user-friendly all right let's get to
this tutorial
hey everyone and welcome to another hog
how to session
today we're looking at the shutter and
splatter effect or some people like to
call it the dispersion effect
it looks really hard to do it's very
popular right now
but actually it is quite easy when you
know the trick
it's easy that is if you want to do it
on a white background if you want to put
it on
a black background like what we usually
do
on t-shirts and other colors it's a
little bit more difficult but i will
walk you through that also a lot of
people are using
the effect to create movement in
sporting type images
photographs that sort of thing to create
that look like
it's just shattered and i think it's a
really good effect and i've even seen it
you
used in food images
so uh today we're going to look at
creating
an exploding sunset or retro sunset
and before i get started a little bonus
tip
i've just realized that canva have a new
curve
plus feature so canva recently added
the ability to be able to curve text so
you put in a line of text you go up here
to effects
and then click on curve and it curves
the text automatically for you
and you can use this little controller
here to make it
wider or fit your fit the curve that
you're trying to
affect you're trying to get now the new
thing the new bonus is
you used to only be able to curve it and
not add any other effects to the text
but now
they're allowing you to add additional
text
additional uh effects so
for example splice is a good one i like
to use
and you can just add
all sorts of effects all the whole range
of effects at the same time as
curving it which is pretty awesome let's
just remove the text for now
and have a look at the
the image that we want to create so
let's get started
over here in the elements box
you're going to want to put in splatter
oh i need to change this i have it on
animated or static we just want
both now one of the really cool things
that i discovered
is this little uh splatter effect here
if you click on that and add it to your
work
you automatically create that aged
effect everybody likes
so let's add that now the next thing you
want to
go to want to do is have a really good
look down at all of these different
splatter effects that they have
and you can use any number of them
but in this instance i'm going to use
this one and at the moment it's in black
which makes it easier to see so you pop
a bit of a splatter effect over here but
actually you're going to want that
in white and then
you're going to copy it
quite a few times and you can rearrange
it
pop it over here sorry this is taking a
minute or two
it's just really quickly put this into
place
and uh you can use any you can use
one splatter effect you can use a number
of different splatter effects you can
have a play around with it see what
works for you
that's a very quick rendition
the next thing you want to do is
add the other splatter effect the
splatter effect again but you're going
to want to colorize it
so you want to put it over the top and
then
you're going to want to choose a color
that's very similar
to what it's what it's going to be on
top of
it's more of a yellow tone gives give
that a bit of a twist
copy it again
and go on all the way around
finding shades that fit in
now here's a little bonus tip for you
let's scroll back
up to where i had this photographed now
this only works with photographs
if you're working on a photograph one of
the cool things
about the way canva works
is if you have a photograph it helps if
you have a look over here
in the photo in the picker area the
color picker area
it gives you the five most
common colors to your photograph so you
can easily pick out colors
that match your image
which is really cool it doesn't work
with um
with anything other than a photograph at
this stage but
for the purposes of this exercise i'm
just
hand i'm just picking the colors by
eye so you go ahead and you go all the
way around
and create the splatter effect
once you've created the splatter effect
you can go on and
put anything on top of that
any uh silhouette like an island theme
or in this instance i've put a tree
and some butterflies just for um
just because i like to look at the of
them
however the problem happens
when you try to make this go on a
t-shirt because if you put a black
background behind this which i've done
here
or it's good it's got white behind it
it's no good so
uh we have to actually um take this
and take the white out of it and the
only way you can currently do this
is to take it out of canva canva doesn't
have the ability to pick
a color and or pick the white out and
remove it
so take your sunset
take it download it over here as a pdf
sorry a png not a pdf
and then bring it into either photoshop
or photopedia they work
very similarly bring it into
your photoshop when it's in photoshop
go over here and use the magic wand tool
click on anywhere where the the white is
um it will select the white but if you
notice
it's missed some of the white
it hasn't picked it all up so a little
trick if you don't already know it is to
go up to
where it says select and down to similar
click on similar and it will select
everything that's white
in that image once you've selected
everything that's white you just delete
the white out of it
re-save it send it back over here into
canva
and upload it and then you can put it on
any color background you like you can
create the text that you like with
effects
and curve
and this one curve but let's curve this
the other way
and then you have a beautiful
exploded sunset uh let's see how you go
with that
i'd love to hear what you have to say
about it in the comments or any
questions you have or
any other little tips and tricks
around this splatter effect that you
have
and uh thank you for
