In this video we will see some Canva tips and tricks that are amazingly useful to
improve your designs and creations. You won't need Canva Pro to do these tricks
and they will work with the free version itself. I have not included the obvious ones like copy,
paste, and delete options that are easily visible on the screen as many might already know about
them. So watch till the end of this video to find out some incredibly cool canva tips and tricks.
Number 7 - Finding brand logos easily. With this method, you can easily find
brand logos within Canva itself instead of finding it elsewhere on the internet.
Click on more and then on Brandfetch to connect this app to your Canva. Next you
can find any brand's latest logos here to include in your designs.
What if you don't find what you are looking for? Let's say I wanted IKEA logo. And here's what
you can do: type its URL - the website's domain name, and you will get its logo. Now, sometimes
we may not even find it under the elements, but brandfetch will definitely fetch it for us.
Number 6 - Get more Free elements in the free version of Canva.
You may find a mix of free and Pro elements when you search within Canva. Here's how to find only
the free elements easily. For this example, let's say I want to find elements related to
video camera. Here I found both the free and the pro elements. Now, go to any free element and
click on these 3 dots, and click on 'See more like this' to find just the free elements for
video camera. I can keep doing that same search method to find a lot more free elements.
If you want to download everything you are seeing in this video plus 50 more ideas and techniques,
you can check out the guidebook I created that's available in my Gumroad shop for
a small price. When you purchase it now you also get all its future updates for lifetime.
It took me a long time to create that guidebook and I hope
you'll grab a copy so it gets an opportunity to serve you in your creative work with Canva.
Number 5: Embed design in your websites or blog posts:
We can use Canva to host and embed the graphics within your blog posts. After designing your
image, just go to this menu, search for embed, click on it, and then click on the embed button.
Grab this html code and paste wherever you want the design to appear. Even if you make any further
changes to your designs in Canva, the changes will reflect on your blog post automatically.
I made a separate tutorial on how to do this, so you can watch it over here.
Number 4: Embed media content in your design:
Click on More, and then click on Embeds, and you'll find dozens of options to embed
directly from say, an interactive TED video, a Spotify track, Google Maps, Instagram profiles,
and much more. Now, combine this trick with the previous one to embed it on your site
and you'll have an interactive design for your blog visitors - ALL hosted on Canva for free.
Number 3: Search and add emojis to your
creatives. What cannot be communicated in text can sometimes be easily shown using emojis. The best
part is that most of them can even change colors so you could match them to your brand colors.
Number 2: Adding a white outline to your image
This one is popular among the youtubers and their thumbnail designs.
Here's how to do that. After importing your transparent image, click on your image and
go to Effects. Then click on 'Glow' under the Shadows. Click again to control the variations for
blur, transparency and size. Change the color to whatever you want, and make the blur zero,
and then transparency to its fullest. Finally, increase the size to your liking.
Number 1: Create comic books - did you
know that you could create a complete comic book within Canva?! Just search for "comic strip" on
your Canva home page, and get going with their free templates, callout boxes, illustrations,
and expressions. I made a dedicated video on how to design your next comic strip book in Canva,
watch it now by clicking on this card. These links are also given in the video description.
