tutorials and at any time during this video check out the description for
links to all of the resources mentioned in this video I'm going to walk you
through how to navigate canva to design your own beautiful graphics here are the
timestamps to all of the things that I'm going to cover in this video so you can
jump to the specific area if you'd like I've also link to them in the
description below so let's go over to my computer now to get started with canva
you need to sign up for an account and login to sign up for an account select
which of these following are most relevant to you it doesn't really matter
so go ahead and click on a section and then sign up with Google or you can sign
up with your email account canva will send you an email to confirm that your
email address is actually correct and once you've clicked on the link from
that email you'll be able to then sign in on the top right hand corner here
with the same credentials that you set up your account with so once you've done
that go ahead and sign in to your canberra account when you sign in to
canva if you can see on the left hand side explore canva 2.0 this is the one
you want to click on it means that you're currently using canva 1.0 and
you're not on 2.0 I highly recommend that you use 2.0 2.0 is the version that
they will be rolling out in the future that everyone will have and this
tutorial is all about 2.0 so if you you see it on the left hand side go ahead
and click on it go to canva 2.0 and this is what you should see
from the canva homepage there are three ways to start creating your design
firstly under this recommended section you can scroll and what you can see here
is some popular canva template so we've got social media we've got presentations
we've got posters and when we keep scrolling you'll see more pop up so
we've got Facebook posts Instagram pose banners a whole heap of design templates
that you can pick from this recommended section where you can scroll so you can
either select one of the designs here and this will open up the design in a
new window for you the second way to start looking for a design is in this
search bar at the top of the page so as you saw from when I clicked on the
search bar it will drop down and show you a whole heap of options that you can
once again design you can also try typing in things that you're looking to
create a design for so let's just say I want to design infographic as I type the
options will come up below so I can choose that or I can keep searching for
all of the different options that they have so I typed in Facebook and I can
see that there are design templates for Facebook ads a facebook cover photo and
then cover a Facebook post so you get the gist you can use the search bar to
look for design options in canva and the third way to start creating a design is
to select these custom dimensions and what this will do is this will allow you
to create a canvas a blank canvas in the dimensions that you wish so you can also
choose to have it in pixels inches millimeters or centimeters and you
simply type in the dimensions of the canvas that you want to work with and
create a design and this creates the blank canvas just like that so I'm going
to go ahead and I am going to actually pick a Facebook post from this
recommended section here so I click on that and this opens up the Facebook post
templates that canva has for me the thing that makes
canvas stand out from any other design software is the templates and the
templates are what will help you create designs extremely quickly extremely
easily even if you have no design experience at all you simply choose a
template change the images and text to suit you so I can select a design
template from the categories that I see here I just scroll and pick whatever I
like or I can search for a template so let's say I'm specifically interested in
inspiration or Facebook posts so I searched for inspirational and all of
the designs that are kind of inspirational
I guess tagged will come up and I can choose that or I can keep searching so
let's say that I want a sales post I start typing and then it will come up
with suggested templates relevant to what I just typed in so I'm going to
select another one and I'm going to go add a new page so I can work with
multiple designs at the same time and I'm going to pick a template let's just
have a quick look let's see which one I like let's pick this one so I've
selected the two templates that I want to play with and this just allows me to
play with a couple of designs at the same time if I decide that I no longer
want to work with a particular page I'm able to delete it I can also make a copy
of the page so I can work with the design on two different pages so I
can add different images and different texts and colors and just compare them
as I'm working on them you may notice with the templates that some of them
have free in the bottom right-hand corner and some of them don't and what
that means is that if you're selecting a template that doesn't have free on it it
means that that has an element on it which is a premium or paid element so I
chose this cupcake like post and as you can see there's an image here that has a
canva watermark on and this is a premium element if I
wanted to use this particular image I would have to pay for it
when you go to download the image you can see that there's one premium image
you select the use that you want to have one-time use multiple use or extended
use and then you pay and you download if you haven't put your credit card into
canvas before it will prompt you to put your credit card details in before you
can actually download and pay for the image and then you'll be able to see
your design without the watermark on it now let's go ahead and actually start
playing around in canva so you may notice on the left hand side that we've
got templates which was just selected but we've also got elements so these are
all sorts of different things so we've got photos we've got shapes we've got
charts and illustrations so all different things that you can add to
your design to personalize it and make it completely how you want it to appear
you can either select once again from the categories or you can search for
particular elements so let's just say that I want to search for dress elements
so things that will have a dress or things that include the dress tag in it
will come up once again you can see that there's free and there's ones that have
prices on them obviously the free ones are no charge where you see free with
the crown this means that it's included as part of canva for work so cambers
paid service and where it has a dollar sign it means that you need to pay to be
able to use this particular element so you can search for elements by the
search bar or you can search for it in the categories that you see on the left
hand side and once you see something that you like you can it click on it and
that will add it to the current active page that you're working on and then you
can start playing around with it you can also add text there are so many
different text layouts that canva provides for you so you can select a
layout and then you can customize it and change the text change the colors or
what you can do is you can add a text box and then what that will do is it
will allow it will allow you to then add your own text text test text to test and
then you can change it to be whatever font that you like that you can select
in this top left hand corner here in terms of adding your own font you can
only add your own font under the canva for work membership so you can't do that
under the free membership I highly recommend canva for work for many
reasons but one of the reasons that I recommend it is that it gives you the
ability to upload your own font so if you're working for an organization and
they use a very specific font you can upload it as part of kantha for work or
you can choose the many many many many many fonts available to you for free you
can also resize the fonts to be whichever size you choose whether it's
choosing the drop down or you can type the specific font size that you want and
you can change the color of the fonts by selecting the color a with the color
option it's got made a purple there you can do
all the basic editing things make it bold make it italics Center align it
left align it you can also make up all upper case or sentence case and you can
also create a list from it as well you can play around with the spacing which
is pretty cool so you can change the line height and this and the letter
spacing as well if you're playing around with the canva pre-made templates you
just select the text area change the text you can also change the font even
if you are using a template to be whatever you want just by selecting it
and selecting the top left once again changing the colors exactly the same way
so it really is extremely versatile in terms of the text that you can add
whether you're choosing a template or you're choosing to add your own text box
in terms of your own images this is also extremely
easy so let's go to the template and I can delete the image that I don't want
to use I can either choose from the elements so I can look for an image
let's say I want to look for a sunset and then all of the images will come up
so I can filter them by photos and I can also filter them by graphics and then I
can choose whichever design suit me click on it and then add it to the page
alternatively I can upload my own images if you go down to the upload section on
the left hand side here you can see down here these are all images that I've
uploaded in the past so that's pretty cool because it means I don't have to
upload it every single time I want to use it I can just pull it out from the
upload section and I can click on upload an image and then once I do that I'm
able to select the image that I want to upload and put into my design
so I've selected that it's just adding it right now and once it's ready I'll
see that it is completely loaded there it is I select it and I can add it to
the page so with the image I can click on the corner to stretch it out and you
will see that it kept it to aspect ratio so it didn't make it go all wonky
and then I can just move it a little bit there I can double click on it if I want
to change it a little bit I'm in terms of the cropping and I can move that to
the left a little bit I can do lots of other things with images so I can play
with the filter with the filters these are all pre done filters that I can add
so if I wanted to add them I just click on them if I wanted to go back to the
original one I would click on none if I wanted to change the position of the
image so right now it's sitting in front of all of these elements so let's say I
wanted to move it back so that it's slightly behind these two greeny
elements here I would select the image click on position and select back words
and this as you can see it's put the image behind this one
I also want it to be behind this element as well so click on the image position
once again and this put it behind it there so if I wanted to do the opposite
and move it forward I can play with that as well so it really is as simple as
clicking on it and just playing with forwards and backwards in terms of the
position of the actual image the thing I also really love about canva is that you
don't need to remember what's where so if you're able to adjust a certain thing
in an element so let's say we want to edit the text when I click on this
element you can see the menu at the top it changes so that all of the things
that you can do to this section are visible if I wanted to edit the image I
click on the image the menu change is there so you don't have to go hunting
for it in the menu like you would in Photoshop or any other Adobe
applications so the last thing I'm going to show you is how to add an image or an
element and make it transparent so once you've added the element or the image
and you want to make it a little bit translucent you click on the element or
the image select the top right hand corner here where there's this checker
box and then drag the transparency backwards and this will make it a bit
more translucent and it will mesh it with the color of the background so this
is how you can create a nice little filter which then you can add a text or
some other element on once we've finished designing and I'm happy with
the image and I'm ready to download it what you do then is you click on the
little down arrow here and this allows you to get the image in either a PNG
file a jpg file or PDF depending on what you actually want to do so I'm going to
go for a jpg and then I'm going to select the particular page that I want
if I click on all pages it will choose them all if I don't I can just select on
the particular page that I want and then I click download and can valve will
prepare the image and it will generate the file for me as you can see there it
is
click on it and there we go there we have our image right there with your
canva designs you can also name them so let's just say this is say or Facebook
post dress I'll see very lightly here it says all
changes saved so to saved everything that I've created I can also save the
pages by going to design and hitting the Save button here and don't forget to do
that during your design work because saving regardless of which application
that you're working on can save your actual life so if I go back to home I
can then see the design that I've just worked on in my your design section so
there it is so if I wanted to go back to the image and edits hurt it at a later
date or I wanted to copy the same design and modify it I can do that as well so
if I wanted to create a print design so let's talk about whether it's a poster
or an invitation or a flyer or a business card what would I do so I would
select the design and once again it would open up the canva editor you would
edit it exactly the same way as how I showed you to edit the social media post
choose the design select the elements that you want to change so in this case
the text to be whatever you need it to be upload your own images I'm going to
delete this image and I'm going to add this image everything is drag and drop
from camera that's why one of the reasons why I love it so much I'm going
to change that position to bring it back and then I'm going to change the
transparency of it so that you can see it a little bit better there there you
go and once you're happy with it here's where it's a little bit different when
you go to download the image so this download button here you can see that
you have the option to order a print with canva if you choose this option it
will ask you what size you want it it will ask you to select your print option
so how many copies you want and it will show you the
price in your local currency you can choose the shipping and if you continue
then it will give you the total price to print it so you can design it all in
canva and get them to print it for you and have it shipped to wherever you need
it to go if you don't want to use canvas printing option that's okay you want to
send it to your own printer or you want to take it to a print shop yourself you
can select PDF print and there are other options here so you can choose like a
standard PDF say this is if you're printing it on a home printer or a JPEG
or PNG if you are taking it to a print shop or a printer select the PDF print
and then you can also choose to put in the crop marks and bleed as well and
this will help the printer don't know what to do with that select download and
then canva will prepare the print-ready PDF for you so there it is and I click
on it there and there is the print ready file and the printer will be able to
take care of the rest for you there so it's slightly different to downloading
an image it's just about choosing the right print settings if you're using
canva to create a presentation now no longer do you have to download all of
the presentation slides as images and then insert them into a keynote or
PowerPoint you can actually present straight from canvas so after you
created your presentation select the publish button select present you can
then choose the transitions so if you select none then when you click it will
just go to the next slide otherwise you can have things like the circle
transition it's just slight styling on the actual transition so pick which one
you like and then you can also select to have the presentation as standard so
standard is when you present and then you click and it will go on to the next
slide or you can select autoplay so it will automatically move when you
configure it to be a certain amount of seconds per slide so after let's say
thirty seconds on the slight move and this is really good if you're at an
event and you want the slideshow to continually run in the background this
is what you can do otherwise if you're happy to just go with click motions
select standard select present of View presenter view is handy if you have two
screens so I'll show you what it looks like you select presenter view and then
you're able to have a view of the presentation in one window
and then you can see the upcoming slides and there's also a timer as well so kind
of like what you get in Microsoft PowerPoint if you don't feel that this
is necessary and you're happy to just present from one screen without seeing
all of this additional business you can just choose the publish option where
it's just standard so you don't select the presenter view and once you click on
that very present it will open up your presentation and then you can present
your presentation as you would any normal keynote or presentation and just
click on the arrows at the bottom to move the slides along so the last but
definitely not the least important thing that I'm going to show you is how to
create a website from canva mm-hmm you heard me right create a website so this
is when you need to get some information up a couple of pages and you don't have
time to get the web team to put something together but you need to get
this information and you need to be able to share the link to all of these
content in one place so what you can do is I'm going to pretend that these are
all the pages of a website I'm going to click publish I'm going to select
website and what this allows me to do is to publish these pages as a website so
once I give people the link they're able to access all of these pages without
having to be a canva user they can just see it so this is great if you are
holding an event and you need to get some information out to the attendees or
you are suddenly stuck and need to get some infamous
up and really really quickly this is a great tool so you can choose between
having a classic navigation so the pages and the pages will appear and at the top
you'll have a navigation bar or you can select to have the pages as one long
scrolling page so I'm going to show you how it looks like in both so if we click
classic navigation what you'll see here is the website now at the top here we've
got little navigation happening so if I click Y now it goes to that particular
section and all of the pages that I've created appear at the top here and
that's very useful it's just a quick way of creating the actual page don't know
what else to say but this is really really awesome the second option that
you can do is to do it as a scrolling page so I've selected that and this
means that I've got the entire page no navigation but they can quickly scroll
and get all of the information from the pages right in white all in one space so
you would just give them this link here and then they will be able to see all
the details right there so there you have a step by step walkthrough of how
