This video's tutorial will be done on a Pro account
To start designing you have You can view the catalog here or click the purple button in the right corner.
The good thing is that for each design, Canva will suggest the right size for you.
Especially if you often design posts to use for social networks like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube,
there will be no need to learn and adjust the size yourself
, Canva will default to you which size is the maximum. Best for each platform
If you have no idea, you can search for pre-designed templates
or click here to see the full range of templates by topic and field
you can design. lots of things like posters, resumes, infographics, charts, invitations, etc.
For example, I want to find templates for a presentation and select View all
Templates with crown symbols are limited and only used for pro accounts.
However, the number of free samples to use is also quite a lot. Open any
Click on any template to see it in full,
if you like, you can save it to your favorites list. You can view it later
if you want to use it, click here to customize.
This is your main design and editor interface.
With many other design types you will enjoy. It only has 1 page and can also add pages
. This is a Presentation design so the template set will have many different pages
you can choose to add any page you like to your post or select Add
All Elements already on the Canva template are available, you can edit them to your liking.
Each object on the design page will be viewed as a Layer layer, you
can right-click to customize it
or select the Position item to put it. uphill, downhill or align automatically from page
to click to select multiple objects on the necessary and then you hold down Shift when choosing
to group multiple objects for easy manipulation and move then click to select the group or Ungroup
If you want to fix the position unchanged, then select Lock that object class.
I will guide the handling for each type of object, first of all with text,
Click on the text boxes to retype the content, select Font, font size, color and text effect, align text, create a list,
in the spacing section, there will be a text spacing that is the distance between the characters in the text. Only a single row,
while the line spacing is the distance between the rows
below, you can choose to align the position of the text in the text frame.
The effects are the design styles or the shape of the text,
each style has its own options. There are many different individual settings.
You can also adjust the transparency, insert a link to another page, or duplicate it to copy.
The Animations section is the appearance effects of the object.
These animation effects can be applied to an individual object or to the entire page.
Since I was selecting the text box earlier, this is a custom animation effect for the text,
and if you select an image or other object, you will see that there are different types of animation effects.
To add new text boxes, you choose the Text tool to add a blank text box
or use Canva's pre-designed text templates and then edit the content.
One very important thing to note when choosing a font on Canva is that in addition to other aesthetic factors,
at least you need to make sure that the font you are typing does not have a Font error when typing Vietnamese accents.
I usually upload my favorite Font files that are available from a computer that has been fully Vietnameseized to avoid Font errors,
but the feature of downloading more Fonts is only available in Pro or Edu accounts
Continue I talk about a A very important element in design is color.
You can change the color of the background, drawing, any text color with Canva's suggested color sets
or type a color search keyword in Vietnamese or English.
Those who love design or professional design will know the use of color codes.
I also share with you some websites that suggest colors and color schemes that you can refer to to get color codes.
For example, colorhunt is one of the sites that I often use,
I will click on the color in my favorite mix to
copy the code and then paste that code into the Canva search bar to get the color.
About other file types that can be inserted into your Canva design are images, sounds, videos, animations
You can upload from your computer, shoot directly from your device camera or pull from the cloud and If you don't have
a social network account , you can use Canva's library, first of all, you need to click on Add, to
move the tools to insert images, audio, and video into the left toolbar.
The next object I will guide you to search and process is the form of images.
You type keywords to find the image you need,
you can turn on the search filter to specify whether to find the image by tone, direction or filter the background image.
Just click, the image will be automatically included in the design page,
you just need to zoom in and out to suit, rotate, flip, crop the excess space.
Select Edit image to change detailed indicators of color, light, contrast, etc.
, add color filters, add special effects to the image.
If you have a Pro account, you can also use the automatic background removal feature of the image.
However, if not, you can still use other free automatic background removal tools like I've instructed.
For video formats, in addition to the same processing features as images
, it can be changed. volume, trim video clip, select repeat play mode.
Both images and videos can be right-clicked to quickly convert it to the background image of the page
. When inserting audio, you can use Canva's built-in music store or upload
it yourself, adjust the volume or trim the audio you want to use.
In general, all the elements you need to use for design you can find in the Elements section,
especially notable are the types of graphics
There are several sets of templates grouped by theme and style
Once inserted 1 image into the design page, you can optionally change the color details of the image to suit the existing design style.
A very useful tip for non-professional designers and do not know much about design rules
that for each inserted graphic, or object, when you click on the letter i here,
you can You can choose See More Similar Content. to find all images with the same theme
or click directly below the image name to search all designs by this same author
so you will have the same graphics and your designs will also look different. more uniform, more professional
In addition, information about search keywords will also tell you more about naming images, terminology about this type of design style
These insights will help you exploit the power of Canva's biggest strength
is that here, right here in this search box, knowing how to put keywords is the reason why
some people can find more beautiful and relevant images and details than others.
even using the same Canva database.
Next with Canva you can create lines and shapes.
Feature This frame is for inserting shapes.
Usage is to insert any frame you like.
Then select an image uploaded from the computer or from the search engine, drag and drop it into the
Crop selection frame to crop the part of the image you want to display in the frame.
Similar to Frame is Grid, with a system of pre-divided layouts for you to create a multi-jigsaw collection
Not only has a huge available data source, when you click on the 3 dots here
you will see Canva related Connects to many other data systems,
so you can get images from famous image sources such as Pixabay
, YouTube video sources, Google maps, Giphy animation store, etc.
Canva also has an automatic QR code generator tool.
You just need to insert the link and then click generate code and you
will immediately have a QR Code image to insert into your design.
Another great tool of Canva is creating charts.
There are many types of charts, and all can be automatically redesigned based on the data you enter.
For example, with a pie chart,
you just need to get data from Google sheets or copy from Excel
or type directly into the table
, the chart will continuously calculate and redraw automatically according to the data being entered.
Those are data chart types, but with the statistical chart with images,
you can choose again. other representative icons,
can change the total number of items or the ratio of items
Those are all basic tools in Canva's editor page,
during design you can click here to enlarge zoom out,
in the File section select Show rulers or margins to align the layout evenly
After the design is complete, you can choose Share
to create a link inviting others to use, edit or view your design
With All designs such as presentation slides or containing video, audio, animation
, you can share or choose to download as video or gif animation.
Before that, remember to note about the duration of the animation effects,
for example with this presentation you are leaving the default duration for 1 page as 5 seconds
Canva also allows you to download the designed presentation under the format of PowerPoint but all effects will not come
and if just part of the image of the design, you can choose to download as png, jpg or pdf
design with many pages, remember to check all Selected page
click download and save it, that's it.
Especially, one of Canva's great but under-exploited features is that
you can also click here for a live slideshow of your design
if Connecting to a projector or giving a presentation online,
or take advantage of Canva's new feature of screen-recording your entire designed presentation
with voiceovers and a video recording of you presenting in the corner of the screen.
You just need to navigate through the slides and
the caption in the upper corner is the video time bar that has recorded the
entire screen on the right is a note section that you can add to remind the content of
course it's only visible For yourself, you can see now,
but the video results when outputting, the viewer will not see the note.
Click continue, pause when needed.
When finished, finish and wait for the recording to be output,
then the video link is sent to others to watch or download as an mp4 video.
I find this to be a great feature of Canva
that you don't need to use other screen recording or video editing software
to create video lectures or presentations.
All opened or created designs are automatically saved in this folder
To use Canva more effectively and professionally you may need to know
some keyboard shortcuts, keywords, or other tips. again
however I would rendezvous you that content in another video
One thing I want to share with you a new start with necessary and it is
not too dependent on the template patterns available
that losing gradually the ability to light create and create your own aesthetic
because anyway with a huge number of users but limited data warehouse
, the overlap and similarity are easy to happen with the available templates
, consider Canva as just a tool. A tool for creativity
, not a place to create multiple versions of instant noodle designs.
Good luck. Good bye and see you again
