words yeah really cool how about this Cinco de Mayo pun let's do that
um yeah let me just do without the three to five words and see what happens
oh it's gonna give me a joke so I can come back in here and edit that so let's see see
that's why I do three to five words so um three two five word Cinco de mayapan
May the fiesta begin perfect so I can go and change this anytime I want and this can help you
come up with lots of ideas so um we could actually have it do many ideas if we wanted to so let's do
um a list of 10 three two five um word phrases for Cinco de Mayo
a list of funny
and funny
these are five word phrases yeah or puns let's do puns
let's see what it is there we go look at that I have now I have 10 of them that I could do
now of course you still have to check if these are are trademarked but you can see it just a
brain dump of stuff that you may not be able to think of earlier quickly you can do this
uh just like chat GPT here built in to canva to help you with your um bullet points help
you with brainstorming help you with whatever so have fun using this I think this can really
help speed up what you're designing and then you know use some of these things I wouldn't
even thought of tequila Mockingbird that's pretty cool have a great time so it's some really cool
ones for Cinco de Mayo and then you can find of course find something in here that matches these
so that's my last one magic right but you can see it's super powerful the power of AI kind of
chat GPT stuff built into canva so those are the five features that I picked from the canva event
um pretty cool right let me know in the comments which one was your favorite I think all of those
can really help speed up and help with the print on demand Journey that you guys are
on if you're doing print on demand I think you can help with a lot of stuff so this is really
cool if you want to go back and watch some more of that again you can go watch the full
conference and look there's so many other things but those are my five favorites thanks again for
watching if you want to see another video with canva on how to design in canva click on this
video right here I have a whole bunch of canva design tutorials as well on my channel have fun
with those and as always guys keep creating and keep learning I'll see you on the next one bye
