In this video i'm gonna show you how i created this design viva mexico all in canva for free
using canva components i'm gonna show you the tips and tricks that i've used to do this
so that you can make something similar for yourself on canva. Let's go!!
Thanks for joining me on this video my name is Juna with Detour Shirts. I've been designing
and selling t-shirts online since 2005 and i want to share my experiences with you
i created this design viva mexico and shared it on social media
and a lot of you wanted to learn how to make it i made it in canva for free i'm going to show you
how i did that some of the tips and tricks that go along with doing something like this as well
and all of this can be done for free there's lots of different places that you can do graphics and
find graphics for t-shirt designs or print on demand designs if you're doing that canva is
a great resource i'm going to show you exactly how i do it you can follow along step by step
and then use these tips to do something similar to something that fits your style you can do it
with lots of different graphics i'm going to use the graphics in this video but of course there's
thousands millions of graphics on there that you can use some of these same techniques on and
create something totally different you can create a lot of things that are totally different so
hopefully stay to the end of this video see how it comes out and use these tips and tricks that i'm
going to share with you let's get into canva right now all right so here we are on canva.com you can
see and just canva.com i'm using the free account you can see right here all you need to do if you
don't have this or if you've never used canva before just sign up it just takes an email
and that's it it doesn't charge your account or anything this is totally free it's
which is amazing that all of this is for free so the first thing you're going to want to do is go
to here create a design and go to custom size i like to make mine 4500 by 5400 for a t-shirt
if you're going to do print on demand this is the size that you want you want it at least 4 500 wide
you can make it bigger if you want but that's what i'm going to use right here and click it and you
can see nice artboard right here this is the size you're going to want to fill okay so first things
first the best thing to do on canva is to find a good graphic on camera and there's a lot of good
ones on there and when you find them i would heart them star them whatever it is i think it's a star
actually we'll find it right now so first we go and find one this one that i found it was hard
to find and i'm going to show you how to find it it's sombrero i was looking up a different cinco
de mayo stuff so sombrero like that type it in you can see there's a ton of sombreros go to graphics
right there and you wouldn't have known this and i didn't know this but as i scrolled down you can
see a lot of these are for pro actually too so if you want the pro account you can make so many more
stuff with the pro account go ahead and do that it's it's really good if you if you're planning
on making a lot of designs like i do i honestly probably should get a pro account as many designs
as i've made but anyway let's go down here and see this right here look at that graphic isn't that
cool it's so cool so i clicked on this and you can see let's do a black background so click on
the artboard and then click on the color and then do black you can see it's kind of got this neon
kind of colors right which is pretty cool so let's go in here and then cc all so click on
see all right here and look at all of these so cool i kind of found this by accident but then
i made a design with it so i don't want the circle you could use the circle and i think it would be
really cool one of the techniques that i'm going to show you is to use the crop tool so the easy
way to do the crop tool let's say we want to crop this one we're going to double click and do this
lift it up now if i was going to crop this i would crop this out like that and do it
and then you know maybe make a copy and double click it and do the bottom part wouldn't this
be cool i just thought of this now but crop out the bottom part like that something like that
you know and then put something in the middle you can put you know viva mexico here in the middle or
something like that that would be a cool way to do it but what i did in mine that i showed online is
i did one of these i think it was this one yeah was this one and i just made it the full size
right there i think it was that one let's see what else is there there's that one there's so many of
these i can't remember this one i believe i put this one at the bottom so let's put that there and
let's see no it was this one you could use either one but look at all these they're so cool
so i used this one yeah but this one would work as well so let's let's remove that one let's put
this one at the top here full length perfect so we're halfway there got this so the next thing
i did was i needed these dots to continue to go down like that guess what i did i went down here
scrolled this double clicked on it and cropped it just cropped the dots right and up like this
so now all you have are these dots so you can put the dots right here like a continuation of it
and then do another one you know this one whoops let me move this out double click on it and then
pull this down so you only need a few more dots on the bottom let's do that i think right there
look at that now i got my border to go all the way down
and doesn't have to be a full thing we could put this here like that and move this over here cool
now we got that frame let's see what else we can put in here let's put in viva mexico first so
let's do a type just click t on here the letter t and you're gonna see there's this paragraph that's
text t for text that's an easy way to remember it and then just type in viva first and we're going
to use the font called rye r-y-e i talked about it in my other video it's a great font for cinco de
mayo so you can see i've used it before right here right or you can just type in right here
and you can do upper lower case but i did mine the one that i did was all uppercase so hit caps lock
viva or you could have just done this upper lowercase thing all right and
viva and mexico let's do like that and we can stretch these across the bottom
mexico
like that all right so the next thing we got to do is kind of fill this white space and what
could we do there so let's look on here for other things that we can add so i believe i
added one of these down here let's see uh probably this one let's click that
and make it bigger yeah you see those maracas on there let's uh double click this
and kind of isolate that part so you can see what i'm doing is i'm just using that part
double click out and make it bigger and we can double click again if you don't if you want to
take out some of that right there i think that works and maybe even go up let's see nope
let's see how that works hey that's not bad so we'll fit that right there
and then another trick to do is copy this and flip it so go here flip flip horizontal
and you know kind of make it go out like that make this one come out here and viva
now we can do the same thing with other things in here let's say we want to put this right here
in there so we just double click on it
and then come in and just isolate that part so that little flower
that we want then click out move we'll move this over here like that and then move this back here
and again we can do the same thing do this hold down option and drag and it's the same one here
so one last thing that you can do here to kind of just make this put it all together is i'm gonna
move this up just so we can fill in the space so move this up like that and we can move this guy up
but what we need to do is change this so double click on here you know
maybe up to the three right there and do the same on the other side double click
and up two three right there and let's see if that helps oh we can probably just do two okay sorry
do it again up to two right there same see this cropping tool really helps
oops don't size it you wanna double click on it and then move it all right so now we move this up
and then make sure this is sized correctly so we move that till there move this like that and we
can still move this guy here and this guy here and kind of size it to make it make it work so
like that there we go put that up there okay and since this is white and there's no other white in
the design we can come in here and maybe change some of these things to white so let's see what
it looks like if we change some colors to white so you can see i can check any of these colors
if i change this one to white let's look at it no i don't like that then you can hit
undo undo it command z come back click this color click that no that's too much i just want a little
bit of white so undo uh maybe this color here yeah that's not bad that's those dots let's see
undo let's try the other light blue oh that's too much last one let's see if this one is a good
yeah i like that one so you can see i changed that color to white and there's some white on
that let's see if i can change some of this to white so same thing i'm going to go in here maybe
check that dark color to white yeah that could work let's do undo and then check all the colors
no i don't like that one that one's not bad maybe that one's too white let's see this last one
oh no i don't like that one so maybe this this one to white just to give it a little white and
then we can make this white as well so this color was this right here make that white
and of course you don't have to make it white you can do whatever color you want
pick different colors if you want you can change the color entirely in fact
if you want to change all of it let's do this i think this color is great by the way but if you
want to change all the colors one of the things i like to do is go to styles hit colors this one
that's weird but it does change all the colors so you can see some of these colors aren't the best
but it's fun to try and see if you can if there's a color that that works um probably not as good as
that so there you go that's my design i'm gonna put viva in the front just so it blocks out some
of this stuff move that to the front and there you go nice viva mexico design that i shared online
in my social media posts you can do any of these other ones remember in the elements just go and
pick any of these other ones too block it out use that crop tool that's a real nice time saver
and then when you are in here you can change the color so whatever color you want pick that you can
make it totally different um doing it this way by mixing and matching all of this stuff you make it
your own style so nobody will have this it's very different and of course you can use a different
font i use dry here you can use other fonts and you can even change the color of the font
maybe you want this the same color as that real easy to do right you come in here and pick that
color to kind of match it so and you can make these if you didn't know you can make each of
these a different color so if you want to come in here and go and change it kind of more of a
you know different color maybe this one is white maybe something like that that kind of gives it
a fun feel right to use all the colors in here so have fun with this lots of different ways
that you can do this and make it your own of course by using the different things here and
canvas is such a cool thing to do so thanks so much for watching this video hopefully it was
