Improtant Things to help you improve your Design Skills: Hi, and welcome to this next section, where we're going to look at important things to help you improve your design skills. So this section should help you with your design skills, even if you're a beginner and you don't know how to get started. So in this first lesson, we're going to have a look at some different templates and this should give us inspiration for our designs. And after this, we'll look at some questions and then start designing. Okay, so let's get started. The first important thing we're going to look at is the different design styles. For example, banner templates, book templates, and presentation templates. So let's now have a look at few of these different design templates, which should give you inspiration and ideas for creating your own designs. Okay, so let's have a look at these banner templates. So you can view and edit different banner templates from many free websites such as Canva and Free Pick. These banner templates you can see on this page, though are from Free Pick. Let's now have a look at some book templates. So these book templates are also from free pick.com, and you can see there's some really nice designs here. And now let's have a look at some presentation templates. So these presentation templates are all about pets and vegan food. These templates here are from canva.com. Okay, so there's a quick introduction into some templates. In the next video, we're going to ask ourselves some important questions before we start designing. So thanks for watching and I'll see you there. 3. Important Questions to Ask Ourselves Before we Start Designing: Okay, so now let's have a look at some important questions to ask ourselves before we start designing and also what it takes to create a good design. So let's get started. So for this example, we're going to look at designing a logo for a plant shop. Before we design, let's ask ourselves these questions. So what are the signature colors of this company? What do you see when you imagine plants or the environment, which colors should be used for the logo? And which words can be used for this company or the logo? Okay, let's now answer these questions, and then we'll start to design a logo for the plant shop. Okay, let's now answer question one, which is, what are the signature colors of this company. So for this, the company's signature color is by no surprise green. But let's think about what exact shade or type of green. I'm thinking of a grassy leafy type green, so a kind of duller green that's not too bright. So this will remind people of plants rather than a bright un natural looking green. We'll look at this in detail later on though. Okay, let's now answer question two, which is, what do you see when you imagine plants or the environment? So for me, I think about Earth, plants, soil, trees, grass, rivers. Let's now answer question three, which is what color should we used for the logo. I'm thinking of using a dull leafy green for the plants and trees, and then an earthy brown for the soil and a sea blue for the river. Okay, let's now answer question four, which is, what words can we use for the company or a logo? So for this, I'm going to write down the name of the plant shop. This is just an example. This plant shop doesn't exist. But for this example, I'm going to use two different plant shop names. So for this, let's go with a Wass plant shop and the greenery corner. So if you want to come up with your own logo design, I do recommend asking yourself some questions before you start. Okay, so that's the end of this video. Next, we're going to design a logo. Thanks watching, and I'll see you there. 4. Let's Create a Logo: Okay, so in this video, we're going to go through the answers that we just looked at in the last video. But this time we're going to make a logo design from these answers. So if you remember question one, this was, what are the signature colors of this company? For this, we said a duller green that's not too bright. There are many different shades of green, but the green color I'm going to use will be this color code, A four, c032. So for this, I don't want a bright looking green, I want a natural looking green. So I think this color fits with the image of a plant shop and is quite a natural plant looking color. Okay, let's just go back to the second question again, which was, what do you see when you imagine plants or the environment? So remember the answers were earth, plants, soil, trees, grass, and rivers. So here, I've found some logo templates that I think represent my answer. So we've got these images from Canva and also free pick. So recommend searching and finding images that you can use to help inspire your own logo design. So for these examples, I've found some earth and plant templates that we can use for inspiration. Let's now have a look at some soil and tree templates that are found as well. Some of these are just graphics, but some of them have text as well. Okay, and then we have some river templates. So after looking at these different designs and templates, hopefully, now we've got some ideas that we can use for our own template. We do also want to make our design unique, so I won't copy any of these designs, but we can take inspiration and ideas from these designs. Okay, let's now have a look at the answer to the third question, which was, what colors should we used for the logo. So I want to use three main colors, one color to represent plants and trees. So this will be a dull leafy green. Then I want a color to represent the soil, so this will be an earthy brown. Then I want a color to represent rivers and the Earth, and this will be a sea blue color. We can also use black and white for the text, which can help make the font or design stand out. However, I recommend only using around three or four colors in your design, excluding black and white. If you use too many colors in your design, then it may be too much, and it may make your design look a bit messy. Okay, let's now have a look at the answer for the next question, which was, which words can we use for the company or logo? So the first name we came up with is Oasis plant shop. I chose the word Oasis. Oasis is where water is found in a desert, and Oasis also means a calm or peaceful area in the middle of somewhere busy or unpleasant. So I think this word gives a shop a nice meaning as this name can feel peaceful and special to the customers. Okay, so now let's have a look at the logos are designed for this plant shop. As I said, the name is Oasis plant shop. So for the first logo, I used the green and brown colors that we selected before, and I also included a small plant that might be similar to what customers can purchase at the shop. Let's now have a look at the second logo. Here I have two different variations, and for this, I have some different plants. This design also uses the same colors and is similar to a badge that someone might sew on a clothes or a sports badge. I wanted to create more of a symbol that someone might want to have as a badge or even as a T shirt design, which the shop could potentially use in the future. Then we've got the third logo. Again, we have two different variations. We've also got the name of the shop in the round badge design. This time we have two shades of green, and I think these work well together, and it seems like these green colors are from plants. And we also have the same images here that we've already used. Okay, let's now have a look at the next example. You may remember the other name of the shop was the greenery corner. So greenery means green plants or branches uses decoration. So if a name like this, people will think the shop has something to do with plants or trees. Then we have the word corner. I like having the word corner in the name of the shop. This makes your shop feel very local and inviting, like it's a corner shop from the neighborhood, and people often like supporting their local businesses rather than large retail chain stores. Okay, so now let's have a look at the four logos we designed, but the greenery corner shop. The first logo has an earth globe that is all green and looks like the sea has become grass or plants. Then we've got plants coming out the top of the earth. So from this, people will know it's a plant shop. Then we've got the name of the shop below, following the shape of the globe. Okay, let's now have a look at the next design. For this, it's similar to the previous design, but the name of the shop is on a ribbon that's on the earth. The color of the ribbon is blue, which is meant to be a similar color to a river or the sea. Okay, let's now have a look at the third design. Here we have the Earth as well. But this time, we're using more realistic colors for the Earth. However, we've got soil and the plant, grown out the top of the earth. For this, people should be able to tell that we care about the planet, and we want to plant more trees or plants. And this is also a shop that sells trees or plants. We also have a ribbon banner that has the shop's name following the curve of the earth below, which is an earthy brown soil color, which again follows the theme of trees and plants. Okay, then we've got the fourth design which shows someone holding a small plant. It looks like they're trying to protect this plant or help it grow. This design gives an idea of unity and to govern us, where we have a common goal of planting more trees or plants. Then we have the name of the shop in the brown banner ribbon below, which again is in a sole brown color. Okay, so there are some logo designs for the two shops. I hope you like some of these designs, but a lot of this is subjective, as you may like some designs, and other people may not. So when you create a design, I do recommend thinking about the message of the product or company. As I said before, I don't recommend having too many colors and trying not to overcomplicate things, or you may make your design look too messy. So go out there and design your own logos and images and have fun doing it and see it as art, and don't worry if you do anything wrong or make any bad designs. You can always make more, and you can change what you've designed. So remember to keep practicing and to critically analyze your designs to help you improve your skills. So thanks watching this video. I hope you find it useful, and I'll see you in the next one. 5. Choosing Colours: Hi there, and welcome to this video where we're going to look at choosing colors and color schemes, and I'll also give you some tips and advice about choosing the best colors for your design. So it's important to be concerned about what colors to choose for your designs as they can give you a lot of feelings and emotion to the product or image. Colors can also tell you about certain styles or periods of time. So you can see here we have vintage style colors from the 1950s era. We also have retro neo style colors from the 1980s era, and then we have modern colors from the present day. So let's just ask ourselves this question, how many colors is best to h in one design. There is no one answer for this, but I do think less is more. So I recommend using around three to four colors for your design. If you have too many different colors, then it may confuse people about the meaning of your design. Also, using the same tones can work well together, and if you have fewer colors, then it's easy to control these colors and tones. Remember, creativity is important for design, so nothing is wrong or right. Just have fun of it and focus on gaining new skills and experience to help you improve at design. Okay, so now let's have a look at some essential color theory to help with your designs. Let's now have a look at primary colors. So there are three primary colors, red, yellow, and blue. When you mix these together, you create the secondary colors. And then when you mix the primary with the secondary colors, you get the tertiary colors. Let's first have a look at the secondary colors though. So again, we get these from mixing the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. So when we mix red and yellow together, we get orange. When we mix yellow and blue together, we get green, and when we mix red and blue together, we get purple. Again, when mixing the primary with the secondary colors, we get the six tertiary colors, and these are red, orange, yellow, orange, yellow, green, blue, green, blue purple, and red purple. Now let's talk about warm colors and cool colors. Let's first look at warm colors. These tone colors give the feeling of hot, excited, active, lively, and angry. Now let's talk about cool colors. These tone colors give the feeling of cool, relaxed, peaceful, and fresh. Okay, now let's talk about how to use warm colors and cool colors in your design. So there are two ways that you can use these colors. Firstly, only choose colors that have the same tone. And secondly, use the 80 20 rule if you want to use both warm and cool colors. Let's have a look at the first one in more detail. So for your design, you should only choose the colors in the same tone as this can help the design feel harmonious and can make the colors look like they belong together. And let's talk about the second way. So the 80 20 rule is for both warm colors and coal colors together in the same design. So, for example, if we use 80% warm colors, then you should use 20% coal colors. It's also the other way around. So if you use 80% coal colors, you should only use 20% warm colors. So using these ratios will make your design look more attractive. I don't recommend using an equal ratio of warm and coal colors as this will make none of the colors stand out and can make the design look less interesting. Okay, so that's the end of this video, we look touch choosing colors. The next video, we're going to look at the meaning of colors. The hope you found this video useful, and I'll see you in the next one. 6. The Meaning of Colours: Hi there, and welcome to this video, where we're going to look at the meaning of colors. Let's first talk about the color black. So if your design, using this color can create a few different emotions. For example, it can give the feeling of a secret, luxury, expertise, sadness, fear, and strength. Let's now look at the color white. Using this color in your design can give a feeling of innocence, cleanliness, safety, peace, virtuous, simplicity, and justice. Next is red. This can give your designs the feeling of love, lust, heat, power, speed, excitement, anger, intensity, leadership, and determination. Then there's orange. This can give your designs a feeling of joyfulness, caring, sensitivity, friendship, and peace. Then yellow. This can give your designs a feeling of warmth, positivity, imagination, intelligence, activity, a sense of humor, creativity, and innocence. Then there's pink, this can give your designs a feeling of encouragement, warmth, cherishing, friendliness, youth, success, and beginning. Then there's gold. In this photo here, we have large golden marble tiles. This color can give a feeling of wealth, abundance, respect, victory, intelligence, and power. Then there's green. This can give our designs a feeling of nature, balance, calm, freshness, hope, and harmony. Then there's blue, this cool and give our designs a feeling of softness, calmness, coolness, freedom, and clarity. Then there's brown, this color can give our designs a feeling of stability, simplicity, strength, friendship, draw ability, and intimacy. Okay, and then we have purple. This cook and give our designs a feeling of mystery, patience, change, idealism, and extravagance. Okay, so that's standards video, we've had a look at the meaning of colors. So I hope now you have an idea of what colors to use in your design to help evoke certain emotions. The thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one. 7. Clashing Colours: Okay, so now let's talk about clashing colors. Flashing colors are two colors that are opposite in the circle of colors. The circle of colors is what we looked at before, and this shows us the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Normally, we don't use clashing colors in our designs as it can make them feel heavy and can often make the design look worse. So there are six pairs of clashing colors, and let's have a look at these now. So we have yellow and purple. We can see from the color circle on the left, that these colors are opposite each other. Then there's red and green. Again, we can see in the color circle, that these colors are opposite each other. Then there's blue and orange. Again, we can see these are opposite each other in a color circle. And then we've got yellow orange and blue purple. Then there is red orange and blue, green and yellow green and red purple. Okay, so now let's have a look at how to use clash in colors. So for clash in colors, we can use the 80 20 rule. So if you use clash in colors in your design, one of these colors shall be at 80%, and one of them should be at 20%. If we use more than 20% for one of these clash in colors and have it at say 50 50, so 50% for one color and 50% for the other color, done a design color messy and can make people feel confused and may not look interesting. The first photo has 50% red and 50% green, which in my opinion doesn't look that interesting compared to the second photo, where we have around 80% green and 20% red, which I believe works a lot better and looks more interesting. However, you can still use clash in colors at 50 50. So if you're going to use 50% of one clash in color and 50% of the other clash in color, then I recommend adding another color, such as white, gray or black to make the image softer. This can also stop the eyes from seeing too much contrast. So let's now have a look at these images here on the right. These images have the colors red and green, which are opposite each other in the color circle and are clashing colors. You can also combine the clashing colors with other colors to help improve the image and make the colors look softer. So if you do want to add another color to a design of clashing colors, then I only recommend using basic colors, for example, white, gray or black. Okay, so that's clashing colors. Generally, I recommend avoiding these in your designs. But if you are going to use clashing colors, then I recommend using the 80 20 rule, and if you're going to add in another color, then you can use it at 50 50. Okay, so thanks watching this video. I hope you found it useful, and I'll see you the next one. 8. Monochrome and Colour Palettes: Hi there, and welcome to this video, where we're going to be looking at monochrome and color palettes. Let's first explain what Molocrome actually is. So monochrome is when you match colors in the same tones. When we do this, the colors won't clash, it just increases or decreases the contrast, so the color matches. So let's now have a look at the photos on the screen. So the first photo uses black, dark gray, and light gray. So these colors make the photo look interesting, and you can see here that these colors work well together. Let's now have a look at the second photo. In this photo, the person is wearing black and red. There's also light gray from the background. Let's now have a look at the third photo. Here, the model is holding a dark blue hat, and there's also a softer blue and a kind of gray blue color. Again, these colors all work well together and match. Then in the fourth photo, we have a photo of this outfit. Here we have the colors yellow, brown, and gray brown. Again, these all match. Then we have the fifth photo, which uses the colors black, dark blue and gray, which again are monochrome and match. So let's now have a look at color palettes. So if you have no idea how to select colors or what colors to use together, then I recommend having a look at color palettes. So there are many free websites that can help you find the best colors for your design. For example, color hunt.com. Here I have some screenshots from Color hunt, and you can see that in the first photo, I've selected some pastel colors, and in the second photo, I've typed in the word coffee, and you can see here some coffee color palettes. So let's actually jump over to color hunt.com now, and I'll show you how this website works. So right now I'm on color hunt.com. So we can click on the Search box here. You can see up here, we can choose different colors. Let's just choose blue. And you can see here we have many different blue color palettes. Let's actually scroll up to the top again, and I'm going to remove this tag and click on the Search box again. And now let's choose one of these. Again, let's select coffee. We can see here all these different coffee color palettes, and there's loads for us to choose. Okay, so that's color Hunt, and there are other websites like this that we can use to help you find nice color palettes for your design. One of the other websites that has color palette is, of course, CVA. Canva has many functions for design, which includes color palettes. You can access Canvas color palette by going to cama.com slash Colors, slash color palettes. This site has many different color palettes, and there are many different pages of them. By the way, I've also linked to the different websites. I'm going to mention in this video to a downloadable PDF attached to this video. So don't worry if you're not making notes of these websites. You can just click on these links in the PDF later on to directly go to these sites. Okay. So now let's have a look at this website. You can see here we have many different color palettes, and we can actually search for a color palette. You can see here, we actually have a few pages just with these coffee color palettes. We can also hart the color palettes we like. So we can quickly see which ones we like or not. We can also click on the color palette, and you can see here we have the exact color codes. We can click on these colors here to copy the color codes. Canva can also generate color palettes from images and photographs. And we can access these by going to cama.com slash Color, slash Color, palette, generator. Again, this link has been added to the PDF attached to this video. So if Canvas color palette generator, we can upload an image, and it will find the color palette for us from that image. So let me show this now. So let's click on load image. And here I have my image that I want to upload. So for this example, I have the design that I made about my videography course. But now I can use these colors for another design if I wish. You can see here it has a name of the colors, and I can also click on these colors here to copy the color codes. So here I have my JPEG image, but you can also upload PNG images as well. So now I can copy these color codes into Canva or even photo shop, if you wish. I'll quickly show you now how to do this in Canva. So here I have a blank design. But just for this example, I'm going to quickly now add a few shapes. Just something really fast. Let's go back to the color palette generator. I'm just going to copy these colors and use them in my design. So I'm going to click on the shape here, then go to the color box, and then go to add a new color, and here I'm going to paste in the color code. Again, let's do this with another color. Let's go back to the color palette generator, Copy another code. Then go back to this design. Again, click on another shape, click on Color, and then click on add a new color, and then paste in the O color code. And I'll just do this again very quickly. So let's change the background to another color. Let's just do this for the triangles quickly. Again, click on this gray color and just paste it in here. It's not the best design, but I just want to quickly show you how you can copy the color codes into Canva. Just for this example, I'm actually going to add the design to a new page. So I did upload this previously, so let's go to uploads. And here I have my design that I uploaded previously. In camera as well, we can also pick a color from the design using the eye dropper tool. So you can add an image to Canva, and then you can use this tool to find the exact colors that you used in your design. So let me just quickly show you this now. So if I just unselect this image here, and then go up to color, I can click on add a new color, and then I can click this eye dropper tool here, which allows you to pick a color from the design. So for example, let's just pick this gray color here. You can see update here and the display. Then we can copy this and go back to the original design. And now let's change the color of this equal sign. Let's click on this and in color. Let's add a new color. So here can paste in, while just copied from the other design. You can see as well, if we go back to the original design and go in colors, Canva does actually display some photo colors here as well. So Canva will automatically detect the colors from your design. Okay, so there's a few different options. You can use a color palette generator. You can use eye dropper tool, and Canva will also generate the colors from your design. Okay, so that extended this video. In this video, we've looked at monochrome and color palettes. I hope you found this video useful, and I'll see you in the next one. 9. Layout Introduction: Hi there. Welcome to this video. In the next few videos, we're going to be looking at layout. So Layout is when you put the photo and text in the right position on your design. So this can make the design look more enjoyable to look at and more interesting. So in the next video, we're going to be looking at the rule of thirds. Then after this, we'll look at leading lines and balance. So thanks for watching and I'll see you there. 10. The Rule of Thirds: And now we're going to be talking about the rule of thirds. So the rule of thirds is used to make the subject of the design stand out and also make the subject or product look more interesting. It's also the basic rule that most photographers use when taking photos of a subject. So let's now look at how to work out the rule of thirds. To this rule divides the image equally into three parts, both vertically and horizontally. The vertical and horizontal lines will overlap, and there will be nine squares in the image. There are also four cross points where the vertical and horizontal lines meet. So these layouts are often used for backdrops and photos. Now let's have a look at some two to one examples. So two is the most important thing, and one is the less important thing. Let's have a look at his first example here. Here some people are holding ice cream cones. So here we have the horizontal lines dividing the image into three. So we have the subjects on the bottom two thirds. So the top third isn't really used, and the eyes are drawn to the bottom two thirds. Okay, let's now have a look at the next example. So here we have the image divided into thirds, but this time vertically. So the subject isn't in the first third, it's in the second two thirds. So here our eyes are drawn to the right two thirds. Again, we're using a ratio of two to one. Okay, let's have a look at some more examples. The image on the left is divided into thirds vertically, so we have the coffee cup and saucer on the left two thirds. Again, using the ratio of two to one. Let's now have a look at the design on the right. This time we have three horizontal line, so we have the title of the design and the main image in the top two thirds. We do have some information in the bottom third, but it's not as eye catching as the top two thirds. So let's have a look at some examples. Now using the ratio of one to two. So one is the most important thing, and two is the less important thing. On the left here, we have this image, which has been split into thirds horizontally. So you can see here that the text, please be safe, is the largest and the most important part of the sign and image. It's also what you want people to see immediately when they're look at the sign. So you can see here, we're using a ratio of one to two. So one is the most important thing, so the top third, and the second two thirds is less important. It is less common to see designs and images use a ratio of one to two, but it's still used, and it still follows the rule of thirds. Okay, let's now have a quick look at the example on the right. So this image is divided into three parts horizontally again. This time we have the fruit at the bottom third, and this is where the eyes are drawn. Again, it follows a ratio of one to two. And let's just have a look at two more examples that use a ratio of one to two. On the left, we have the image divided into third vertically, and we're using a ratio of one to two. So we have the subject on the left third. So the things in the middle and right third isn't as important on this design. Okay, let's have a look at the next example. Again, this is divided into third vertically, and we have the product on the right third. We do have some texts and some information in the other thirds, but the product is the most important part of the image, and this is where eyes are drawn. So again, this gives us a ratio of one to two. So if you want your subject or product to stand out even more, you can place them on the intersection point, which is where the horizontal and vertical lines meet. So let's now have a look at the examples here. In the middle image here, we have this hot air balloon, and this is placed on one of the intersection points. This layout here looks very professional to me, and I don't think it would look as good if the balloon was in the center of the image. Let's now have a look at this image on the right. So here we have these makeup brushes on one of the intersection points, which is where your eyes are drawn to. Also, the makeup palette in the background is blurred out and out of focus, so your eyes are really drawn to the brushes, which are in focus. So you can experiment with putting your subject or product on different intersection points. But remember, you don't always have to follow the rule of thirds. This is just a guideline, but if you think it looks better placing your subject or product somewhere else, you can always do that. Just remember the rule of Thirds is a good starting point and often looks great. Okay, so that's send this video. I hope you find it useful, and I'll see you in the next one, but we're going to be looking at leading lines. 11. Leading Lines: Okay, so in this video, we're going to be looking at leading lines. So leading lines direct the viewer's eyes to the subject or product and makes them stand out more. So let's now have a look at some examples. So if the image on the left, we can see that the sign stands out because we have the leading lights on the left on the sidewalk or path and a leading line on the right as well. So these leading lines lead your eyes to the middle to view the sign. Let's now have a look at the image in the middle. So here we have someone walking, and we have the leading lines of the light direct the viewers eyes so they can see the person walk alone, which matches with the title of the book, which says alone. Okay, then we have the third photo, which is of the city scape. Here we have the roads as lead lines, which leads our eyes to the building in the city. Let's now have a look at a few more examples for leading lines. So for the first photo on the top left, we're using the countertop as leading lines. So our eyes are led to look at the drinks, which makes them stand out and makes the image more interesting. So for the next photo below this, we have these leading lines, and this makes the text stand out, even though the text isn't bold. Now let's have a look at the image in the top right. Here we have creases in the material, and these are used as leading lines which lead our eyes to the product. Then in the next image below this, we have curved lines in the sand, which are used as leading lines. So these again, draw our eyes to the product. Then in the last photo, we have vertical leading lines, which again lead our eyes to the product and help the product stand out and look more interesting. Okay, so that's leading lines. I recommend experimenting with these in your design if you want to make the subject or product standout. Thanks watching, and I'll see you in the next one, where we're going to be looking at balance. 12. Balance: Okay, so now let's have a look at balance. So balance is when you have elements weighted against each other in your design. This can give the design a sense of completion and stability. The elements can be balanced vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. You can also balance the foreground and background to give a visual balance. Let's now have a look at some examples. In the first photo here on the left, we have someone doing meditation. This image is balanced with the subject sitting in the middle and a similar amount of elements either side of them. Okay, let's now have a look at the next image. This image is for competition. Here each person is balancing out the design. So one person has turned out to the left, and the ones turned out to the right, which balances out the design. We also have these name labels for each person, too, which also balances out the design. We also have the text versus in the center, as well as a different color for each person, and also an equal amount of white dots behind each person, which again, balances out the design. Okay, let's now have a look at the third design. Here we have 12 photos, six up, and six down, which balances out the design. There's also text in the middle, and we also alternate black and white and colors in the image. And the images also alternate between black and white and color. We also have these small heart images either side that balances out the design. We also cut the photos at the same point on the left and right side, which again, balances out the design. Okay, let's now have a look at another example. Here we have a menu. So we do have a few different things in this menu that balances out the design. So we have the name of the cafe at the top and middle of the design. There's also the same amount of images at the top and bottom of the design. We also have the same amount of images on the left and right of the design. We also have images on both corners at the top of the page, and there's also this image of coffee beans at the bottom of the page, which balances the design out. The items on the menu and price all have an equal margin and are balanced. So again, this example is balanced. So it is a good idea to balance out your design if you want to give a sense of completion and stability. Okay, so that's sended this video. Thanks watching, and I'll see you in the next one. 13. Font, Colours, Stroke and Layout: Okay, now, let's talk about font. So the font of the text is a very important part of the design, and you will need to make sure you choose the appropriate fonts to help keep your design interesting. Also, remember to look at the font and the overall design and ask yourself if it matches or works with the rest of the design. So let's now have a look at how to choose appropriate fonts fel design. So these are a few things we need to consider when choosing our font. So these are which font to use? Should we use bold letters or tele sized letters? What font size should be selected, what color and stroke of the text should we choose, and a layout for the text. Let's now have a look at these in detail, and let's start off with the first one, which font to use. So I don't recommend using more than three different fonts, or the design may look messy and unorganized. In our designs, we need to consider what type of font to use for the headline, subheadline, and text body. We also recommend using a font that's easy to read and stands out. So let's now have a look at some examples. Let's first look at the design on the left. Here we have the headline, which has the largest font. It's the largest font because it's the name of the article. Next, we have the subheadline, which says breaking news, which is the second largest font. This subtitle is meant to grab your attention, so you read the text below, which is why it's in a larger font. Then we have the text body, which has the smaller font, and you can see there's a lot more text. Font is still clear and easy to read. Let's now have a look at the design on the right. Here we have three different types of fonts. For the title, we use the font Georgia Pro condensed, and the other font we use is called Gotham, and these are both easy to read. Then we have the name of the company, Fair Hill Villas, and for this, we use the font Bower Bodoni. This font is harder to read, but it does look more fancy, which may reflect the image the company wants to represent. Okay. Let's now look at some more examples. Now let's talk about whether we should use bold letters or te sized letters. Bold letters and italicized letters are used to emphasize important parts of the text. We can also use a line or textbox to draw attention to the text. So let's have a look at these examples here. So for the design on the left, you can see the word book Sale stands out and catches your eye. This is in bold and it is also capitalized to grab our attention. We also have the website name at the bottom of the design, and this is in italics. I in the talxs just to make it standout and also to make the design a bit more interesting. We also have the text box around the words offline and online store. This is to draw attention to the text, and again, to make the design more interesting. Okay, let's now have a look at a design on the right. So the words book collection are in bold, but it's not strong as the example we just looked at. However, we do have these lines above the text to draw your attention. So we can use a line or text box to draw attention to the text and to make the design a bit more interesting. Okay, now, let's talk about what font size should be selected. So I do recommend sorting the font size by priority and also use the right amount of space for the text. Generally, you want to have the most important text, the largest size. So it's normally the title or the text you want people to instantly see. So if you have the most important text as the smallest font, then people may read this last or may not read it at all. We also need to focus on the spacing of the text. So we don't want the text to be too crammed or too close, and we also don't want the text to be too spread out, or it could look a little weird or unpleasant. Okay, so now let's have a look at some examples. So if they're designed on the left, this is a book design about music theory, so the words music theory are bold, capitalize, and also have the largest text. We then have the text for electronic producers, which is less important than the words music theory, but it's still important, so it's in a large font that's bold and also capitalized. We also have the words, the complete course, which is important, so it's in a large font, but it's not the most important, so it's not the largest font. We then have who the book was created by, which isn't as important, so it's in a smaller font, and it's not capitalized, and the name is not in bold. We then have the website name, which again, isn't that important, so this isn't bold. It's also not capitalized, and the font isn't too large. We also have a good amount of spacing for this text, and it's centered to balance out the design. Okay, let's now have a look at the next example. This one is very similar. Again, this is a book cover design. So we have the words Ableton Live 11 in bold, which is the name of the software that people want to learn from this book. This is important, so people know it's the correct software. So this is bold, capitalized as also the largest text on the page. Then we have the subtitle, which is music production in Ableton Live. This is important, so people know the skills are going to learn in the software, so it's in the large font, but it's not as large as the same title, but it's also bold and capitalized to stand out. Then we have who created the book, which is in a smaller font, and the name is not bold. Then we have the name of the website in the top right. This is in the smaller font, as it's not as important, but it's in the text box with contrasting colors, so it stands out. We also have the name of the website flipped on its side on the left here, which again, is in the smaller font. It's like this just to add to the design to make it a bit more interesting. Okay, so now let's talk about what color and stroke of text should we choose. So we can make the text stand out by using different colors and strokes. So the stroke is the outline of the text or the color around the edges of the item. Just be aware if you choose to have color strokes in your design, then the stroke should all be the same color. If you use multiple stroke colors, then your design can start to look messy and inconsistent. Okay, so let's have a look at some examples for this. Let's have a look at the example in the top left. The first line has a yellow textbox with black text. Then the second line inverts this, so it has a black text box with yellow text. Then the third and also the fourth line does this as well. So this makes the text standout and also makes it pretty interesting to look at. Let's now have a look at the next example, which is the example below. This design uses a white color stroke. This makes the text standout and makes it look a little more interesting. Let's now look at the next example, and here we have the words book launch in different colors. For this text, we're also only using a few different colors. So we're using maroon and pink, as well as black and white. You can see here this pink color of the text and the text box also matches the color on the person's top. We also have these small icons, which again, use the same color. This design is very simple and isn't messy, but it's still interesting. Let's now have a look at the next example, and this uses a black color stroke on the title, which is the word Hamburger, and also the italic words, which is full of flavor. This makes the text stand out and also keeps a design consistent and not too messy, as they both use the same color stroke. We also have these text boxes here, which both use the same red color, which keeps the design consistent and not messy. Okay, now let's talk about the layout for the text. So the text layout is an important part of the design process, and it's where you put the text in the right position. So if you do this correctly, this can help keep your design looking clean. This can also make your design look interesting and makes it stand out. It also helps the reader understand the meaning of the product and what you want to represent with your design. It also allows a reader to easily memorize the important text. Okay, now let's have a look at some examples. So here we have a textbook layout. This has photos and text boxes to group the different parts together. Which lets you know that the text is related to the image next to it. The text boxes also use different colors, so the standout and you can easily tell them apart. On the right, we have a larger photo and then two smaller photos below, which evenly balances out the design, which makes it look nice and interesting. In the text boxes below here, we have bold text for the topic. This helps it stand out and catch the viewer's eye. Then the rest of the text is regular sized texts and is less important. Let's now have a look at some more examples. The next one here is for our website. You can see we have a nice balanced design here where we have these evenly spread out images and a larger image at the top to grab your attention. Then we have a card layout. This has some different angles here in the design, which makes it look modern and edgy. We also have some larger texts to grab your attention, and we also have these icons evenly spread out with text below it. Okay, so that send of this video, we've looked at font, colors, stroke, and layout. I hope you found this vio useful, and I'll see in the next one. 14. Useful Websites for Graphic Designers: And now let's have a look at some websites that can help you with your designs. I'll quickly show you these websites now and I'll also link to them all in the PDF attached this video. Most of these sites will give you free royalty free images, but some of them may require a small fee. We'll explain it all shortly. Okay, let's have a look at the first site, which is cava.com. Of course, we've looked at Canva a lot so far, but CVA is a free to use graphic design tool, which also allows you to create social media posts, presentations, posters, logos, videos, and more. We then have Pier, which is spelled px a by.com. This is a royalty free image and video website. Then there's free pick.com, which is spellfr epk.com. This is a search engine that helps you find photos, images, illustrations, and PSD photoshop files. Many of these images have a free license, but some require the premium membership to use these photos. Then we've got free design file.com. This website has a collection of free vector art, icons, PSD, photoshop files, and photoshop plugins and fonts. All the images on the site are free to use for personal use, and most of them can be used commercially. Then there's elements.to.com. This is a subscription site for stock photos, graphics, videos, and music. You will have to pay to use these, but it is a good website, and it has a lot of choice. Then there's piwizar.com spot pkwizar.com. This has royalty free images and videos, which are also safe for commercial use according to their site. And then there's stock snap dot. This has free stock photos and images. According to their website, it says the photos on their site, are free to use for personal use and commercial projects. However, I do recommend doing some research about royalty free and commercial use, and also check on the website to see if you can use the images for personal or commercial use. Okay, so that's standard is video. I do recommend checking at these different websites, and hopefully they can help you with your designs. So thanks for watching, and I'll see the next one. 15. Part 1 - Tips to create a Digital Book: I am welcome to this lesson, where I'm going to show you how to turn a video course into a digital book with Canva. So let's get started. Okay, so let's have a look at my example. For this, we turn a course about camera settings into an e book. So we use this book as a downloadable resource for anyone who's enrolled in the course, so they can use this as supplemental material to help them learn the tips and techniques from the video. Okay, so now let's look at how we created this digital book in CVA. So step one is we find a book template to help you come up with a design for your book. First of all, have a look at other book templates. This can be on Canva or other templates online. So you can use this as inspiration for your book. And remember, you can always adjust the colors and any design elements if you need. Okay, so let's have a look at some templates from some free websites to help us come up with some ideas for our book design. Let's have a look at f pick.com, which is fr ek.com, and also templates on Canva. Let's now talk about things to consider about your book design. So we need to consider the colors and shades used in a digital book, also the header and footer, the left and right margins, and also the font and text. Okay, so now let's have a look at step two. For this, we're going to set the color scheme for the book. Remember, for color design, less is more. We don't want to have too many colors in the design, or it can start to become messy and unorganized. Let's keep things simple and I recommend picking around three to four colors that work well together. For this example, I'm going to pick four colors for my book design, and these colors are white, black, yellow, and gray. You can also consider using colors that are in the same tone, for example, dark gray and light gray. Okay, so now let's have a look at step three, where we're going to create multiple blank templates. We can add all the words and images later, but now let's start off with the template. I think it's a good idea to make templates like this, so we can see an overall image of the book before we add the information. Let's now have a look at step four, where we're going to choose the fonts and sizes for the book. Make sure you choose texts that's easy to read and also make sure the colors of the text is also easy to read. Also, make sure you don't use too many different fonts, or it can look messy. And also, don't have too much space in a text. And the next point is design font by priority. So make the text bigger and bolder for the most important things. So maybe a header or an important part from the video should be in a larger text or bold. Step five. Get a transcript of the video and put it into a text document. You may be able to download the auto generated text from online video sites like YouTube or UDME Just be aware the auto generated text isn't perfect, so you may need to go through this and correct a few things. Alternatively, you can use AI tools to transcribe the video. There are sites that can help you do this for a small fee, such as rev.com, which is rv, or you can hire a freelancer to transcribe your video. Alternatively, you can transcribe the video yourself manually. It will make it a lot easier if you have the text from the video, so you can always see what's needed to put into your book. So this course had auto generated captions and went through manually and corrected these. So in the course player in Utomy, I can click on the transcript button, and then from here, I can copy this transcript and put it into a text document. Step six. Listen to the video and in your text document, make the important parts of the video bold. This might be key phrases or anything that you think is necessary to put in the book. Step seven, copy the text that you made bold from your text document and paste it into your Canva template. For this example, I put the text on top of a yellow box. In this case, it was the different numbers for them to remember. Here you can see that I put 420 p in bold, so people know that this is an important part of the video. You can also see that I've added the image below this. This is actually a corrupt screenshot from the video. So you can add screenshots from your video and put it into your book, as long as it doesn't look too messy. Next to the images, you can see that I've put the text about the certain numbers in the box. I've put these in the box, so it stands out, and it also breaks up the text, which makes it more pleasing on the eye for the reader. So I believe it's important to imagine that you are the customer reading the book. So make sure it's easy to understand, and also make sure you've included all the necessary information from the video. Step eight. Make sure you don't miss out any important information or repeat yourself. In my text document, I highlight the text that's been added to my Canva design. This way, I can quickly see what's been added to the book and what hasn't? Let's now talk about Step nine, which is about exporting our project as a PDF file. So after we've finished our book, we can export it out of Canva. You may also want to export if you want to share what you've done so far with clients or friends, or if you want to see what your page or pages look like as a PDF. We can do this by going to share and download, and then we need to select, choose PDF standard. Okay, so that's the end of this video. In the next video, I'm going to demonstrate how you can create a book like this in Canva. So thanks for watching and I'll see you there. 16. Part 2 - Demo How to Create a Book: Okay, so now let's create some pages for this book. In the course, you can see there are multiple sections with different videos. For this example, though, let's change Lecture free into a book. Rains per second. And each photo. So let's go over to the transcript button here. Again, if you're using a video that's not on udomy, find out how you can get the captions or transcript of the video. So here on udomy, let's copy the transcript, which we can do with Control C on Windows or Command C on MAC. And now let's paste this into our text document by pressing Control V on Windows or Command V on MAC. Your text may be in a different color or might be marked or highlighted. So let's just select all of this text by pressing Control A on Windows or Command A on Mac. So let's just change this text now, so it's not highlighted. This back to Black. Okay, so now, let's watch the video and read the text at the same time. And each vote. Let's make the text for the important parts of the video bold. The smallest unit that a digital image can display on a digital device. And the more pixels we have, the sharper image will be. Common resolutions are four eP 720 P, ten ATP, 14 40 P, four K, five K, six K, and eight K. Four eightP is known as standard definition. However, I'd argue that standard definition nowadays is more like a ten ATP or four K. For example, in this video, where I'm talking about four ATP, let's make sure this is bold. You can also see that there is a useful photo that explains this. So let's screenshot this and include it in the book. If you have any of the original images from the video. It may be high resolution to include these in the book rather than taking a screenshot. But screenshot is easier, and we'll still look fine most of the time. We can screenshot the full screen on Mac by pressing Shift command f, and then you can crut this image. Or on Mac, you can select part of the screen that you want to screenshot by pressing Shift command four. And then you can click and drag over what you want to screenshot. Or on Windows, you can take a screenshot by using the snipping tool. You can do this by selecting the area that you want to take a screenshot from and pressing Shift Window S. Okay, so now let's have a look at another example. This example talks about YouTube video. So for this, I'm actually going to go to the YouTube video and screenshot from here. This is because this video is uploaded in four K on YouTube and only in ten ATP on Utomy. So the video on YouTube will look high resolution. For this video, I want to make sure we show the resolution, which is 2160 p4k, as this is one of the key points from the video lecture, and I want to make sure I include this. So let's put this on full screen. And then I'm going to screenshot by pressing Shift command four and dragging over the area. I want to screenshot. Okay, so now let's go back to the Camber design, and now let's choose template for this video lecture. So we can click this button here to edit this page. We can also zoom in and out on the design by dragging the Zoom slider at the bottom here. Now let's paste the important text from the text document into Canva. So here I have two windows open at the same time, one with Google Docs, where the transcript is, and one with Canva. So I can quickly swap between the two tabs. Now let's paste the title into the top text bar, and let's make this text box wider, so it fits all on one line, and let's also capitalize the first letter of the first word. Now let's highlight the text in the text document, so I know that I've added this to the Canva book template. Let's now paste the next paragraph into the text box below the title. Again, let's highlight this to the text document, and I've added this to the camera book. For the next paragraph, I'm going to place the text on top of this yellow box, and make it bold. This will make the design more interesting and will make the text stand out. Okay, and now let's copy and paste in the next paragraph. I also have a chrome extension called Gramm, which helps correct the grammar. So when someone speaks in the video, it can often sound fine, but may be grammatically incorrect. So Gramal helps me find any grammatical errors, so can quickly fix these. Now let's adjust where it says four ATP, and let's also make this bold. As this is an important part, and we want to emphasize this. So let's just readjust the image placeholder and also the textbox, and let's just delete some of this text here as I don't think this is crucial. Let's just resize the image placeholder and textbox again and delete this placeholder text. And let's just copy and paste the next paragraph and add it to this textbox. Let's just let all of the text know in the box, and I'm not going to make this bold, and let's just adjust these boxes now to neaten this up. Okay, so now let's add an image as this helps us break up the text and makes the page look a bit more interesting. Let's delete this placeholder and find our own image. We can do this by going to uploads on the left here. Now let's click on the upload files and add the screenshot that we took before. Now let's resize the image and make it big enough to clearly read, but not too big that it takes up too much space. Let's now add the next paragraph. I also don't need to add the word so. This might be fine for a video, but for a book, it's not needed. So let's delete this. Let's also capitalize the first letter of the word four. Let's just delete the line space at the bottom here to neaten this up. Again, let's highlight this paragraph in the text document, so we know we've added this to the camera book. Let's now copy and paste the next paragraph into this text box. I think this is a bit too small, so let's change the size of the font up here. Again, let's delete the photo template and upload another screenshot that I took before. I haven't uploaded this to CV yet, so let's click on Upload files, and I'll just import this from my desktop. Let's click on this image and then move it to the correct position, which is the bottom left of the page. And let's also resize this as it's too big at the moment. I'm just going to Zoom in with the Zoom slider here so we can clearly see this image, but it's not taking up too much space. Let's now resize this textbox and adjust the size of the text. I also want to make a shape to highlight the four K resolution number from the screenshot, which is an important part of the video that I want to emphasize. So let's go up to elements and choose this rectangle shape that has smooth edges. Now let's resize this and add a border to the shape. By pressing the border icon up here, and let's choose the single line border. Now let's change the border color to red and make the shape transparent, so we can just see the border and decrease the corner rounding amount. Let's also make the border a bit thinner as it's a bit too thick right now. So we can do this by decreasing the border weight. Let's now resize this shape and move it so it highlights 2160p, four k. So now the reader can clearly see this from the shape, which is drawing attention to the number in the shape. Let's just decrease the corner rounding amount even more. Okay, I think this looks good now. Next to this, I also want to add a finger clicking graphic, which will draw even more attention to this number. So let's go up to elements again, and let's type in click in the search, and let's select S all, and now let's scroll down and find one that's suitable. As this will be a PDF file, I want to have a still image, not a moving image. Okay, I think this one here is suitable. By the way, this image is for Camera Pro, but if you're following along and using the free version of Canva, just make sure you choose another image that doesn't have this crown icon and is a free image for you to use. Now let's resize this and place this over the shape. So it draws our eyes onto the 2160 p4k number. Okay, I think this is good now and I finished this page for the book. Let's now zoom out with the Zoom slider and see what the whole page looks like. Let's just move all of the texts and images slightly, so it's a bit more even on a page. So we can do this by clicking and dragging all of the text boxes and images and just dragging it down slightly. Okay, I think this is good now. Let's now talk about Step nine, which is about exporting our project as a PDF file. So after we've finished our book, we can export it out of Canva. You may also want to export if you want to share what you've done so far with clients or friends, or if you want to see what your page or pages look like as a PDF. We can do this by going to share and download, and then we need to select, choose PDF standard. Then you can select all the pages or just the pages you want to download. You can also just download the current page on by selecting current page, or you can select certain pages with these chat boxes here. However, for this, we're going to select all the pages. So let's check all pages and select done. Okay, so when you're ready to export, click Download. This project is 107 pages in total, so it might take a while to download. Once it's downloaded, go to your download location and open up this. Now you can view this as a PDF. So you can share your PDF online or send it to your customers or even start selling your book. Okay, that send this video where I've shown you how to turn a video or video course into a PDF book in Canva. So thanks watching this video. I hope you found it useful, and I'll see you in the next one. 17. Why are Thumbnails so Important?: Hi there, and welcome to this lesson, where we're going to teach you how to make great looking YouTube thumbnails in Canva. So let's get started. Let's first talk about what a thumbnail actually is. So the thumbnail is the cover of a video, most commonly YouTube video. This thumb nail represents the video content, and it's what makes people want to click the video. So why are thumbnails so important? Let's compare the thumbnail with a book cover. If someone is browsing around a bookstore and sees a book with a great cover, they'll be more likely to pick it up and have a look at it than if it has a bad looking cover. This doesn't necessarily mean it's a good book or not or if the book suitable for them, but a good design can help grab people's attention, and this is the same for video thumbnails as well. The thumb nail really makes the first impression, and first impressions are very important. If it's a good looking thumbnail design, the video can get more clicks and views, which means it can get more likes. And the channel can also get more subscribers if this video is suitable for them. Now let's talk about the benefits of using Canva to design your thumbnails. Canva is really easy to use, and it can save you time compared to something like photoshop to design thumbnails. Canva may not be quite as powerful for some tasks, but it's more than good enough to help you design great looking video thumb nails. You can also save money by designing the thumbnails yourself with Canva, rather than hiring someone to create them for you. Canva also has many great templates and copyright free photos, graphics, and fonts, so you can use them in your design without worrying about copyrighted material. If you sign up for Camera pro, you have even more options for copyright free images and designs, but you can still do a lot in the free version of Cava. Okay, so that's senators video where we've looked at why fm nails are so important. In the next video, we're going to look at techniques for designing fun nails. So thanks for watching, and I'll see you there. 18. Techniques for Designing Thumbnails: Okay, so now, let's talk about techniques for designing thumbnails. First of all, the thumbnail design should have a nice image, texts, and colors. Okay, so now let's have a look at these examples here. T the first image on the left says authentic Tailand and the gray and dark background colors, make the design look quite raw and authentic, which matches the words in the text. The text color and font are easy to read, but I personally would have added a bit more line spacing, so the word authentic is a bit easier to read. Still, I think this is a good design. Let's now have a look at a design on the right, where it says delicious fried rice. It's very easy to read. We also have the text above that says how to make. This is in a different font, and it's in more of a handwritten style, which makes the design look interesting. Then we have a photo of the food that people know from this thumbnail, what they can make from watching this video. The next technique is making sure the design isn't too messy. I recommend not having too much texts in the thumbnail. You only really want a few words that are easy to read and grab the potential viewers attention. I recommend putting just the essential text so people know what they're going to learn in the video. So I won't put your name or a company name or a website or anything like that in the thumbnail design. So let's now have a look at a bad design, and I'll tell you why I don't think it's a good design for a thumb now. Firstly, there's too much text, and the text will be too small to read if the image is small, which often is if people are viewing it on the phone. As I said, we don't need any website names or anything like that. So all this text at the bottom just makes the design messy. Next, the design has too many people. It's confusing because you don't know who to look at. So it'd only put one or two people in a thumbnail design or it could look messy. Let's also talk about the colors. I think these green colors that we use in this design are too cold, and we should have used some warmer colors as the food is hot and spicy, and warmer colors would match the food being made in this video more. Okay, so now let's have a look at a good example. So here we have less text, and it looks a lot cleaner. We only have one person in the design, and they are dressed as a chef, so people know it's about cooking. This also prevents the design from looking too messy as there's just one person in the design. The colors also match the food more as we're now using warmer colors. These warmer colors can also make people feel hungry, which works well with cooking videos. We also have yellow as a background color, red for the text box, and orange for the soup. Okay. Now let's talk about choosing a suitable font for your design. So recommend choosing a large font that's clear and easy to read. Let's now have a look at these examples below. So for the design on the left, the text hates TML, is very large and clear to read, which is the topic of the video. We then have the text four beginners in a smaller font, which is less important, but it's also easy to read. The font here is also in italics, which makes the design look more interesting. Also, the color of the text is white, as we have a lot of color from the code image behind. So I think it's nice to keep this white as we have a lot of color in the background. Let's now have a look at the example on the right. So here we have large texts for the words I got rich. This text needs to be eye catching, as many people want to learn how to get rich themselves. So this text needs to grab their attention. We also have the word rich in a yellow gold color, which can evoke the emotions of wealth and money as we think of gold when we see this color. We also have the word how in smaller text, as this is less important, and we also have the words a lifetime story in smaller text, but it has an orange text box around it to make it stand out and look a bit more interesting. We also have this person in this design who's wearing a suit, which many people associate with business and wealth. So seeing this design should grab people's attention, so hopefully they click and watch the video. Okay, let's now talk about using text box or text strokes to make the text and the design stand out. So for the design on the left, we have these different text boxes to make the text standout and also to make the design a bit more interesting. For the text boxes, we also have the contrast in colors of red, white and black. We also have a text box around the words 43 at an angle to make it stand out and look more interesting. For this example on the right, we have white text stroke around this brown text. Without this text stroke, the text might blend into the background a bit too much, but with the white text stroke, it allows the text to stand out, and again, makes it more interesting. Okay, let's now talk about the different types of thumbnails that we can create. Let's first of all, talk about a thumb nail that includes a photo of a person. If there's a face of someone in the thumb nail that people recognize or have seen before, then people will be more likely to click on the video as they will trust this person more than just a random image in the thumbnail. So let's have a look at this example here. So you can see that we've used the photo on the left for the design on the right. So we've added some texts and we've chosen colors that make the text stand out. There's also a paint graphic behind the words five tips to make the text stand out and look more interesting. So when you take any photos that you plan to use as fum nails, I recommend not putting the subject in the center. Instead, put the subject to one side. That way, when you make the fum nail design later, you have space to add the text. So let's now have a look at this example. On the left, we have an image of the subject lifting a weight for the design on the right, we've zoomed in on the subject, and we've added a filter to the image to make it less bright, so the text stands out more. If you want your text to stand out more, you can add a filter or just the contrast of the photo. We also use contrast in colors for the text, and we use a black text stroke. This text is also in italics to make it look a bit more interesting. We can also remove the background and just have the person in the design. So Canva has a removed background feature. Just be aware though that this is currently only for Canva Pro, so not for the free version. It might also remove the background a bit cleaner. If the subject is stud in front of an evenly lit green screen, we can still remove it without one. Also, if you're not using Camera Pro, then don't worry. You can still remove the background from a person by using other websites such as remove dot BG. If you remove the background, then this can give you more space in the design, and this allows you to change the colors of the background and make it look more interesting. So let's have a look at this example here. So we've changed the background color to this rose pink, which matches the top of the subject. We've also added this pattern to the background too. So I recommend finding a suitable new background if you want to remove the original background from the subject. You can also use free photos as a background for your video fum now. Of course, you can take the photos yourself, but this might not always be possible. Often free photos or stock photos can be very high quality, and can look better than taking the photo yourself unless you're a photographer with a high quality camera. So there are many places where you can get free photos. We do cover this in this course, but the main places I'd say are Canva and free pick.com. So you can spell free pick FE pK do. Okay, let's now have a look at these examples. So for the example on the left, I wanted to create a travel video thumb now for the Golden Bridge in Vietnam. I found this image on Canva, and it was a camera pro image. But there are still some great images in the free version of Canva, if you want to stay on the free plan. For this image, I adjusted the contrast, and then I added the text. You can also see here I added this paint graphic, and we have a more handwritten style font for the Word of Log to make it seem more casual. Let's now have a look at the example on the right. So for this, I wanted to create a thumbnail about drinks, so I needed to find some pictures of different drinks such as coffee, tea, and fruit juice. Then we added the black box and put the transparency to 45%, so we can still see the images behind, but they are darker, so the text in front stands out more. Okay, let's not have a look at creating a thumbnail from a cava thumbnail template. So we can use a camera thumbnail template and then change a few things in the design, such as the photo text or elements to make it our own. So let's have a look at this example here. The design on the left is a cava template, and a design on the right is what we changed it to. So we changed the words, move the text box to the right, and change the background photo. So using a template and Canva is a really quick and easy way to create a thumbnail. You can also use a screenshot from the video as a background photo. So many people take photos on the camera after they film a video. You can use this as a video thumbnail. But if you like me, often do film a video and then forget to take photos for the thumbnail. So you can use a screenshot from the video as the background photo. Also, when you take a screenshot from the video, it will match the content in the video, which can look nicer than using an old photo, whether clothes or the subject look different. If you do this, I recommend finding a screenshot of the subject in a suitable position. For example, here, I've chosen a screenshot of myself smiling. It's often a good place to take the screenshot at the start or end of the video as people often smile here. However, a photo taken of a camera can be high quality and better. So if you have the chance, I recommend taking some photos after you've filmed the video. But as I said, we often can forget. Okay. The next technique is using comparison photos for the thumb now. So this can be a before and after photo, so people can see the results from the video, and this can make them want to click it. So let's have a look at these examples. Let's start off with a design on the left. So in this thumbnail, the photo on the left shows the ingredients for the meal, and the photo on the right shows the cook meal. This might make people feel excited because they know they can cook this if they click this fumb now and watch this video and follow the instructions in the video. Let's now have a look at the example on the right. This is a video thumb new about building muscles. People can see the before and after and what's achievable if they click on the thumbnail and follow the steps in the video. Okay, let's now talk about some tips and techniques for making high quality fum nils. Firstly, make sure that images are all high quality and are not blurry, unless it's for a creative effect. Make sure your fum nil has a ratio of 16 by nine, so 16 wide and nine high. YouTube also recommends a fum neil size of 1,280 by 720 pixels, and a minimum width of 640 pixels. YouTube's maximum file size for a fum neil, currently 2 megabytes. Ideally, you want to export your thumbnail design as uncompressed PNG file, but at times you may need to export it as a compressed JPEg file to keep the file size under 2 megabytes. That's because JPEG images have smaller file sizes than PNG images, but they're not high quality. Okay, so that's end of this video, where we've looked at different techniques for designing umnails. I hope you found this video useful, and I hope you can start to implement some of the techniques that we're taught in this video. So thanks for watching, and I'll see in the next one. 19. A Thumbnail that Includes a Photo of a Person: Okay, so now let's look at how to make a thumbnail in Canva, where we already have a photo of the subject. So in Canva, let's use a YouTube thumbnail. And let's use a blank YouTube thumbnail. Okay, now I'm going to go over to free pick.com, which is firpk.com, and then find an image from here. You can apply what we teach you in this video to your own images, though. It doesn't have to be a stock image. For this example, let's type in makeup. Let's have a look through these until we find one that's suitable. Okay, I think this person here could be suitable, but really I want to find one where they're looking at the camera. You can see here when we scroll down, it says you may also like. So let's have a look at a few of these pictures here. I also want to use a free picture, so I'm not going to choose one with a crown as these are paid pictures. This one here looks good, but it is a paid one. Let's choose this one as the subjects looking at the camera, so let's download this. Now let's go back to Canva and click on loads, and then upload the picture we just downloaded. This may take a moment to load as these files are quite large. Okay, let's just resize this and put the subject in the middle. Now let's open Canva in another tab and look at a few of these templates here. For this, let's type in YouTube thumbnail makeup. I typed this in previously. So I'm going to select this here. Let's click on this one and click on Customize this template. So for this, I want to copy this paint graphic and then paste in my design. Before I do this, though, I'm just going to rename this design to make up thumbnail, just to keep everything organized. Now let's paint this paste graphic over to our design by pressing Control V on Windows or command V on Mac. And let's just move and resize this graphic. Let's now change the color of this paint graphic. Here you can see we have the colors from the photo, so let's try some of these. However, for this, I'm going to choose my own color. Let's choose this tone here though as I think this matches the design well. Let's now click on text and add a text box. For this, let's type in five tips. Let's select this text by pressing Control A on windows or command A on Mac. Let's change this to a different font. There's a text that already have in mind called Adder R swash. Let's type this in a search. Here it is, and let's use this. Let's just click and drag on this text to resize it. I want to have the letter five a different size. Let's actually delete this and then duplicate this textbox. Now let's type in five and then resize this. Okay, I think that looks more suitable. Let's actually rotate both of these, and then I'm going to click and drag over both of these text boxes and then choose a new color. So it changes the color for both of the text boxes at the same time. Let's choose yellow, and let's now change the text effect to a shadow effect. Let's now change the shadow color to black. Let's now adjust the offset and change the transparency to 100%, so we can see the shadow a bit clearer. Let's just resize and move this text now. And let's also resize and adjust this graphic here as well. Okay, let's now add another text box. Under text, let's click on Add a Heading. Let's change this to say natural, and let's change the color. Let's now move this to the top right. Let's choose a different font. The one I want to use is called Sense. Let's type this in the search and choose this one. Let's just resize this and change the position of the textbox. Okay, let's now add an effect for the text. Let's click on eff and let's choose shadow again. Let's change the shadow color to black, and let's increase the transparency to 100%. Let's also curve this text to make the design look a bit more interesting. However, I don't want it this extreme, so let's move the curve amount down. Let's just reposition this text, and now let's add another textbox. In the text, let's click on Add a textbox. Now let's type in makeup. Let's now change the font, and I'm going to choose this one here called Sensor brush. Let's now change the font, and let's try out a few of these. This one's a bit too much, so let's try another font. Let's type in handwriting and try out some of these. Let's now change the font color to white, and resize this and move it over to the right, so it's not in the way of the subject. Let's try some more of these fonts now. Some of these fonts are premium fonts, and some of them are free. Let's also capitalize the word up. Okay, let's find a few more of these fonts. I think this one here called Play script is suitable, so let's use this. Again, let's add a shadow effect for this text to help it stand out, a lot more interesting. Let's click on effects and then click on shadow. Again, let's change the color to black and increase the transparency to 100%. Let's just zoom in and zoom out to see what a design looks like from further away and closer up. Okay, I think this looks good now, and that's how you can make a video thumbnail, starting with a photograph of a person. So I hope you find this video useful and I'll see in the next one. 20. A Thumbnail that Removes the Original Background from the Subject: There and welcome to this video where we're going to look at creating a video thumbnail that has an image with the background removed. So I'm going to find a photograph on three pick.com fk.com. Let's type in makeup. The image I want is on page ten. This one here. Well, it's not actually that image, it's down below here where it says you might also like. So you can see here we have other images of the same subject. I want an image where the subject is looking at the camera. Let's choose this one here by holding a lotion bottle. So I'll make this thumb now about Lotion. Let's download this now, and click on free download. Okay, let's go over to Canva, and this time, let's type in Lotion thumb now. Let's have a look at a few of these. And let's choose this one here. Let's now click, customize this template. So we're not actually going to use this template, we're just going to use some of the elements from this template. Let's also click on this template here and click on customize this template. I. Let's now type in beauty pink. I actually want to find a background now. So for these thumbnail templates here, I'll just be using the background. Let's try this one here. I think this one looks quite good. But I don't need this picture or these elements, just the background. However, I'll leave this shape here and also this graphic with the hearts, as I think this might add to our design as well. Let's now click on loads and upload files and add the picture that we found on free pick. Let's now click on edit Photo, and now let's click on background removal. Just be aware though this is a camera pro feature only. So if you are using the free version of camera, then you won't be able to use this. However, in a moment, though, I'll show you an alternative way of doing this, which is free. Let's just cru this image now and resize it. Let's just rotate this and reposition image. Okay, now I'm going to show you a free way of removing the background just in case you're not using camera Pro. So the website is removed dot bg. This allows you to remove the background from an image. So let's now click on load image, and now let's select the image that we downloaded previously. This can take a while to remove the image. But I have found if you refresh the page, it seems to work a bit faster. We also have some settings here, which can help remove the background a bit cleaner, and we can also restore the background if we wish. So let's click on Restore now, and here we can click and drag, and we can also manually arrase here as well. Remove DPG, also link hop of Camera, so we can press create design here. And we'll open the design and Canva. Now we're being transferred over to Canva. And here we go, we can see the image with the background removed. Just be aware it does compress the image slightly as if we remove the background in Canva. However, it should still be high quality enough for a video thumb now. Let's just copy this image now and put it into the design that we made previously. So we can copy of control seal windows or command C on Mac. Let's duplicate the design we had previously, and let's just remove the image. This is the one where we remove the background in Canva, and let's paste the image from remove dot BG. So let's just resize this and reposition this, and you can see, it looks pretty good. As I said, not quite as sharp as removing the background in Cava, but still pretty good. Also on removed dot BG, we can download directly on here and then upload the image in Ca. So let's do this now. So on the cama design, click upload files, and choose the image we just downloaded. Again, let's resize and reposition this. Let's delete this page now though, and go back to page one. Let's just reposition the shape and graphic, and let's duplicate this shape and make a shadow. Let's change the color to black. Let's now right click on this and go to layer, and then go to send backwards. And then going to Send backward. There we go, we've added a shadow for this image, which makes it a bit more interesting. Let's actually change the color of the shadow. And let's choose the color from the photo. Okay, let's go back to one of these templates that we selected previously. Let's actually copy the text here. Now let's paste this into our design. Let's just change the text, so it says top lotion. Let's change the textbox, so it all fits on one line. Now let's click on AfC let's actually change the shape of the text. Let's click on curve. That's a bit to extreme, so let's bring the curve down a bit. Okay, I think that's a bit more interesting and let's reposition and rotate this. Let's just move the subject slightly. And now let's duplicate this text box, and then select this text. Let's change the color of this text to this pink text that we use in the document. Let's click on effects, and let's have a look at this with no effects, and let's choose the shadow effect. But let's go back to what we had as I think it looked better. Let's change the text shape to none, as I don't think we need this curve effect for this. Let's now change the fonts, and I'm going to try one called permanent marker. Let's find this here. Okay, I think this looks nice. Let's now reposition and resize this. However, I want to change the text effect as I think we can make this look better. Let's click on effects and then click on a shadow. Let's change the shadow color to white. Let's increase the transparency, so we can see this a bit clearer and adjust the shadow offset. Okay, I think this is a bit more suitable now. Let's go back to the other template that we opened before, and let's copy over this graphic that we have here. Let's put this by the subjects are so we can see this graphic. Again, let's go back to this other template and copy this text here. So I'm really just using these templates to copy certain elements from it and paste them into my design. Let's change this to 2024. Let's just resize and reposition the text here. Let's just rotate the slightly and reposition the text again. And let's just do some final tweaking here. Let's now change the text color for 2024. Let's choose one of these photo colors, but let's actually choose our own color here. So we can click and drag to find the most suitable tone. Okay, let's now close a side menu and have a look at this design. Okay, I think this looks quite good, and that's how you can remove the background for a video thumb now. I hope you find this video useful, and I'll see in the next one. 21. Travel Thumbnails that use Free Photos: Hi there, and welcome to this video, where we're going to look at a walk through for a log travel video thumbnail. So let's get started. Okay, so now let's search for our template. So for this, I'm going to type in travel YouTube thumbnail. So let's have a look at few of these. Okay, I think this one can be suitable. So let's click on this and then click on customize this template. So for this thumb now, I want the g travel thumbnail to be about the Golden Bridge in Vietnam. So let's change this from Portugal to Vietnam. Okay, let's just delete this image behind here as we don't need this. And under elements, I'm going to type in Golden Bridge. And now let's click on photos. There is a golden bridge in San Francisco, so let's be a bit more specific in the search and type in Vietnam Golden Bridge. The Golden Bridge is this here, is this hand bridge, which is in Denang, Vietnam. Many of these are suitable, but I like this image here. You may notice as well that these images are only available for Canva Pro as we have this small Pro, icon here. So if you're using the free version of Camera Pro and you're following along, then you will have to use another image. Okay, let's just resize and crop this. I also want to have a frame around the image, which is why I'm not having the image cover the whole design. Let's now click on the text and then click on effect. And I'm going to choose this effect here called splice. Now let's change the color of the text. I think a blue green color would be nice. So I'm actually going to select the color myself. So we can customize the color by clicking on this button here, and then we can select the exact color we want. So let's choose this one here. Let's just reposition the text, and now I'm going to click on edit photo to adjust the photo, to make it a bit brighter. So let's click on Adjust, and I'm just going to decrease the temperature to make it a bit cooler, and let's increase the brightness, to make it brighter. Let's also adjust the contrast, and also the highlights and shadows. Let's also adjust the white and black colors as well. And I'm going to increase the vibrant and also the saturation to help the image stand out a bit more. Let's now click on elements and add a shape. So I'm going to add some texts on top of this shape, so it stands out a bit more and makes it easy to breathe. So let's resize this. And let's also change the color. Again, I want to have a blue green color. But let's actually choose the exact color used for the text, Vietnam. So let's click on the eye dropper tool here and select the color of the text. And you can see now it is change the textbox to match the color of the text. So let's now add a new textbox, so let's click on text. And click on Add a new textbox. Let's now type in Golden Bridge. This text is obviously too big to fit in this textbox, so let's just change the text size now. I'm also going to change the font, Let's try a few of these. Let's try this one, glacial and difference. Let's also make the text italic and bold, so it stands out. And let's just adjust the size and put it in the center. And let's also increase the letter spacing. Let's just try these other fonts as well. To be honest, I prefer the font that we had before. So let's click and do it a few times until we have the font that we had previously. Let's now add a new textbox, and this time, I'm going to type in the word of log. Let's change the font for this. For this, I want to have a more casual looking font, something that looks a bit more handwritten. So for this, I'm going to use the font called Blueberry. And let's change the color of this and make it black. Let's just reposition this, and I don't want this text all in capital letters, so let's press this button here. Let's just click and drag over all of the text and move it down slightly. And now want to put a graphic behind this text box. So let's click on elements, and then type in paint. Let's now click graphics and have a look at some of these. Let's just try this one here and put it behind the text. So I think having a paint graphic can help make the design look a bit more casual and fun, which matches the log theme. However, for this example, let's find another graphic. I'm going to type in paintbrush and have a look for another one. Okay, I think this one looks suitable, so let's select this, and let's change the color to a yellow color. Let's now delete the old one and resize the new one and put it behind this text. Let's now rotate this and reposition it. Okay, I think this looks good now. One final thing to do is to change the color of the frame. I'm going to change it to white. So now it looks more like a polarized photo, which I think matches the travel log theme. Okay, so there we go, here's the video thumb now. So that's the end of this walk through. I hope you found it useful, and I'll see in the next one. 22. Vocabulary Thumbnails that use Free Photos: Hi there and welcome to this lesson, where I'm going to give you a walk through how to make a thumbnail. So on this video, I'm going to make a thumbnail, all about drinks in English. So for this thumb now, I want to have the keywords, vocabulary, English, and drinks. Okay, so let's get started. I'm actually going to have a look at some templates, first of all. So in the search bar here, I'm going to type in the word food thumbnail. So hopefully, one of these may be suitable. Obviously, I can change all the different elements in this. But one of these might be nice as a starting point. As you can see, we have some great design templates in Canva. Okay, I think this one here might be suitable. This one's called Black College Street Food YouTube thumbnail. So I'm going to click on Customize this template. First of all, let's change this text. So I'm going to select all this text by pressing command A on Mac or Control A and Windows, and let's change this to drinks. Let's just resize this so we can see all of the text, and I'm going to change the font to something else. I already know the name of the font I want and it's called Blueberry. I'm just going to resize this text now. Let's change the text above this, so it says vocabulary. I'm going to change the font again, and the one I want is called public sands. And let's just change the size. We can change the size up here, or we can change the size by clicking and dragging on the textbox. Now let's change the words for the bottom textbox. I'm going to change this to say in English. Let's just change the font, and the font to want to use is called Flattery slab. So let's click on this. Again, let's resize this, and for this, I want to make it unbold. Okay, I'm actually going to adjust the line spacing here to make it a bit tighter. Again, let's adjust the position of the text. For the word vocabulary, I'm going to change the text color. I think a yellow color will stand out more. Let's now add some effects for the text. I'm going to add a shadow, and let's have the shadow color as black. I want the shadow to stand out. I'm going to put the transparency to 100, and I'm just going to adjust the offset. Let's add a shadow effect for the text drinks as well. Again, let's make the shadow color black. And let's also increase the transparency to 100, and again, let's adjust the offset. And let's do the same for the text in English as well. Okay, so now let's actually change the images. As the thumb out is about drinks, I'm going to add some drink images. Let's have an image about TT, so I'm going to type in the word TT. And I want to have a photo of this, so let's click on photos. Many of these are suitable, but I like this one here, as it has three different types of drinks with different colors. Let's just resize this, and let's also corrupt away some of the space that we don't need in this image. And again, let's resize this. Okay, let's now add another image for this one, I want to have an image about juice. Again, as a photo. I think this one here looks nice, very colorful, and it shows different types of juice. Again, let's crap away some of the space we don't need and resize this. Let's delete this image here, and also this flagged icon. Now I want to have an image of coffee, so I'm going to type in coffee in the search bar. I think this one here is nice. Again, let's crop away any space we don't need and resize this. Now I want to have an image of a bottle of herb juice. Let's type this in the search and find one that's suitable. Okay, I think this one is suitable. Again, let's just crop anything we don't need, and let's just resize this. Now let's replace this image over here with an image of someone pouring T. Let's now delete this template image, and again, let's crop and resize our new image. Let's actually make this text quite a big, so it's easier to read from a distance. Again, let's click and drag on these text boxes to resize these. I'm just going to adjust a line spacing for the word in English. Now, under elements, I'm going to add this dark gray black box. Let's just resize this, so it covers these two images. Now we have this box here, we can easily read the text. However, I still want to see these images here. So let's adjust the transparency of this box, which we can do with this transparency button here. Let's change this to 45%. Now the text is easier to read, but we can still see these images. So I'm just going to resize this again. I'm just going to see what it looks like by adjusting the offset and also the direction for the shadow. So when creating designs, it may not be perfect straightaway. So you may need to make slight adjustments to improve what it looks like. And let's now change the text vocabulary to bold. I remember previously I saw an element that I light on another thumbnail template. So let's actually find this and copy and pace this element into our design. The template I want to copy and pace a element from is from a drink thumbnail. So I'm going to type in drink thumb up here. And it's from this one here. Let's click on this and click on Customize this template. So you can always find other templates and copy and paste certain elements that you like into your design. So is this element here that I like? Let's copy this with Command C on Mac or Control C on Windows. And then paste this into our design, with Comand V on Mac or Control V on Windows. L et's just resize and rotate this now. Again, I'm just going to adjust the text and move this element over. One more thing I'm going to do is I'm actually going to make the images brighter. A lot of the time video thumbnails are quite bright. Let's click on this image and then click on adjust and increase the brightness. Again, let's do this for the other images as well. I'm just going to move this box out of the way so we can select these images behind it. So again, let's select this image, click on adjust, and then increase the brightness. And the same for the te pouring image as well. Okay, let's put this black box, black where it was. There go, there's our thumbnail design. So I hope you find this video useful, and I hope you can use some of the tips and techniques that taught you in this video and apply them to your own thumbnail designs. So thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one. 23. A Thumbnail that uses a Canva Template: Okay, so now let's have a look at how to create a travel thumbnail in Canva. So here we have a blank template that has a size 1,280 by 720 pixels. So this has aspect ratio of 16 by nine, and it's a size that YouTube recommends. Let's now click on Design and use one of the templates from here. Let's type travel. You can see here we've got lots of great looking travel templates that we can use for our designs. Let's choose this one here. I think this one looks nice. Let's actually delete this image here, and let's click on elements, and now I'm going to type in Pacho, which is an area in Shangmai, Thailand. And let's click on photos, and let's have a look at some of these. Let's right click on the photo and then go to layer, center back. So we can see the images around the text. Let's now resize this. For this, though, I do think it would be better to have these text boxes on the right rather than the left. As I do think the main parts of the image is on the left. So let's select all of these text boxes here. We can select them more by holding shift and clicking. Let's now drag this over to the right. Let's just zoom in so we can see this part of the rock here on the left. Let's actually try another photo. As I don't think this one is suitable. Let's scroll down and have a look at view more. Let's delete the current photo and choose this one instead. Et's right click on this image and go to ayer, center back. So we can see the text boxes, and let's now resize this image. Okay, I think this image is better as we can see this main rock on the left. Let's now change the text. Let's write Poacho, which is the area in Shanghai, Thailand. So let's write Shang Mai here and also Thailand below. For this design, though I want to have the image a bit less bright. Click on the photo. Let's click on edit Photo and then click on adjust. I'm just going to adjust the temperature now, and for this, let's make it a little warmer. Let's also adjust the brightness and make it a bit brighter, and let's also adjust the contrast. Let's also adjust the highlights and the shadows. I think I'll leave the whites on zero, but let's decrease the blacks. Let's also decrease the vibrance and the saturation. So now the image doesn't stand out quite as much, so our eyes are more drawn to the text. Let's also adjust the sharpness to make the image a bit blurrier. Let's also adjust the clarity. So when we decrease the vignette, we make the edges of the image a bit wider. Okay, I think this works now, and as I said before, the image now doesn't stand out quite as much, so our eyes are more drawn to the text. Okay, so that's the end of this video, where we gave you a quick example of how to make a travel thumbnail. Thanks for watching this video, and I'll see in the next one. 24. Thumbnail from a Screenshot: Okay, so now let's have a look at how to make a thumbnail from a screenshot image. So sometimes when you're recording videos, you may forget to take a photograph, so you can actually take a screenshot from your video and use this as your video thumbnail. So let's now have a look at this video here where I want to take a screenshot from. Often in videos, the subject will smile at the end of the video. So let's now have a look at the end of the video and find a suitable screenshot. Okay, I think this frame here is good, so let's use this. Let's also put the video on the highest resolution and make this full screen. So we get the highest resolution for our screenshot. Let's now find the part at the end of the video with a smile and take a screenshot of this. We can take a screenshot of the full page on Mac by pressing Shift command three, or we can select the part we want to screenshot by pressing Shift command four, then dragging over the area we wish to screenshot. On windows, you can screenshot the whole page by pressing the print screen button. Or you can use the snipping tool. We can choose the area you want to screenshot, by pressing Windows Shift and S. Okay, I think this one here is fine, so let's now take a screenshot. Okay, some narrowing Canva, and let's now find a template. I'm going to choose a fitness fund now. As for a lot of these templates, the text stands out, and I want to have something similar for our design. Okay, let's choose this one here. I like the text here, and let's press customize this template. Okay, let's now have a look at another template. Let's choose this one here, and let's press customize this template. Let's go back to our screenshot. This video is from one of my courses, and we're going to use this text here, how to record your camera for recording videos in the video thumbnail. Okay, let's go back to Canva. And here's the screenshot that we took. And we're going to copy these text boxes over to my design, and we can copy by pressing Control C on windows or command C on Mac. Let's now paste this in my design with Control V on Windows or command V on MAC. Let's now change the text color, and let's change it to white. Let's now change the rotation and move and resize this textbox. I. L et's now change the effects for this text, so let's click on effect, and let's choose shadow. Now let's change the shadow color to black, and let's increase the transparency to 100, so we can see the shadow for the text a bit clearer. Let's also adjust the offset, and let's also adjust the line spacing. Let's now select all of this text by press and Control A on Windows or command A on MAC, and let's now write in our own text. So the same text that I talked about before, change this to say how to use, and now let's duplicate this textbox, and change it to say your camera. Let's now change the color of the text for the second textbox to red. Let's now change the effect. Let's now choose a different color for the shadow. I don't think this blue color is quite right, so let's actually choose our own color. So I'm choosing more of a dark purple. Let's see what this looks like when we unbold it, but I'm going to leave it as bold as I think this looks better. Let's just resize this text now, so it's not in the way of my face. Let's just resize this image and move this text, so it's not covering the face. A lot of the time when people look at an image, they're looking at the face, so we don't really want to cover this with text. Let's copy the text and textbox from this other template now and use this for our design. Let's change the rotation and move the text and textbox. Let's just crop the textbox and resize it. Now let's change the text, so it says for recording videos. Let's just resize this, so all fits on one line. And now let's change the effects for the text, and let's add a shadow effect. Let's choose black for the shadow, so let's adjust the offset and increase the transparency so we can see the shadow effect a bit clearer. Let's also adjust the letter spacing as well. So there's more space between each letter. Let's just resize this text now, and let's actually choose a different font. But the font to want to use is called Inter. Let's let this. L et's also change the font to inter for what it says, how to use. Let's just make a few tweaks to the text now. Let's look at adjusting this image. We can adjust the vignette effect, if we wish, so the edges of the image can be darker or lighter. We can also adjust the clarity. But for this, I think it's fine as it was. I'm going to put these back to zero, but feel free to experiment with these settings for your own designs. I'm going to add a shape now, and I'm going to use this to hide the hands in the image. Let's change the color of this, and let's drag this down to hide the hands. Let's also change the transparency so we can see a bit of the image coming through. Let's click on layer and then click Send backward, so it doesn't cover the text. Let's just move this down and resize this, and let's try a different color. For this, let's choose a black, purple color. Let's now adjust the photo and make it a bit brighter, so it stands out. So let's click on the photo and then click on edit Photo, and now let's increase the brightness. And let's also adjust the contrast. Well, I don't think we need to change the rest of the settings here, so let's leave them as they are. Let's now adjust the text and the letter spacing. Let's just adjust the text slightly to line it up. Let's now click on your camera and I don't want this a talic, so it's different from the first line. And there you go. There's our design. So that's how I made a video thumb now from a screenshot. So thanks watching this video, I hope you find it useful, and I'll see in the next one. 25. Comparison Thumbnail: Let's now have a look at how to create a before and after thumbnail. On the Canva home page, I'm going to choose the YouTube thumbnail template. This now gives us a blank page, and under the design tab, let's type in before, after. So this will give us some before and after templates. Let's now have a look at a few of these. Okay, I think this one is suitable, so let's click to add this. I'm just going to delete the text here and also these icons. So here we have two images before and after. Just going to delete these images now and add my own images. Let's click this back button, and now under elements, I'm going to type in papaya salad. So on the left, I want to have the ingredients for the salad, and on the right, I want to show the salad fully prepared. So from the thumbnail, people will know that they can make this dish from watching this video. So let's click on photos and find the salad fully prepared. We can see in the image here, we have a crab. So for the image on the left, where we have the ingredients, I want to make sure it has a crab in the image. Okay, I think this one's good. But let's have a look for another one as well. Okay, I think this one's a bit better. Let's just click to move this, and then hit done when we're ready. Let's now move both the images, and I'm going to delete this white line in the middle as I don't really want this for this design. Okay. Let's now change this to how to cook papaya salad. Let's now change this to how to cook. Then below, I have this text box. Now let's change the transparency. So we can still see the images behind. So this box allows the text to stand out a bit more, but we can still see the images. Let's just highlight this text now by pressing Control A on Windows or command A on Mac, and let's change the font. Let's just try a few of these. Let's also make the text bold. Let's try this text called Georgia Pro. Let's now change the text color for the text color. I'm going to leave it on white, and let's now add an effect for the text by clicking the Effects button here. Let's try this one called shadow, and let's change the shadow color to black and increase the transparency so we can clearly see the shadow. Let's also adjust the offset and the direction of the shadow. Let's now resize and move this text. I'm just going to adjust the direction again, and you can see here, the shadow move when we adjust the direction. Let's also adjust the offset and put the transparency to 100%. Let's actually duplicate this text. Now I'm going to add the words, papa salad. And let's change the color to this yellow color. Let's actually change the text to black. For this, I don't want to have a shadow, but I do want to add a box. And then later, I'll add a yellow box. But I do want to add this box and then put it behind the text to help the text stand out. So let's just put this around the text. Now we can clearly read the words, papaya salad, and let's just position this in the middle. Let's now sell out the box, and I'm going to change the transparency. Now we can see the images behind, but it still allows the text to stand out. Let's now resize these boxes and the text. Okay, I'm just going to adjust a line spacing for the words how to cook. Let's make it a bit tighter and put it in the center. L et's close a side menu now and just have a look at this design. The last thing I'm going to do is make these images a bit brighter. So let's click on the image on the left, and then click on edit photo. And now let's click on adjust, and let's make the temperature a bit cooler. Now let's increase the brightness and adjust the contrast. So now this image stands out more. Let's do the same for the second image, so let's click on this, and let's increase the brightness for this and also adjust the contrast. Let's also make this image a bit warmer, so let's increase the temperature. So let's decrease the highlights. Let's leave the shadows on zero, and let's increase the whites. Let's also increase the vibrance so the image stands out a bit more. Okay, so that's how we can quickly make a comparison thumbnail in Canva. I hope you find this video useful, and I'll see in the next one. 26. What Should a Good Resume Include: Hi, and welcome to this section, where you learn how to create resume in Canva. In this first lesson, we'll discuss a resume or CV. So if you just want to learn how to make the design, then consider skipping the section and just view the demo resumes, we create in the next section. However, if you want to learn some information about what makes a good resume, then I recommend watching this section. Okay, so let's get started. Let's first talk about a resume versus a CV. So you may hear the words resume and CV, but you may not know the difference. They are a little different, so let me explain now. CV stands for curriculum Vita. It's essentially a list that displays someone's education, work history, accomplishments, and achievements. These are popular in the UK, Europe, and Asia. A CV can be more than two pages long. It's used for applying for standard or regular jobs, a government job, or an education job, such as a teacher, and it's also used for a university scholarship application. ACV also doesn't need to be updated too often. Let's now talk about what resume is. This is a summary of yourself and what you want to represent to the company you're interested in working with. This includes useful skills relevant to the job position, education history, and work experience. It doesn't need to be as detailed as a CV. Resumes are popular in a USA and Canada. This is usually only one page long, normally in A four page. These are used to apply for regular or standard jobs and also office jobs. A resume should also be updated often and tailored for the job position you're applying for. So why is having a good resume important? Having a well written resume that fits the need of the job position can help you land more jobs and get more opportunities. A resume can often be the first thing someone hears about you. Making a great first impression can help get you to the next step, which is usually the job interview, and having a great resume can also help you stand out from other applicants. Let's now talk about things to know to help you create a great resume. So you can have many resumes with different styles that you can use when applying for different job positions. The resume should include useful skills, especially those needed for the job. For example, if you previously studied a subject and want to work outside of that industry, your resume should include any new skills you've required relevant to the job position. Let's say you've graduated in chemistry and want to apply for a video editor position. In that case, I recommend tailoring your resume around your video editing and computer skills rather than your chemistry knowledge and qualifications as they're not really relevant to the video editing job role. If you're new to working in an industry and you're worried that the company may choose someone more experienced for the job, try not to worry too much as often companies will choose recent graduates. Some companies may also look for people with less experience, but the pay may be less than if you're more experienced. So try to make your resume as good as possible and gradually build up your skills and experience over time. Let's now look at creating a great looking resume design that hopefully gives more job opportunities. Let's now have a look at a quick example guide for designing a good resume. Let's look at these two different job roles that we want to make a resume for. These are a graphic designer and a receptionist for a hotel. Let's start with a graphic designer job. For this position, I recommend having a stylish and creative design so that people looking at the resume instantly know you have a good eye for design. I actually know someone who is an architect, and they studied architecture university. After they graduated, they wanted to find a job as an architect. So to stand out, they made the resume into a handmade pop up card of a building that displayed their skills and experience. When the person opened this card, they saw the detailed building that they had made and can tell they put a lot of time and effort into it. They then got an interview and landed this job. So this is an example of how to stand out from the crowd and grabs people's attention with a well designed and creative resume. This example was a physical resume, but can still apply this to a digital resume. When you send a company your resume, you can include a link to your website or previous projects you've worked on. Having your own website can help you stand out. Your website can also be a portfolio that displays your previous work and achievements. You can also include photographs of previous work or projects you've been involved with. You can easily create a simple website on Google sites or another website builder, but this goes beyond the scope of this course. However, I recommend you do it. If you don't have your own website, you can still attach photos and links to a PDF resume file, which people can click to view previous projects you've been involved with. Also, having your own custom e mail address can help you look more professional. Instead of having@gmail.com, for example, you can use at your name.com or your brand name. This can make you look professional and can help you stand out from the other applicants. Okay, let's now have a look at the other resume example. This is for a receptionist job at hotel. This job requires the applicant to have good customer service, communication, language, and management skills, and ideally hospitality experience. So for this resume, I recommend including details about any experience related to the position. Any feedback from customers who are impressed with your previous work or service could be a great addition to this resume as this can prove you have good customer service skills. You could provide this via a link to a page that displays good reviews and feedback or include screenshot or photos of these reviews in the resume. Let's now talk about what a good resume should include. When creating a resume, I recommend including these key points. First of all, the information is appropriate for the job position. It's only one page long. The design is clear and easy to read, is up to date in the latest version. And also, the design of the resume matches the job position and shows your style. Okay, so now let's have a look at these examples here. These are some resume cava templates that we found. The design on the left is for an IT project manager position. It looks calm, simple, and professional. For this type of job, I wouldn't make the design too creative or funky. I'd keep it simple and professional. The resume on the right is for a product designer job. This is a bit more colorful and looks a bit more fun with the photos pink background and the designs pink tone. That's because this job is in more of a creative industry, and this style matches the job role a bit more than the simple professional design like the other one. Okay, so that's end of this video, where we've looked at what a resume should include, and also a resume versus a CV. In the next lesson, we'll look at some tips for adding a photo to your resume. So thanks for watching and I'll see you there. 27. Tips for Adding a Photo to Your Resume: Tips for adding a photo to your resume. Okay, and now let's talk about having a photo in your resume. Many companies would like to have a photo attached to a resume, especially if the job involves working in front of customers. That way the company can see if you look friendly and professional. Having a photo, especially a professional looking photo can help your resume stand out. This should hopefully make it easier to move to the next stage, which is normally the interview. However, just be aware that some companies do not want you to include a photo as they do not want to be seen as choosing someone based on as or appearance. So research the company beforehand and decide whether or not to include a photo of yourself. Let's presume that the company would like a photo view on your resume, and let's now discuss some tips for including a photo. Firstly, a good photo can mean different things to different people. For example, the first photo here is a great photo for social media or for sharing with your friends and family, as this is a nice travel photo with an amazing background. However, for applying for a job, this is irrelevant, and the background is quite pointless for a resume photo. Let's now look at the second photo. This is an example of a good photo. The photo has good lighting. We can clearly see the face of the person. They have a welcoming smile, and they are dressed politely. The third photo is an example of a bad photo for a resume. The person isn't dressed professionally. They look like they're wearing gym or yoga clothes, which are too revealing. For example, you may think a photo like this is great for social media, but it's not really suitable for a resume. However, it does depend on the job. For a gym trainer or a fashion model, this is probably fine, but for most regular jobs, it's probably not suitable. Next, choose a photo with a nice smile. When we see someone smile, it instantly makes them look more friendly. So when you look at these three photos here, we can see that the first and third person look friendly and have a nice smile, but the second person or the person in the middle looks quite aggressive and unfriendly as they are not smiling and are pulling an intimidating pose. So I recommend smiling. You can show your teeth like in the third photo or not show your teeth like in the first photo if you prefer. Either is fine. Next, let's discuss how to choose a good photo for your resume. Dress professionally and politely. However, it does depend on the job. If it's for a job at a gym, showing your muscles and physique could be a good thing, but for a more regular job, say an office job or a teacher, it's better to be dressed politely in your photo. The photo on the right is an example of a good photo for a resume for a teacher position. They are dressed smart and polite, have a nice smile and seem welcoming and friendly. People can be judgmental and first impressions count, so recommend dressing appropriately for your resume photo. I recommend choosing a photo that clearly shows your face and where you're not too far away. I also don't recommend wearing sunglasses in your photo. The first photo here is a good photo. It clearly shows the face with a nice smile and a polite shirt. The second photo isn't good, as we can't see their face as they're too far away. The third photo also isn't good because they're wearing sunglasses that hides their eyes. Even though the sunglasses in clothes, they wear a fashionable, this photo doesn't seem suitable for a resume. We also recommend choosing a photo that looks natural. For example, I wouldn't choose one that pulls too much of a pose or is too stylish. We're looking for simple, natural, and professional. These photos here might be fine for social media, but not for a resume. The second photo might be fine if you zoom in on just the face, but the photo quality will need to be high to do that. I also recommend using a high quality DSLR or mirrorless camera with a good lens rather than a phone unless the phone camera is very good. That way you can get a great shot, and this will make you look more professional. If you have a photo that looks like it's taken by a pro. If you don't have one of these cameras, I recommend asking a friend who has a good camera to help you take some photos. Alternatively, you can hire a local photographer. You can even rat cameras for the day. For example, in the UK, there's a website called Fat Lama, where you can rant camera equipment by the day. Let's quickly discuss hairstyle. If you have long hair, I recommend that doesn't cover your face too much. So for the first photo here, I don't recommend this because they're wearing a hat, and accessories on their hair are not suitable for a resume photo. The second photo is professional looking as they look too serious and unfriendly, and their hair covers too much of their face. The third photo looks like it was taken by a professional, but it looks more like a shampoo commercial and doesn't look suitable for applying for a job. I'm sure it's fine for social media or modeling picture, but not for a resume. Let's now discuss lighting. A well lit photo can improve the quality of the photograph and make you look nicer and more trustworthy. Here is a photo of me with the same pose and shirts. The difference is that the first photo is well lit and looks friendly and professional, while the second photo looks dark and moody and much less friendly and gives a very different feeling, and that's all down to the lighting. The second photo might be fine for an artist photo, for example, but not for a resume. Okay, so that's the end of this video, where we've discussed tips for adding a photo to your resume. I hope you found this useful, and I'll see you in the next one. 28. Important Details to Include in Your Resume: Let's now talk about some important details to include in your resume. Let's first discuss the basic information. First of all, we must include your full name, which should be in a large font, so it's easy to read. Next is your birthday and Age. You may or may not need to include this, depending on the country you're applying for jobs. Some countries such as the UK, don't require personal information, including age, marital status, nationality, spiritual beliefs, and a photo. So I recommend researching to see if the country you're applying for jobs requires this information. And then your phone number, e mail, and website. If possible, I recommend including all free, to make it easier for the company to contact you. As mentioned previously, a would make your website essentially a detailed portfolio of your previous work that employees can view and can make you look more professional. Okay, let's now look an example. Here we have some basic information for the person's resume. We have their full name and date of birth, and we also have their marital status and address. This resume is from a Canva template. As I said, depending on the country you're in, you may not need to include a photo, date of birth, marital status, or nationality, but we have it here for this example. We also have their contact information, which includes a phone number, e mail, and website. Let's now talk about work experience. Include the name of the previous workplace and put this in bold. Then the job role. Put the job role in a larger text so the person reading the resume can easily see the name of the previous company and your different job roles. Then the duration of your previous job. Add this so the person reading it can see how long you've had a job for in the past. Then explain some details about the previous job roles. This gives context to the job roles, so the person reading can see your duties and the skills you've learned from previous jobs can be useful or not in the new job you're applying for. I also recommend putting the last job first and then go backwards from there. Okay, let's have a look and example now. In bold, you can see, we have the names of the previous workplaces. Then we have the duration of the previous jobs, and also the job role. And below here, we have some details about the previous job roles. Then it's time to put any education experience. I recommend putting the most advanced education you have first or the one most suitable for the job. For example, any degrees or qualifications related to the job you're applying for. If you went to university, you can put the name of the degree and the major you studied. Then I recommend putting the duration of the education so they can see how long you studied for. For example, in the UK, a full time undergraduate degree is normally for years, and a full time master's degree is normally one year for most subjects. It may be a different duration for some subjects, such as an undergraduate medical degree, which is five years in the UK. Then put the facility you graduated from. This can be useful if you studied a subject that can be applicable in the new job role. If you have qualifications other than a degree, you can also put these. If they are specific to a job role, then they may be more useful than a degree. For example, a commercial driver's license may be more useful than a university degree for a truck driver's role, but maybe not for an office job. It all depends on the job you're applying for. You can also put your high school as well if you graduated from high school. In the UK, it's a little different. Our high school or secondary school, as we call it has GCSE qualifications, which everyone needs to do. And then we have a level qualifications after this, which are not mandatory. It may be different in your country. We can also add any qualifications from school to your resume, especially if they're relevant to the job you're applying for. Okay, so let's now have a look at this example here. In the education section here, we can see they have a bachelor's degree. Then it says the facility they graduated from. Then it says the name of the university, when they studied and the duration of their study. Then it says high school, the program they studied, the name of the school, when they studied and a duration. Internship experience. If you have little or no work experience, you can include any internships, especially if they are relevant to the job you're applying for. This is better than not including anything at all. You should put any internship information down like this. The name of the company interned at, the duration of the internship, and the projects you weren't involved in when you weren't intern. Let's have a look at this example here. So you can see here on their resume, we have a section for their internship experience. Here it has the names of the companies they interned at, when they interned, and the duration of their internship. And with these bullet points here, it describes the projects they're involved in when they weren't intern. Let's now talk about volunteer work. This work shows the company that you're a kind and caring person who wants to help others. Let's now look at how to put volunteer work into a resume. I recommend adding volunteer work in this format, the name of the company or place you volunteered at, how long did you volunteer here for, and what did you do during your volunteer work? Let's have a look at this example here. So we can see here what they did for their volunteer experience. And below this, we can see the name of the company that they volunteered at. Then we can see when they volunteered and the duration of their volunteer experience. Then with these bullet points, it describes what they did in their volunteer work. Next, we have skills. I recommend adding any skills that will be useful for the job you're applying for. If you have a driver's license, you can include it, if you think it might be useful for the job. If you can speak or read any language other than English, you can include this if it's relevant to the job. You can also include any computer or software skills such as photoshop or Excel, if they are relevant to the job. Some resume templates have a graph, star, or level bar to describe their skill level. However, I recommend writing down your skill level rather than using a level bar or graph to display it. A level bar or graph might look good from a design point of view, but I don't think it's as professional. So let's have a look at these examples here. The resume on the left displays a skills under expertise, and also language. The resume on the right has this skill section here, which displays a skills with these stars. As I said, I'm not really a fan of the stars. I do think it's better just to list them. Reference. Let's now talk about your references. People who are looking through resumes may wish to contact previous employers. Before being considered for any new job role, your references may be contacted to check that your information is correct and that you were a good worker for the company. Many people include the contact information for the HR department from the old workplace, their manager, or the company's CEO as a reference. However, I only recommend putting someone down as a reference if you had a good relationship with them, and you know they will talk about you positively if requested. If you don't have any work experience yet, you can include the contact information of a university teacher or someone you've known through volunteer work, for example. You can also put down someone who is in a good position who knows and trusts you. For this example, they've included the name and contact details for CEOs from previous companies they've worked at. Okay, now let's talk about attaching any documents to your resume. So you can attach any useful documents if they're relevant to the job you're applying for. You could attach certificates, which could help prove you have useful skills for the job you're applying for. Again, they will need to be relevant for the job position. You could also include any grade certificates. These show how many classes you've taken, what subjects they're in, and your grade. You could also include a TFL certificate. Some job roles may request that applicants have a high Tele score, such as English teachers or air hostesses. This may be useful to include if English isn't your first language, and you want to prove you speak English at a high level. You can also include a portfolio. This can be useful to display any previous work that you've done. For example, if you're applying for a graphic design position, it can be important to show any previous work you've done to prove you're a good designer. Let's now talk about reviews. Attaching previous positive customer reviews can be useful depending on the job you're applying for. This is more for jobs where you have contact with the customers. This feedback lets future employees know that you have good customer service skills. In some jobs, you will get customer ratings and reviews, and you can add some of your best reviews to your resume. For example, here we have review papers from a hotel. This is feedback from the customer as they checked out of the hotel. So the guests here gave great reviews for the receptionist. So if you're applying for a customer facing job or a job in direct contact with customers, reviews like this could be useful to add to your resume to prove that you were good at your job. Okay, so that's the end of this video. We've looked at some important details to include in your resume. So a good resume isn't just about a good design. It's also important to consider the information and the order of the resume. I hope you find this video useful, and next, we're design some resumes. So thanks for watching and I'll see you there. 29. Resume Design Demo: Hi there and welcome to this video. I'm going to show you how to make a resume in Canva. So let's begin. So now in cama.com. And here I have Google Doc, of the information that I'm going to add to the resume. If we want to learn about what information to add, please check out the previous videos where we cover this. So here we have the name and information, a summary about themselves, their skills, languages, education, internship experience, volunteer experience, work experience, and the references. Okay, let's go back to Canva. In the search bar up here, let's type in resume to have a look at some resume templates. So Camera's got a load of great templates. I'm going to use this one down here for this example. This resume is for a video editor position, and I think this design looks suitable. It's stylish but professional looking. Let's now click on customize this template. Let's just zoom in with the bar down here. Let's go back to the Danna resume, and let's copy over the name. Now let's paste this in to replace this name. Now we're also going to copy over the position, which is video editor, and let's paste this in the subtitle below. Let's just resize this shape, and also adjust the text, so it looks a bit neater. Let's just drag over all of this and move it up. So it's level with the top of the photograph. Now let's drag over the shape, the text, and the photograph, and move up so we have more space for the rest of the text in the resume. Let's also resize this photograph and make it a bit smaller. We have this contact information here. I'm just going to move this up and then resize this. Let's actually make the space between each one a bit tighter. So let's just click and drag up between each one. I like to highlight the text once I've added in the information. So we know what's been added and to keep it organized. Let's just copy over the phone number now and paste in here, and let's copy over the e mail address and paste in here. I don't want this to be underlined, so let's click this button up here. Let's just click on this pencil button here, and I'm just going to remove the link. If you're sending this as a PDF resume, maybe having a link to an email address or a website might be useful. But for this example, I'm going to remove it. Let's do the same for the website. Let's copy and paste this over. Again, I don't want this underlined and let's remove the link. Then we have the address, so let's copy and paste this over. Then I'm just going to duplicate this text over here. But before we do this, let's go back to the document and highlight the information we've already added. Now we're going to add some basic information for the CV. So we're going to add data birth, nationality. And also marital status. Depending on what country you're in and also what job you're applying for, you may or may not need to add personal information like this. But for this example, we're going to add it. Let's just duplicate this text box over here, then go back to the document, and then copy and paste the information from the text document into the resume. Let's just select all of these and change the color. Let's choose this yellow color, so it matches with the rest of the design and makes it a bit more interesting. Let's now drag and select over this text box and line, duplicate this, and move it up. Before we move on, let's highlight the information we previously added. Okay, now we're going to add the summary, so let's change experience to say summary. I also want to have this in capital letters. Let's just move this line up. Let's now duplicate this text box, and then add the information from the document. So let's copy this over into this text box here. Let's now resize this. Let's duplicate this again. But before we move on, let's highlight what we just added in a text document. Let's change education on the left here to say skills. Let's just resize this and move it up, so we have a bit more space. I'm going to delete this and just have this text box here, where we're going to list the skills. Here we have the skills. Let's copy and paste this, and I don't want to have this bold, so let's click on this B button here. Let's also make the font a bit smaller and reposition this. Some people may have percentage bars next to their skills, but for this, I'm just going to list them. Again, let's go back to the document and highlight what we just added. Okay, let's not add language, so let's copy and paste this from the document into the resume. Again, let's delete the rest of the text boxes here and copy and paste the information into this one textbox. Again, let's change the text size to size ten, so it matches the text above. Let's just reposition and move this up now. Let's now move language up here. And I'm going to change this, so it says reference. We do have the reference on the right here, but I want to move it on the left. So let's copy and paste this into this text box. Let's now drag over one of these references. But as you can see, we need to change the text color or we won't be able to see it. So let's change it to a white color. Let's just move this up slightly. And let's just duplicate this. Let's go back to our text document and highlight what we added previously. Okay, let's go down to the references here, and let's copy and paste the name of the first reference. Now let's copy and paste over their job position, and also their phone number, and e mail address. Now let's add the name of the second reference. Their job position, phone number, and e mail address. Again, I don't want this to be underlined, and I also don't want to link this. Let's hit the pencil icon and delete the link. Let's just resize this slightly. Again, let's highlight what we've added. Okay, now let's add their education. And let's duplicate this text box here, and also this larger text in bold, and put this above. Let's duplicate this once more. Let's just change the size so the text below is a bit smaller. Let's just delete this here as we don't need this, and move this line up. Let's just drag this down and also delete a reference down here as we've added it on the left. Now we have a bit more space, so we can add their education information. And now let's go back to the text document and copy and paste over their degree information. So first of all, their degree type and when they studied, and then the name of the subject, and where they studied a. Now let's add their next education information, which in this case is their secondary school, and when they studied. Let's also add their level of study, which in this case is A levels, and also the name of the school. So let's click over all of this and drag it up. Okay, let's highlight this in the text document and move on to work experience. Now let's change experience to work experience, and let's capitalize this. Let's just move this line up, so it matches the other lines. I want to have the bold and largest text first, so let's move this up. Let's go back to our document and I want to put the most recent work experience first. So let's copy over this one first as this is the most recent. So we have the name of the job role, and the years they worked this job. Let's delete this text down here. We don't need this. Let's duplicate what we just added here. Now let's add the information about the job role. We don't need both of these textboxes, so I'm going to delete this one here, and now let's paste in this information. Let's just resize this, and now let's make the font a bit smaller. Let's also move up this bullet point. And now let's move up these textboxes. So it's neater and there's less space. Let's now highlight what we just added. And now let's copy over the next job, starting with the name of the company, and when they worked at this job. As the first job was an independent freelance job, we didn't need to put the name of the company, but the next job was working with a company, so let's put this company information here. Now let's put the name of the job role, and also the duties for the job. Again, let's change the font size to match the text above. Let's duplicate this once more, and let's drag up this bullet point, so it matches the third title. Let's go back to the text document and highlight what we just added, and now add the third work experience information. So let's add the name of the company and the years they work there. Let's now add the name of the job role and the duties for the job. Let's click on the text boxes and make the font a bit larger. Now we have this space down here. Let's just move this all up slightly, so we have a bit more space down here. Let's now duplicate this education information and drag this down here. But before we move on, let's highlight what we just added. Okay, now we're going to add internship experience. Let's copy and paste this over here, and then add the information for the first company. So we have the name of the company and when they interned here. Let's now copy and paste over their duties for this internship. Now let's duplicate this, and now let's add their volunteer experience. Let's copy and paste over where it says volunteer experience. Now let's include where they volunteered and when they did. Let's duplicate this textbox, and let's unbold this and make the font a bit smaller. Now we're going to put the name or their volunteer experience. Now we're going to put down what they volunteer dos. Let's now add their duties. Let's just change the font here and make it a bit smaller to neaten this up. Okay, I'm just going to move the reference down here slightly. And now let's change the photograph. Depending on what country you're in and also what the job role is, you may or may not need to include a photograph. So be sure to research this before creating your resume. But for this example, we're going to include a photograph. So let's delete this previous photo, and now let's upload our photo. So let's click on loads and load files, and here we're going to choose our photo. So let's click and drag this over to the photo box. We don't need to include all this photo, so let's just drag this over, so we just see the head and shoulders really. Now let's click done. And now let's just move this over a little bit more so it's more in the center. Okay, let's zoom out and have a look at all this. So let's just have a quick check of this. So of course, I recommend proof reading and making sure the designs all fine before you send this to anyone. Okay. All that's good to me, looks professional and stylish. One last thing we're going to do is rename this in Canva to keep this organized. Okay, so that's an example of how to design a resume in Canva. Thanks for watching, and I'll see the next one. 30. Why are Presentations Useful?: Hi, and welcome to this section where you learn how to create a well designed and interesting presentation. So let's get started. Let's first talk about what a presentation is. So a presentation is a visual way to present information in a more creative manner. It consists of slides that can display texts, graphs, and images. Someone can then show this presentation and explain the points in the slide and can also expand on this information, just like what I'm doing now. Let's now talk about why a clear, concise, and well designed presentation can be useful. Time is important and people want to understand and digest information as fast as possible. So if you want to create presentation, then it's best to keep it clear and concise. Also, having a well designed presentation can make it more fun and can make it more exciting and less boring for the viewers. As I said, I recommend keeping it concise and not having too much text. Too much text can make the slides look cluttered and can take too long to read. Often the speaker will speak more than just the text on the screen. The text on the screen is usually a summary of what they will say for that slide. If all of the text is displayed on the slide and it's not summarized, then it can be difficult to understand and can bore the audience with too much text. A good presentation will be clearly designed and will use a combination of texts and photos and can also use graphs. This will make the presentation a lot more interesting and easier to understand, as well as to help the viewers remember the information. So who should use a presentation? A presentation is for anyone who needs to present in a visual way. This could be at work, for example. This could be used to train a team or to present new findings or ideas to managers, clients or customers. For example, someone who's a web developer may need to present to their clients about their requirements for any new projects. Students can also use presentations at their school or university. This allows them to present their work or research to other students or teachers. For example, the first photo shows someone presenting with a flow chart in front of their class. The second photo shows university students presenting their working class. Teachers. A presentation can also be displayed in a classroom or over a video conference on applications such as Zoom. The video presentation can be streamed live or recorded. For example, the video you're watching right now is a presentation. If the teacher uses a well designed presentation, it can be more interesting, and the information can be easier to digest with text summaries, images, and graphs, rather than just speaking the information or reading from a script. The first photo here shows a teacher speaking in front of their class with their presentation. The second photo shows a teacher hosting an online class with a presentation. YouTubers or content creators. All the presentation slides can be recorded and a voiceover added later. For example, the photo on the left shows all the presentation pages in camera. These can be exported as a video, and we can see this up here in the top right. All the voiceover audio can then be added to the slides in video editing software and then edited and published. Okay, so that's the end of this video. We've looked at what our good presentation is and how it can be useful. So I hope you enjoyed this video. So thanks for watching and I'll see the next one. 31. Tips to Make your Presentation Look Interesting: Hi there and welcome to this video, where we give you some tips on how to make your presentations more interesting. First of all, you will need to think about the topic for your presentation. Then you will need to summarize all of the important information and add this to your presentation slides. Remember, you don't need to add everything that you'll speak in your presentation. You only need to put the important sentences and phrases. Then you can add notes to help you elaborate on these important sentences and phrases while you present. Okay, let's now look at the image on the right. Here we've summarized all of the information, and we've only added the important sentences to this slide. Then we have the notes on the left, which only the presenter will see. The audience or viewers won't be able to see these notes. These notes can include more details or even the script for the presenter to read. Next, let's talk about the target audience for your presentation. For example, if you want to make a presentation for teaching children, you will need to adapt your design for them. So if it's for children, then the presentation should be fun with lots of photos and not too much text to try to keep the children's attention. You also need to think about your language and avoid using words or phrases that the children might not understand. You should also ensure that the photos and videos in the presentation are suitable for children. If your presentation showcases your research and your audience as teachers, you must ensure that the information is correct and reliable and that you attach any needed references. Using graphs to show the information can also help make the presentation look more professional and makes it easier to understand the data. I also don't recommend putting too much text on one page. If you have a lot of texts to include, I recommend summarizing it. You can always read out all of the text, but it can be too tiresome on the eyes and can make the presentation too dull and boring if there's just too much text on one page. I also recommend only putting one subject on each slide. Don't try to cover too much in one slide. Doing so will make the slide look too busy and messy. For example, both images on the left, summarize the buck page on the right. Here we separated them into two slides and only added the keywords. Next, choose a suitable font that's modern and easy to read. Don't try to make the font look too fancy. Remember, we want to make it easy to read. Also, the color of the font needs to stand out and not disappear into the background. For example, let's look at this image on the left. Here we're using a large modern font that's easy to read. We also use yellow and white colors for the font, so it stands out against the background, and this makes it easy to read. The image on the right uses less text and has icon images of applications. These images help make the slide look more interesting, and we use a yellow textbox which allows a black text to stand out and makes it easy to read. We also need to make sure that the text layout doesn't look messy. We want to make sure it's in the correct position, so the presentation looks well organized. Now let's talk about the background color for the slides. I recommend using colors that aren't too contrasting. The background color should be basic and soft. Let's have a look at these examples here. The first image has a white text box behind the text. This looks simple and stylish. The next slide image has a contrast in background color, and the white text has really gotten lost in the image. Then in the third image, we have the same background. We've added a white text box in front of this image and changed the text to black. Now we can clearly read the text, and it looks a lot neater. Next, I recommend that you use photos and graphs to explain things in a more interesting way. These can also make the data or information easier to understand. Let's have a look at these examples here. The graph on the left uses the same information as the graph on the right. So we have different types of graphs that we can use to display information or data. We also have a pie chart in the middle and something like this is easy to understand and looks quite interesting. I also recommend using photos and graphics related to the content we want to present. For example, the image in the top left is of a hotel, and this slide is about a hotel promotion. This makes the slide a lot more interesting than if it didn't have an image. The image in the bottom left is of a contact slide for the hotel. Here you can see that the person the image is on the phone, so we know this slide is about contact in the hotel. Then we have graphics in the top right, which are related to the hotel facilities. Here we have a graphic for the restaurant, swimming pool, and gym. Again, this is more exciting than just having text. Then we have the photos in the bottom right, which display the room types. People viewing this slide can see the photos of the rooms that they can rent. It's better to see this than just the text, so people know exactly what the rooms look like. Next, let's talk about attaching links or videos to the presentation. This allows you to show more information. For example, these could be links to your website or links to videos on sites like YouTube. This is more for a PDF or if someone is viewing your presentation in their own time. However, this could still be used if you want to show websites or play a video drawing your presentation. Let's have a look at these examples here. The example on the left links to a website. The link is attached to a software logo, so people can view or download it if they want to use the software too. So people can click on this logo and view the website for the software. Then we have the slide on the right, which has a YouTube video embedded into it. People can click on this to play the video, or that can be sent to YouTube where they can play the video. Also, you can attach a PDF flipbook link. This allows you to display a PDF book. With this, you can add additional information, and you can ask people to check out your flipbook link to learn more. You can also include a QR code links.com, which is u.com. Like this example here. With this, people can open their phones camera and access the link for a QR code. Add effects. In Canvas, you can use presentation effects to help make the presentation look more interesting. This can be especially useful if you're presenting to children, or you're presenting quite a dry or boring topic that you want to make a bit more interesting. For example, the video on the left shows some presentation effects. This has been made for children to make the video more interesting with some effects and hopefully hold their attention. And the last tip is to check and proof read your presentation. Doesn't look professional if you have spelling or grammatical mistakes in your presentation. So use the spelling and grammar checker such as grammarly to help you correct any mistakes. Okay, for that send of this video, where we've discussed some tips to help make your presentation look more interesting. I hope you found this video useful, and next, we'll design some presentations. So thanks for watching, and I'll see you there. 32. Demo-Making a Presentation : Okay, so on camera.com and I've typed in presentation. So here we have a lot of different templates. The template I'm going to choose is this one here. Let's click on this and click on Customize this template. So you can see here we have ten different pages. I actually just want to use one of these pages. And the page I want to use. Is this one here, page nine. So let's delete all the other pages and just use this. Let's first of all, change the color for this box. I'm going to choose a yellow color. Let's also change the color for the text. As this white color seems to get lost in this yellow. Let's change this to a black color. I'm going to delete all these text boxes here. So we just have the heading text. And now I'm going to click on all of these and resize these to make these a bit bigger. And now let's resize these so the images are a bit closer together. And let's also move the text and the box down. Now I'm going to change the color of these shapes and the corners. Let's choose the same yellow color. And I'm going to change the slide color as well. I want to create a purple color. So I'm going to actually choose my own custom color for this. So think around here should be good. Now I'm going to change the border color for these images. Let's choose a red pink color, and I'll choose my own color. Now let's duplicate this, and let's click on design on the left, and now I'm going to find another presentation template. I'm going to choose this one here. Feel free to choose your own. You don't have to use the exact same one as me. I just want to show you the different steps involved in making a presentation. Okay, so I don't want to add all of these 11 pages. I just want to add this one here. So let's click on this. Let's just close the side panel now so we have a bit more space. Let's now delete this image here and add my own image. So I'm going to click on loads, and then upload files. Here I have my own design that I created previously. And drag this over to add this. Okay, now I'm going to open up my PDF book, and I'm going to copy some of the texts from this PDF book to this presentation. I'll just type in this text here, but I can copy and paste it from the PDF as well, if I wish. Okay, let's just resize this, and let's change the color to this yellow color again. Let's just copy over this next text here. Remember it's command C on Mac or Control C on windows to copy, pressing Control V on windows or command V on Mac. Let's just resize this text now, let's just make this line a bit thicker. By clicking on this button here, and I'll increase the number. Okay, so that's how we started to make this presentation in Canva. In the next video, we'll continue making some demo presentation designs. So thanks watching, and I'll see you there. 33. Demo-Separate a Presentation: Case, and now let's continue working on this presentation design demo. In this video, we're going to turn a page from a PDF book into some slides. It's also better to summarize the information in the slide. You don't have to have all the information there, where it can be too much for the viewer. Okay, so let's get started. So I'm going to click Add page and Canva and let's change the color to a white color for this. Let's also add a shape. I'm going to use these shapes for the corners. Let's click on this, press the duplicate button, and put this in the bottom right corner as well. Let's copy the text from this slide and paste into this new slide. Let's chooe this text here called Montserrat. Let's now copy the title from this PDF page and paste it into this text box and that slide. I don't want this center alignment, I want the text to be on the left, and we can change this by clicking this button here. And let's capitalize the text by pressing this button here. Let's now duplicate this text box, and I don't want this bold. So we can press this B button again, so it's not bold. Let's readjust this to change the size. Let's actually choose another font. Let's chooe this one here called IBM Plex Mono. I don't want the text capitalized, so let's press this button up here again. Let's actually choose another font. Let's choose this of one called IBM Plex Sands. Okay, I think that's more suitable. Now let's copy and paste the text from the PDF into this textbox. I'm going to change the text here as it says in this video, as this is now a presentation. So let's just delete this and change it to say, let's have a look. Let's make the text fill the textbox by pressing the alignment button again. Let's now highlight the next set of texts that we're going to copy to our presentation. Before we paste this into our slide, I'm just going to change the line spacing for this title. Let's click on this, and let's click on the spacing button up here. Let's just make it a bit tighter, so we have a bit more space. Let's also add an element. We're going to choose this circle here, and by default, it's also the same purple color that we've already used, and we're going to leave it this color. We're going to duplicate the circles and add numbers to these, and then add the texts next to these. Let's duplicate these by pressing the duicate button, and let's have four, and let's make these a bit bigger. The next step is to add this text here, Let's copy the first one here and paste this in. Let's just resize this textbox and make this text bold, by pressing the B button up here. Let's just make this a bit bigger, and let's also change the color to this purple color. Let's duplicate the text again by pressing on this text and pressing the duplicate button. Let's now copy and paste the next one. And again, let's duplicate this and then copy and paste the third one. This one is a bit longer, so we need to resize this textbox. Let's actually make this text box on the left a bit smaller and then move the text on the right over, so we have a bit more space. Let's now duplicate the text box again, and then copy and paste the last one over. Let's now duplicate this textbox and type in the number one. Let's change the color to a white color. Let's choose a different font. Let's choose this Monster rat fort used before. And let's duplicate this, and this time it's going to be two. And let's duplicate this again and three, and duplicate again and four. Okay, let's now make the next slide. Let's change the slide color to purple. Let's make this title bold. Let's change the color to this yellow color we used before. Let's just resize this text box, and let's copy and paste the title from the PDF to the slide. Let's just drag over all of this and move this up, so we have more space. I'm just going to make the slide color a bit darker so the text stands out a bit more. So what we're doing now is we're expanding on the points we did before. I actually summarize the text from the PDF into a Google Doc. Let's actually copy over this summarized text as I think there's a bit too much text in this PDF for the slide. And copy this and paste this into the text box in the slide. Let's now change the alignment for the text with this button up here. Let's just click and drag on this to make this larger, and let's just resize this now. L et's also change the size for the title and resize this. I'm just going to delete this image here as I want to add the image from the PDF. So you can upload the image and drag in here. But for this example, we're going to add a screenshot. A screenshot may not be as high quality, but we're going to add it for this example. And now let's go on uploads and then click on load files and find the screenshot, which by default, saved to my desktop. And let's add this now. Let's now add this to the placeholder image, and you can see it snaps into place. Okay, so that's how we made some more slides for this demo presentation. I hope you found this video useful, and I'll see you in the next one. 34. Demo-Add Link to a Presentation: Okay, so now let's have a look at how to add links to your slides. Before we add a links, let's just edit one of the slides that we made previously. So now I'm going to copy this title from the PDF and paste it in here. Let's just resize the text box, so it covers this text. Let's just adjust the line spacing by pressing the spacing button here and adjusting line spacing. So it's a bit tighter and we have a bit more space. Let's adjust this now. And let's delete these images that we had here. Let's just replace these titles with the titles in our PDF. Let's copy and paste the first one here, and then the second one. Then the third one. And then the fourth one. Then I want to add four icon images into the slide. Let's click on loads on the left, and then click on load files to add our files. This is saved under my downloads. And I'm going to select all four here and then click open. Let's click on the first image and drag this over to the first placeholder image. Let's just change the size slightly, so we can't see this text at the bottom. And now let's click and drag over the next image. Okay, this one's pretty good. And now let's click and drag over the next image. We do have this white background around this image, which I don't like. So let's remove this now by going up to edit image, and then click on Background removal. Okay, That's better now. Let's click on Uploads again. Let's now click on the next image and drag this over to the placeholder image. Okay, I think this is good now. Now we're going to add links onto each of these images. So M Google Docs, I have the links to the software, so people may wish to click on these to learn more about the software. Let's copy over the first link, then go back to our camera presentation, and then right click on the image and go to Link. Now let's paste on this link and press done. So you can see here we have this link, and if we click on this, it goes to the manufacturer's website. Let's just close this and do the same for the next image. So now Google Doc, we have this link here, so let's copy this. And then re click on the next image. Then go to Link, pace the link in here, and then press Done. Let's do this for the third image now. So let's go back to our Google Doc and then copy the link for the third image. Re click on the image, go to Link, and pace this and here and press done. Again, for the fourth image, we have the link here, so let's copy this link. Re click on the image, go to Link, pace the link in here, then press done. One more thing I'm going to do for this video is just move this title over to the right, so it's more centered. Okay, so that's how you can add links to a presentation. I hope you find this video useful, and I'll see in the next one. 35. Demo-Attached YouTube to Presentation: Okay, so now let's have a look at how to attach a YouTube video to your presentation. Before I add the YouTube video, I'm just going to quickly design the slide, and then we'll add the video. So here we have a blank slide with a purple background. Let's first of all, go to elements and add a shape. Let's choose the square shape, and let's change the color to yellow, the same color we used before. I'm just going to resize this and put it in the corner, just to make the slide look a bit more interesting. I'm now going to duplicate this and put it in the bottom right. Let's just change this color to white to make it a bit different. Now let's copy over the title text from the slide above and paste this into our new slide. Let's now change the text to say Logic Pro, which is about the video we're about to add. Let's see what this is like when it's not bold. However, I preferred bold, so let's press this B button again. Let's also change this color, and let's make the text larger. However, let's change it to this yellow color again. Now let's add some text effects to make it a bit more interesting. So let's click on shadow, and let's change the shadow to a black color. Let's also increase the offset and the transparency, and let's also adjust the direction. Let's now increase the size of this title text again. And now we've designed the slide. Let's add this YouTube video. To find a YouTube video in Canva, you all need to have the exact title name. Alternatively, you can find a video for the YouTube channel name. So here my Google Doc, I have the name of the exact video I want to use. So let's copy this now and go back to Cava, and let's now click on Apps. Let's now type it in YouTube. And then click on YouTube. Now let's click on Open. And now I'm going to paste in the exact name of the video. And here it is the one at the top. So let's click on this now to add this to our slide. Let's now see what this looks like if you're presenting it live. So let's click on present in the top right, and then go down to present. Now someone can click on this video in this slide to play about this video. You can also click on this link here, which will take you to YouTube where you can play the video from there. Okay, let's just go back to our presentation, and that's how you can add a YouTube video to your camera presentation. So that's in this video. Thanks watching, and I'll see in the next one. 36. Demo-How to Create Charts by Canva: So here we have a blank slide. Let's now copy and paste this text box over to our blank slide. I'm just going to change the color to white so we can see this clearer on this purple background. L et's change the text now. So we have the information for our presentation in this Google Doc, and I'm going to copy this text here, and then paste it into this textbox for this slide. Let's cut the text at the bottom and paste this into a separate textbox later on as I want to change the font and the size of this. Okay, let's now resize this textbox, and let's just duplicate this, and now let's paste in the text that we've cut before. I'm going to unbold this by pressing this button here, and let's make the smaller and resize this. I'm also going to change this two another fonts. Let's try this one called IBM Plex Sands, and I don't want to have the text in capital letters. So let's press this button here. Let's just click and drag over both of these textboxes and drag them down. Let's put this on a separate line by pressing Enter. Again, let's resize this and make this a bit smaller. Let's click and drag over these and put it down slightly again. Okay, let's now add a chart. So let's go over to elements, and then go down to charts, and let's have a look at some more of these by clicking, C A. So here we have a bar chart, and let's have a look at a few more of these by pressing, C A. This one here is fine, so let's click to add this. Let's just move this over to the right and resize this. And up here, we can change the colors, and we can also change the column spacing with this slide here. So let's drag this to the right to make a bit more space between the columns. We can also change the roundness of the columns with this slide here. But for this, I think about here's fine. Okay, let's go back to our text documents, and here we have the information for our chart. Let's now copy and paste information for our bar chart. So here we have different names of microphones. And with this bar chart, we can compare the price of the microphones. Where it says Series one. Let's paste in what we just copied from our Google Doc. So this is the first microphone, and let's go back to our Google Doc and copy the next microphone name, and then paste this into where it says, Series two. And the same for the third one. Let's copy this and paste this into where it says Series three. Let's just change the colors of these bars quickly. A. Something like this looks more suitable. You'll notice here that we don't have the information for this microphone, which says, Sure SM seven B. You can see here above it says ABC. We want to have this display numbers rather than letters, and then go to settings. Now here we have values, and let's now add Sore SM seven B. If we click on this, we have this error icon appear. So now we need to click on this and change the data type from text to number. Let's now change the labels to s. Let's copy and paste this over from our Google Doc to the label section here. So we want to add a fourth label. So let's add this as well. We can't see this appear yet, so let's go over to settings, and let's click on Select and Option and choose labels. And now we can see this update in our Bar chart. Okay, now we're going to add the price for each of these microphones. I'm just going to remember these and put these in manually. Et's do the same for the next microphone. We have these numbers here. Let's remember these and put these in. You can copy and paste, but just to keep this video concise, I'll just remember these and type them in. Let's change the color for this next bar. Okay, there we go. There's our bar chart. Let's now duplicate this and create another type of graph. This time we're going to choose a line chart. And you can see here actually uses the same information that we had in our bar chart. And you can change the colors for these lines, and let's do this now. Okay, so once you've added the information to your chart, you can quickly swap between the different chart types, and you'll keep this information. Okay, let's have a look at another example. So let's delete this line chart, and let's now change the text here for our other example. Let's now look at shopping expenses. So let's copy where it says expenses in our Google Doc, and now paste this into our textbox in our new slide. Let's just move this up here, and let's actually change the slides color. Now it's quite hard to read this text. So let's change this to a darker color. Okay. I think this blue color looks good. Let's now go to elements and add a shape. Let's just resize this, and now let's change the corner rounding with this slider here. Again, let's change the color, at this time, let's choose our own color. Let's just change the text to say week one, and let's make this text bold. Let's now change the font to something different. Let's choose this text called Monst that's pretty good. Let's just resize this, and let's change the color to black. Let's move this up here, so it's on top of this shape. However, let's change the text to something different. Let's choose this one called Montas Arabic. Okay, I think that's suitable now. Let's just resize this box. And let's nudge the text up with the up arrow on our computer keyboard. Let's just click and drag over the text in the shape, and let's reposition this. Okay, let's now add a pie chart. Let's click on elements and then go down to charts, and then click on C O. Now let's add one of these pie charts. Let's click on this and let's resize it. So you can see here we can change the individual colors for each segment of the pie chart. So let's change these colors now. Okay, I think this is suitable, and let's now change the information for the pie chart. Let's actually change this to different shopping expenses. So let's copy the first one, and let's paste this into where it says item one. You'll notice we have a number next to each of these as well. Let's just type in the number as well, which is 20. The next one, which is food. Let's copy and paste this over to item two, and type in the number here. And then the next one bills. Let's do the same. And the next one medicine. Let's do the same again. And the fifth one, let's copy this over, which is others. Let's add the number here. Okay, let's just click on this, and I'm going to keep the font as it is, but let's actually make it italic by selecting the italic button here. Let's also change the font color. Let's choose this blue color. But let's actually choose this purple color, which is from a photograph in this presentation. Let's now add an infographic, which will display the information from this pie chart as well. So let's click on elements. And in the charts area here, it says infographic charts. Let's click on CL, and let's choose this progress bar. And let's just resize this. And here we can change the percentage and the line weights. So let's change this 211.8, so it matches the same percentage amount as where it says shopping in the Pie chart here. Let's just change the color, so it's the same color as shopping in the Pie chart. L et's also change the second color to white for this progress bar. Let's make the line wait a bit bigger, and let's actually duplicate this. Let's just click and drag over both of these and reposition them. Let's duplicate this text box above, and I don't want to have this bold, and let's just resize this. Okay, let's duplicate this text, and let's change this to say food. Let's also change this color here, so it matches with the food color in the pie chart. Let's now duplicate this progress bar, and also this text box, and let's rename this to the next one, which is bills. Again, let's update this percentage, so this should be 17.6, so it's the same percentage as in the Pie chart. Let's also change the color, so it's the same color as in the pie chart. Let's actually click and drag over both of these now and duplicate both the text box and the progress bar at the same time. Let's now change this to the next one, which is medicine. Let's click on the progress bar, and change the color to match the color in the pie chart. Again, let's click and drag over both of these and duplicate them. Before we continue, let's update the percentage for medicine. So this is 23.5%, which is the same as the pie chart. Okay, let's now do the last one, which is others. So let's click on this progress bar, and change the percentage to 35.3, so it's the same as the pie chart. Let's just click and drag over all of these and resize and reposition them. Let's just change the color for the last progress bar. Let's change it to this red color, which is the same as the pie chart. Okay, so we're now at the end of this video, and there's a few different examples of how to add charts in Canva. So thanks for watching, and I'll see the next one. 37. Demo-How Notes is Useful for a Presentor View: Okay, so now, let's have a look at how to use the present of view in camera. So if you want to present in front of a classroom, online or even record a video, learning how to use a present of view can be really useful. Here we have this presentation with these free images and the summarized text here. We also have notes for the slide. So we can access these by pressing notes in the bottom left. This could be the script for the slide. So the viewer will just see the summarized notes on the right, but you can read the script inside the notes area. This way, you're keeping the text on the slide quite concise, but you'll still read out all of the information from the notes. So I can expand on the summarized text, and I can talk about each photograph here. Let's now have a look at the presenter view, and we can access this by pressing, present in the top right. Let's press presenter view here, and you can see it says here, view your notes on upcoming slides. And let's view these by pressing present. So here we have two windows. The window on top is the audience window. So it says here, this window is what your audience sees. Drag it to the screen your audience will be looking at and enter full screen mode. So if you have two computer monitors, you could put this on one monitor, or if you have your computer connect to projector. You could project this, so the audience just sees this audience window. Also, if you're using the application such as Zoom, you could have the viewer view this window. As well, if you want to record your presentation, you could just record only this window. Let's close this for now though, and for now, we're just working with one screen or one monitor. So for this example, let's not make this full screen. Fou, let's reposition these so we can see the audience window and the presenter window on the same screen. And here it says, This window is just for you. Place it on the screen only you can see, such as your laptop or a fall back monitor. By the way, a fallback monitor is a screen that's facing the stage. This is not for the audience. This is for the speaker on stage to view. Okay. Let's close this pop up for now though. Let's just resize these so we can see the presenter and audience window on the same screen. So you can see here we have our notes. So you can look at these to remind you of what to say next, or you can even read these as a script. We can also change the text size down here. We can also see what slide is next down here as well. Okay, so there's a quick overview of the presenter view in Canva. Thanks for watching, and I'll see the next one. 38. Demo-How to Use a Presentor View in Canva with Zoom: Okay, so now let's have a look at how to use the presenter view a Zoom. So if you want to teach an online class or present something on Zoom, using the camera present of view can be really useful. So let me show you how to set this up now. So again, we need to go to the presenter view in Canva. We can do this by clicking present in the top right, and then select and present a view and present. So again, we have the two windows, the presenter window, and the audience window. So what we want to do is just display the audience window in Zoom. So let me show you how to do this now. For the sake of this demonstration, let's just resize this. But if you do have additional monitors or screens, you could put the presenter window on one monitor and the audience window on another. Again, for this example, let's just resize this, so they're both on the same screen. So in the presenter window, we can click between the different slides, and this will update in the audience window. Okay, let's now go to Zoom. So right now I'm running a Zoom meeting, and now let's go to Share screen at the bottom of Zoom. So here we can share a desktop, so we can actually share our Google Chrome Windows. So you can see down here we have the presenter view and the audience window. So what we can do is we can actually share just the audience window, and then we can view the presentation window. However, we can also share just a segment of the screen, if you wish. I'll quickly show you how to do this now. To do this, we need to go over to the Advance tab and then select portion of screen. And then press share. So this, we can select what era we want to share. As I said previously, we can just share the entire audience window, which may be simpler. But if you just want to share a certain segment of a window, you can do this. So for this example, let's drag this over the slide for the audience window, so you can resize this by clicking and dragging on the sizes and corners. So we can see here in Zoom. It says you are screen sharing. We can press this error button here to view what we're sharing. So now if I select a different slide in the presenter window, it'll update on the audience window. And you can also see this update and Zoom for our screen sharing preview. And remember, we can stop sharing by pressing the sop share button. Okay, so there's an overview of the presenter view in camera, and that's so you can also set up in Zoom. Using the notes in the presenter view can be really useful when presenting. So that's in this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see in the next one. 39. Demo - Display Flipbook in a Presentation: Okay, so now let's have a look at how to add a flip book to your presentation. Let's click on Apps on the side here and type in Flip book in the search. And let's click on the issue app. And issue allows you to create interactive digital flip books. We can also choose bed, which allows you to embed your flip book into your website or presentation. However, bed is a paid feature. Let's now click Connect down here. But we're going to connect issue with Canva. Let's click on Connect again. And if you don't have an issue account, you can sign up here. It is free to sign up. There are these paid plans. But it does have a free plan that you can use. This one doesn't have as many features. For example, you can only publish five documents, whereas the other plans, you get unlimited documents. We can also only add 50 pages per upload, and we have a maximum file size of 50 megabytes. However, for this example, the free plan should still be fine, so let's use this. Then you'll need to create your issue account, so you can add your first name, last name, e mail address, issue user name, which is your custom URL, and also your password. Then if you agree to the terms of service, you can check this box here, and then click, sign up. Then after this, you'll need to confirm your e mail address. Okay, now signed up to issue. We do have this pop up here for this. I'm going to select education, and then click next. Let's close this pop up now. And let's click on Upload in the top left. Now we're going to add a PDF file. For this example, I have a few pages from my audio recording book. So let's let this here and click open. So let's now add this and turn this into a flip book. Down here on the right, we can add a title. It also says here that two links were automatically detected in your document text. So you can add these as clickable links by pressing this add links button here. But for now, I'm just going to leave this. We can also add a description down here. But for now, I'm just going to leave this and click Add later. We can choose to have this live on issue or publish this privately. For this, though, let's leave this live on issue. And now let's click publish. If you agree to their terms of service, you can check this box here and then press publish. You'll also need to confirm here that you hold the necessary copyrights for your flip book. You can click on where it says Copyright to find out more about this, though. But for this example, I'm going to select, confirm and publish. Okay, a flip book is now published. Let me just show this ined function now, so we can click I Bed here. However, this is a paid function, and you can't use this with a free plan. You cannot re grade if you wish, but I want to use this with the free plan. Embed function might be useful, though, as it will appear on your website rather than clicking to the issue site. But as I said, I just want to use a free plan, so let's not use this. Let's go back over to the share function here, and what we're going to do is we're going to share this link. So people can click on this link, then they will send them over to issue, where they can view this flip book. This may not be as smooth as embedding it directly, but we can use it with a free plan. So I've copied a link, and let's now paste this into our presentation. So here it is, and let's just resize this. So now we can click on this and it'll send us over to our issue page, where we can view our flip book. We can also display a QR code if you wish. So someone can scan the QR code, and it'll send them over to the issue page where they can also view the flip book. So let's now download this QR code and add this to our presentation as well. Let's go back over to our presentation, and let's click on loads and load files and add this QR code. We just downloaded. Resize these, and I'll quickly show you now how to do this on the phone camera. So you can scan the QR code with your camera in the camera application or with a scan reader application. Then this will display your issue flipbook link. So let me show you how to do this now. Once we scan this, you can see the link appear, and this again, will go to our flip book. In our flip book, we can tap the left and right arrow buttons to move between pages. If we make the flip book full size, we can flick with our finger to go between the pages. We can also zoom in and out on the flip book by pinching and dragging with our fingers. Okay, so that's how you can add a flip book to your presentation. Thanks for watching, and I'll see in the next one. 40. Stickers Introduction: I am welcome to this section where learn how to create stickers for instant messenger applications such as what SAP and Line. We'll also give you some best practices for creating stickers in Canva. Okay, so let's get started. In this introduction video, we'll talk about what stickers are. So a sticker is a customized graphic that allows you to add personality and humor to a message conversation. These can help make a conversation more fun and creative. We can create stickers for what SAP and line and also for some other instant messenger apps. Now let's have a look at some stickers from Facebook Messenger Line and WhatsApp. Facebook Messenger doesn't allow us to create our own stickers, but it does have avatar stickers, which allow us to create our own character, which can help add personality to chats. Okay, so that's the end of this introduction video. Next, we'll have a look at how to create stickers and Whatsapp. Thanks watching, and I'll see you there. 41. How to Creates Stickers in WhatsApp: Okay, so now let's talk about Whatsapp. This is instant messenger service that allows you to send text messages, voice messages, and video messages, and make voice and video calls. It's also very popular in many countries worldwide. Whatsapp can also be used on a computer or tablet, but it's most commonly used on a smartphone. WhatsAp does have a few stickers to use, but currently, I don't think they have the best designs. However, whatsap does have a create feature, but this is quite limited. Let's now have a look at how to use stickers and Whatsapp. We can use free stickers by clicking here on the icon on the right. From here, we have more free stickers, and you can click to download these if you like. You can also get free stickers by installing a sticker application. However, some of these sticker applications often have issues as sometimes the stickers disappear after a period of time, and you will need to download them again. As I said before, you can create your own stickers inside WhatsApp, but the design possibilities are quite limited, and there aren't many MODs for you to use. Let's now have a look at this example. We can slip create to make our own sticker. WhatsApp has a function here that allows us to create stickers, such as this CAP photo. For example, in this design, we've added texts and emojis to this photo. We can also remove the background like in this next image, and we can send this sticker as a message and Whatsapp. However, I don't think it's the best background removal tool, and as you can see in this image, we can still see parts of the background. We can add texts to the sticker, but the fonts are quite basic, and the Emojis are also basic, and it's quite hard to make unique or creative stickers with this in my opinion. Also, we can't crop or choose which areas we want to remove the background from. We also don't have any image editing tools such as exposure or contrast. Okay, let's now discuss how to create stickers in another application or website and how to upload them to the sticker Mau application. This application stores your stickers, which you can use in Whatsapp, and also iMssage, if you have an iPhone. With this application, we can upload our PNG images. Then we can create our own sticker designs in Canva, and then export these as PNG images and upload them to the Sticker Maker application. This gives you more creative possibilities as Canva has many features that allow us to create fun and interest in stickers. Let's take a look at these examples. The first image features two designs that we created in Canva, the crying cat, and the Curt Cat sticker design. These were then exported out of Canva as PNG files with transparent backgrounds. Then the second image here is of the sticker maker application. This is the application where we will upload all of our stickers. The next image shows our crying cat design. In this application, we can corrupt the image and add more text if we wish. From our testing, the app is slightly different in IOS and Android. But in the IOS version, there are a few different fonts and ways to customize the text. But Canva has many more ways to customize the text. Then the fourth image is of our sticker pack inside the stick and Mer application. We can add these stickers to WhatsAp by uploading the image, then cropping the image, then saving it as a new sticker pack, and then selecting Add to WhatsApp, which will add this sticker pack to WhatsApp. Then you'll be able to send these stickers to your chats and Whatsapp if you wish. Okay, so that's sending this video, we've looked at how to create your own stickers and Whatsapp. In the next video, we'll look at line stickers and the line sticker Maker application. So thanks for watching and I'll see you there. 42. Line Stickers and the Line Sticker Maker Application: In this lesson, we will teach you how to create your own stickers that you can use in line. So what is line? Line is an instant messenging application, popular in Thailand, Japan, and Taiwan. This application offers many different types of stickers for purchase, and you can also upload your own stickers to line. People can also become a line creator and sell their own stickers on this application. Now let's have a look at some different types of line stickers. The image on the left displays some regular or normal stickers. The image in the middle shows some stickers that have movement, and some of these can also have sound too. Then the images on the right are stickers that you can put your name on. So how can you use stickers in line? The images on the left are examples of free stickers that you can download in line, but there are conditions for free stickers. For example, you may need to add a new contact to line before you can download stickers for free. Also, free stickers have a time limit, so they cannot be used forever. You may also need to answer questions in exchange for some free stickers. These are to help brands improve their products. So just be aware that the free stickers do have some conditions. Okay, then the image on the right shows stickers that can be purchased from the line sticker shop? The paid stickers will not have the conditions like the free stickers, and they'll be yours to use on your line account for as long as you wish. However, these are not free, and they do cost money. Next, let's have a look at how to create stickers with the line sticker make application. This is available for Android and IOS. Once you've made your stickers, you can use them in line, or you can apply to sell them online if you wish. Let's have a look at these examples. The first image is a photo of a cat, and we've chosen a heart frame for it. The next image has the background removed. Then in the next image, we've added a purple brush and text. This application, lets us see a preview of the sticker in a chat as shown in the next image. We can select the X button if you want to edit the sticker more, or we can select Save, and then it will go to this page here, which is the collections page. Okay, so that end of this video, we've looked at line stickers and a line sticker make it application. In the next video, we'll look at how to create stickers and Canva for lines creator's market. So thanks watching, and we'll see you there. 43. How to Create Stickers in Canva for Line's Creator Market: Hi there and welcome to this video, where we'll look at how to create stickers in Canva, the Lines creators market. So we can also create stickers and other applications such as Canva, and then upload them to the Line creators market. The image on the left is of stickers that we created in Canva. Then we have the image on the right, which is the Line creators market. This is a website where people can upload stickers that they've created. Let's now have a look at some reasons to create stickers. Stickers allow you to communicate with more emotion and can be a fun and creative way to express your feelings. People will search for stickers to express their feelings, but they may not be able to find the exact sticker they want to use. You can create and sell stickers that might be useful for people to express their emotions in messaging conversations. For example, this sticker collection called crazy Little Monkey displays different emotions and feelings, which are shock, missing someone, hunger, and anger. So there are a lot of different types of emotions that can be expressed in the sticker collection, that's also fun and cute as it has graphics of a little monkey. Some people also create stickers with their faces or pets to make their stickers unique, and these can be fun and interesting to send the messages. Also, you don't have to sell your stickers in line. You can choose to keep your stickers private and not sell them, so only you have access to them. For example, these are private stickers. These can be used in messages to show anger or show that you're sorry. We also made this cat sticker that says hello, this pig sticker that says good morning, and we also have this sad cat sticker. Okay, let's now talk about the different steps involved in making stickers. So you may have these questions before you make your first sticker. These questions are, how can I create stickers? Which tools can help me create stickers? How can I design stickers fast? And the answer to all of these questions is CVA. CMVA allows you to create great looking sticker designs quickly. Okay, let's now go over the first step, which is to find the sticker for each application. In this example, we can see lines requirements for images. This guide allows you to prepare your images, so they're at the best size. Let's have a look at these images now. The main image is this image here. The sticker images are the actual stickers themselves. Then the chat thumbnail icon is the icon that's shown in the sticker tab, so the image where you select your different sticker collections. The next step is to decide what type of sticker you want to design. For example, this could be a cartoon animal, a person's face, or an animal's face. Then you want to think about how many stickers you want to design for your collection. For example, you could have eight, 16, 24, 32, or 40 stickers. The next step is to list all the characters you want to create for your collection. Let's just have a look at this graphic of this notebook on the right. So you can have a character for hello. Thanks, Wow, sad, hungry, miss you. Good night, by, no, okay, angry, and busy. If you want to create the stickers to sell, then I recommend that you keep the same character to keep the collection thematic and consistent. Let's have a look at this collection here. All characters are the same monkey. They will have the same free tufts of hair, the same markings across the stomach, and the same hair color and skin tone. If you use a mixture of different faces and animals, your collection will look messy and may confuse people and can make them not purchase your sticker collection. The next step is to create your sticker size in Canva. In Canva, you can create your own custom size for your design. The next step is to think about copyright. To avoid this problem, or recommend using images where you know you're 100% allowed to use them. For example, in Canva, you have access to many different copyright free images. So don't just save images from Google images without checking for their permission. Make sure you can use images before you add them to your design. The next step is to export your image as a PNG with a transparent background. In Canva, we can export with a transparent background. So when you export, make sure you select transparent background. However, this is only for the pay version of Canva Canva Pro. There are other sites such as removed BG that you can use to remove backgrounds from images for free. So once you do this, you'll have a PNG image that has a transparent background. The last step is to upload your stickers to the line creators market. Attach this video is a resource that includes a link to Lines Help Center with details about submitting a sticker for review. I recommend checking this out if you want more information about submitting your sticker set. Okay, so that's the end of this video. We've looked at how to create stickers and Canva for Lines creators markets. I hope you found this video useful, and next, we'll design some stickers together. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you there. 44. Let's Create a Sad Cat Sticker from a Pet Photo: Okay, so now let's have a look at how to create an animal sticker in Canva. So you should be able to follow along with this and apply the skills we teach you to your own image. So if you have your own pet, you can upload your pet image and create a sticker from this. Okay, so let's get started. So in Camber, we're going to create a custom size. We're going to choose 370 pixels by 320 pixels, which is the size we need to create stickers in line. So let's click on create new Design. And now we have our blank design. I'm just going to click up here to rename this. Now let's click on loads and upload that image. I did get this image from f pick.com. However, you can add your own image, for example, an image of your pet. Let's upload this image now. Let's add this to our design. Okay, let's just resize this. Let's now remove the background, by clicking on dit image, background remover. As I said, if you're not using Camera Pro, the website such as remove dot Bg, which will remove your background for free. Okay, let's now add some elements. This design is going to be called SadCat, so I'm going to make it look like the cat's crying. So I'm going to type in Tire. And now under graphics, I'm going to select C all. We have this one here, which will make the cat look like it's crying. So let's choose this one. Let's rotate this and place this in the correct place. Okay, let's now add another element. Let's type in comic for this. As I do want to add some comic style graphics to make this seem a bit more fun and playful. Let's choose this one here, and let's just resize this. And of course, it is in front of the cat, so we'll need to re click on this and then go to layer, and then go to Center B. And now it's behind the cat. Let's just resize on adjusts now. There you go, there's a sticker that are quickly made in Canva. That's send this video, thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one. 45. Let's Create Hello Cat Sticker from a Pet Photo: So now let's have a look at how to create another animal sticker in Cava. So this video might be useful if you have a pet, and you want to create a sticker from a photo of them. Okay, let's get started. So with Canva here, we have a blank presentation, and let's go over to uploads and upload that image. This image is from free pick.com, but you can upload your own image if you wish. Let's just crop this, let's remove the background by clicking on edit image and background removal. Now let's resize this image, and let's actually add a filter to change the colors for this image. Let's click on edit image and go down to the filters here. Let's choose this one, but I think the intensity is a bit too much. So let's reduce the intensity. Okay, let's now add an element to this design. For this, I want to add the textbox, so it looks like the cat is saying something. So here we can add a textbox. But I actually want to choose another text box. Let's choose this one here. Let's reposition this. So looks like the cat is saying something. Let's now change the colors. Let's choose this yellow color, and a dark brown for the second color. Let's now add some text. So let's click on text and select add a heading. Let's type in hello. Let's now change the font. I'm going to click on the search bar. So let's choose a handwriting style font as this looks a bit more informal and friendly. Let's choose this one, and let's reposition the text. Let's now add an effect to the text. So let's click on effect up here, and let's choose a shadow effect. Let's change the shadow color to white, so it stands out a bit more and let's adjust the offset and transparency, so we can see the shadow a bit clearer. Let's just rotate this now, so it matches with the graphic behind it. And let's just adjust both of these now. As the graphic is covering the cat, let's make the cat go in front of the graphic. Let's right click on this image, go to layer, and then bring to front. Okay, let's just resize this slightly. Okay, now I'm going to add some more graphics to make it a bit more fun. L et's type and bling, and let's choose this one here. We also have some magic recommendations. So let's select Sal and have a look at these. Before we add another one, let's resize the one we just added. I'm also going to flip this horizontally and rotate this. Let's also change the colors. Okay, I'm going to add another one now. Let's choose this. I don't think this is quite suitable, so let's try another one. Let's just resize and rotate this. Okay, I think this works now, and that's how can quickly make a sticker in camera from a photograph. Thanks for watching this video, not seeing the next one. 46. Let's Create Morning Pig Sticker by using Pet Photo: Case, and now let's have a look at how to create another sticker from a picture of an animal. Let's now upload a photograph that we have. And again, you can apply what we teach you to your own photographs. Here we have a picture of a pig, and this image is from freepik.com. Again, let's crop this, and let's edit the image and remove the background. Let's just resize this. And let's add elements. As the pig was leaning on something in the photograph, let's have it lean on something again, where it might look a bit unnatural. For this, let's have it lean on the sign. So in the elements, let's type in sign. This graphic here looks fine, so let's select this, but we do want to have this behind the pig. Let's right click on this and go to Layer, sent to back. And now let's reposition these images, so it looks like the pig is leaning on the sign. Now let's add some text to the sign. So let's click on text, and then click on Add a Heading. For this, let's type in morning. Again, let's change this to a handwritten font as it looks a bit more friendly. Let's now add the effect to this text, to make it a bit more interesting and to make it stand out a bit more. So let's click on effects, and let's use this shadow effect. Let's now change the text color, and let's choose this yellow color. Let's go back to the text effect and edit this. So let's increase the transparency, so we can see this a bit clearer, and let's also adjust the offset. And the direction of the text shadow. I'm just going to choose another color now just to see the difference. However, I do quite like this yellow color, but I'm going to choose my own custom color up here. I also want to add a filter to the sin graphic. Let's click on this image and then go up to addit image. And here we can choose filter to adjust the colors. Okay, I think that looks a bit more suitable now. Okay, let's now add some elements to this design to make it a bit more interesting. As this sticker is to say good morning to someone, let's add a sun graphic. So under elements, let's type in sun and choose one of these graphics. This one looks quite fun, so let's choose this. Let's just resize this and put this in the top left. Let's add another graphic now, Let's type in cloud. Let's add this cloud image now. Let's duplicate this a few times, and let's resize these. Let's just rotate and flip this cloud horizontally. Let's just change the cloud color now. As I don't think black's very suitable. If we choose this white color, the clouds will still be there. As when we export this, we'll export this as a PNG image with a transparent background. However, I'm going to add my own color, let's choose a light blue color. Just be aware if you're going to use these stickers in a line application, the standard color for chats is blue. So if you have any blue color in your design, then it may get lost in the chat screen. Let's actually change these clouds to a slightly lighter light blue to make the design seem a bit brighter. Let's add in another element, so let's now choose some flower graphics. I prefer this design here, so let's delete this one and use this instead and flip this horizontally to balance out the design. Let's add another flower graphic and put this in the bottom left. Let's now duplicate this and put this in the bottom right and flip this again to balance out the design. Let's just change the color of these flowers to add a bit of variation to these designs. Okay, now at the end of this video, where we made another sticker design from a photograph of the animal. Thanks to watching this video, and I'll see the next one. 47. Let's Create an Angry Face Sticker from a Photo: There and welcome to this video, where we're going to look at how to create a sticker from a photograph, which could be a photograph of yourself or someone that you know. So here we have a blank design, and let's now upload image. So let's click on uploads and low files. Here I have an image from freepik.com, but you can upload your own image if you wish. You can use the skills we teach you and apply them to your own image. So let's now add this image to our design. Let's just crop this, and let's actually remove the background. So let's click on edit image and then select background remover. Let's just make this a bit bigger, and you can see that it hasn't actually removed the background perfectly. We can still see some of the background around the hair. So under edit image, we can click on background mover again, and then we can manually erase the background. Let's just make the brush size a bit smaller, and let's just manually remove the background, which is around the hair. Okay, I think that's a bit better now. Now let's click back and add an element. So under elements, let's type in Angry. And under graphics, let's select see all. You can use your sticker to display any image you wish. But for this example, let's have the sticker display anger. Let's just resize this. And now let's type in fire. So I'm going to have a fire graphic behind the person. So we need to right click on this and then go to layer, and then go sender back. And now let's increase the size. However, let's use another graphic and we have this one here under magic recommendations, which I like more. Let's let this. Again, we want this behind the person, so let's right click on this and go to Layer, sender back. Again, let's resize this to make it bigger. And for this, let's flip this horizontally. Let's just reposition these elements now. I'm just going to change this color so it's a different color from the fire, so it doesn't get lost in the design. I'm going to add another element now. I want to add a question mark. This one here is fine. Let's have one on each side. By clicking on this image and pressing the duplicate button. Let's now move this to the left and resize and reposition this. Okay, so that's the end of this video. We've created a sticker from an image of a person. Thanks for watching, and I'll see in the next one. 48. Let's Create a Sorry Face Sticker from a Photo: Okay, so now let's have a look at how to create another sticker from a picture of a person. So this could be a picture of you or someone that you know. Okay, so let's get started. Here we have a blank page and camera, and here we have an image from f pick.com. However, this could be another photo, for example, photo of you, or someone that you know. Let's just crop this image and resize it, and then remove the background. We can do this by clicking on edit image and then go to background removal. Okay, let's just resize this again, and let's position this to the left. Now let's add an element, so let's click on elements, and let's add a textbox. Let's now add a speech bubble, so it looks like the person is saying something. Let's choose this one, and let's flip this horizontally. Let's not add some text to add to the speech bubble. Let's click on text and select add a heading. Now I'm going to type in the word, sorry. So we can use the sticker to display a certain emotion. Let's just change the font to something more handwritten, so it looks more personal. Okay, so now let's add the effect to the text, so it stands out a bit more. So let's click on effects and choose a shallow effect. But for now, let's adjust the offset. Let's also adjust the transparency, so we can see the shadow a bit more. Let's choose white for the shadow. Let's also change the color for the speech bubble. Let's change it to a green color. However, I don't think this color is quite suitable, so let's choos our own custom color. Okay, I think that looks better now. Let's go back to the text effects and increase the transparency for the shadow, so we can see this shadow even more. Let's now add another element. So the elements, we have some magic recommendations, and let's choose one of these. Let's just change the color of this element by clicking on the color up here, and let's choose a yellow color. Let's choose this one. Let's duplicate this element now and move it over to the top left. Let's duplicate this again, and move it to the middle, and let's add one more and rotate this. Let's rotate and resize this one as well. Let's actually duplicate this a few more times to fill in the space in the bottom right. Okay, let's just resize and move this around, to fill in the space. Again, let's add one more and let's flip this horizontally this time, so it looks a bit different. Okay, so there you go, so that's how you can make another sticker from a photograph of a person. So thanks for watching and It's see in the next one. 49. How to Create Your own Sticker: There and welcome to this video, where we're going to show you how to create your own sticker. So we're actually going to take inspiration from an image. So I've actually found some images on three pick.com, and we're going to create our own sticker based on these two images. So let's upload these now to camera by going to uploads and then upload files, and selecting these two images. So it's this image here of a cat. And another one of a pig. Let's crop this pig image now and put it on the head of the cat. Let's resize this image. And I'm actually going to remove the background for this pig image by clicking on edit image and then go to background removal. Remember, if you're not using Camera Pro, there are other websites you can use to remove backgrounds for free, such as remove BG. Okay, now we have the background removed this image. Let's just rotate this and put this in approximately the right place. L et's now crop some of this cat image, and let's now click and drag over both of these images and make them larger. Okay, now I'm going to switch over to the iPad. You can do this on the desktop as well, but I do think using the pencil on the iPad can be a lot quicker and more efficient for drawing images. Okay, let's now download this image from Canva, and we're going to open it on the iPad. The application I'm going to use on the iPad is called Good notes. This lets me draw with my Apple pencil. So let's open the Good notes application, and then tap on you. And then I'm going to choose notebook. Now let's tap on size, and let's choose A four. And now let's change this to landscape. Let's tap create. Now let's tap on the image icon and add an image from Canva here. Let's just resize this so we can see this a bit clearer. Now with a pen tool in good notes, Let's use our apple pencil and draw around the outline of this image. Let's go around the head. To make this image unique, I'm going to change the ears. Let's draw in a new shape now. Let's draw around the stomach and the arms. And now let's draw around the legs and feet. And draw around the stomach, and I'm going to add a new marking for the stomach. Let's now add an inside part for the ears, and I'm going to change the tail to a curly pigs tail. Let's zoom in a bit more now, and let's draw around the nose and mouth and also the tongue. Let's draw around the eyes, and let's change the shape of these as well. Let's make them a bit smaller. Let's add some eyelashes. Let's now change the thickness of the pen, and let's choose a pink color. Now I'm going to fill in the color for the pig's face. I have spread this video up, but if you're following along, I recommend taking your time, so you fill in your image correctly. Let's also use this pink color to fill in the arms and legs for this design. Okay, let's now choose a different color, Let's choose a red color for the nose. Let's zoom in even more and choose a thinner line amount, and let's fill in the tong, this red color as well. Let's now change the color to a white color, and let's fill in the mouth. Let's zoom out and let's change the color to our pink white color, and let's fill in the belly with this color. Let's zoom out so we can see the whole image. Okay, let's now view our original image. So we can do this by pressing this image does not appear, and this shows our original image. As you can see, it's quite different now. Okay, let's now remove our original image. I'm going to select cut though, just in case you want to paste in again later on. Okay, let's actually make our image a bit neater now, and with the apple pencil, let's draw around the outline again. Let's zoom in. So we're going to draw around this image with a black color. So let's draw around the head. Let's make the eyes a bit neater. Now let's fill in the nostrils and draw around the nose. Let's also draw around the mouth and then draw around the hands and arms, and also the stomach and the legs. Let's draw around the arm as well and the other leg. Let's now select this pink color again and fill in any of these white gaps. And also, we can see these white gaps around the mouth. Let's fill this in here as well. Let's swap to this black color and draw some eyelashes in the gain, and also draw in in the ears. Let's also add the mark in to the stomach again. Let's now swap to the highlight tool and add some shadows around the image to make it look a bit more free dimensional. Let's draw it around the outline of the image now. And you can see now it's starting to look a lot better. Let's choose a gray color now. Let's also add highlights around the stomach. And add highlights around the eyes, to make it look like a shadow. Let's also do the same for the nose and the mouth as well. Now let's change this back over to the pen, and I'm going to add some lines on the cheek. Now let's go to the highlight tool and add the highlights to these lines on the cheek to make them look like shadows. Let's now swap back to this pink color and add the highlights for the inner ears to make these look like shadows as well. Let's now export this image out of good notes, and let's go back to Canva. So we're using the same Canvas size as before for the sticker, and let's now upload this image we just made into Canva. So let's click on uploads and then upload files, and let's select this image here. Okay, let's just crop this, and let's remove the background by clicking edit image and background remover. Let's now add some elements to make this sticker a bit more exciting. So let's click on elements. And let's type in balloon. Let's choose one of these balloons now. Actually, I like the color of this one a bit more as it matches the pig better. So let's choose this one. Okay, let's just resize this. Let's actually crop the bottom. Let's add some text now. So I'm going to click on Add a Heading. And let's change the font now, and let's choose this handwriting style font here. This handwritten font looks a bit more personal. Let's just resize this image and the text now. Let's add effect to the text. So let's click on effects, and let's choose this shallow effect. Now let's change the shadow color to white, and let's adjust the offset and increase the transparency, so we can see this a bit clearer. Let's also adjust the direction. Let's now add another element. This time, let's type in ribbon. Let's choose this one here. And now let's add this ribbon to the balloon. We can also add another ribbon if we want. Just for this example, let's add a bow tie to the pig as well. Let's just resize and rotate this. I'm also going to add a filter to this to change the color. Let's click on dit Image and choose one of these filters by selecting CO. However, for this sticker, I don't want to have a bow tie, so let's delete this. Okay, let's add some more elements, so let's click on elements, and now let's type in Hart. Let's add some of these heart graphics. Let's change the color of these graphics. As I do think, we have too much of this light pink color now in the sticker. Let's change it to a darker pink or red. Let's now type in flowers, and let's click on C and choose some of these. Let's duplicate this by pressing the dupicate button, and let's actually flip this horizontally by clicking on flip up here and selecting flip horizontally. Now with this graphic flipped horizontally, the image looks more balanced. Let's just resize and rotate these flower graphics now. And let's just select all of this now and put it more in the center. Okay, so there you go, so that's how you can create your own sticker. So we created this from inspiration from other designs, but we still made that design unique. So we're now at the end of this video, I hope you found it useful and I'll see you in the next one. 50. How to Create a Sticker by Using Elements in Canva: Okay, so now let's create a sticker by using elements in Canva. So for this, I want to create a cute pig sticker. So let's go over to elements, and let's now type in pig. No graphics, let's select SL. A lot of these are suitable. I'm going to choose this one here. Let's now resize this to make it larger. Now let's add a circle to go behind this pig graphic. So in the elements search, I'm going to type in circle green. And let's choose this one here. Okay, let's now right click on the circle graphic and then go to layer, and then go to center back as we want to have this behind the pig graphic. Okay, let's just resize this, and now I'm going to add another element. This time, let's find a smile graphic. So let's type in smile. And here we actually have this text that says Smile with a smiley face. I think this works well with the design, so let's choose this. Let's now resize this. However, let's change the color for this. With this design, we can choose five different colors. So let's now change some of these. So we do have the photo colors here, but I'm not going to choose any of these green colors or will get lost in this green circle behind. Of course, we need to change this green color up here as we really can't see the letter E. Let's change it to another color, which you can see a lot clearer. This one here's fine. Okay, so that's how you can create sticker inside Cava using just the Canva elements. As you can see, you can still make great designs just inside Cava. So I hope you find this view useful, and I'll see the next one. 51. The Magic Edit Tool: Okay, so now let's have a look at the Magic edit tool, which allows you to modify images. So here I have a photograph of a person that are found under the elements, and let's now click on this image, and then go to edit image. And now you can see here in the Magic Studio section, we have Magic edit. So let's click on this. So we have these areas here. We have brush or click. If we select brush, then we can click and drag over an area. Let's just click Clear for now, though, and if we select click, then we can click over the area that we'd like to select. Let's just click Clear again, though. For this, I want to change the hair, so let's select brush, and I'm going to click and drag over the hair. Like so. Now we can describe our edit. For this, I'm going to type in clown hair, and now let's press generate. It may take a moment or two to load. Also as AI improves, this may be faster to load, and you may get better images than what we see here. However, we can click through all of these to see the different ones. I think this one's the best one, though, so let's press done. Now let's click Magic edit again, and this time, let's give them a bed. So let's put the brush size a lot smaller. And let's click and drag over the beard area. Now I'm going to type in beard. Again, this may take a few moments to load. Let's have a look at these different ones now. Some of these are quite realistic, but I think the first or the second one are most suitable. However, we can click on Generate again, and this will give us some more. Again, let's have a look at these. Again, I think the first one is the best one. Okay, let's press done, and now I'm actually going to change their shirt. Let's click on Magic Edit again. This time, let's make the brush size a larger, and let's click and drag over the shirt area. Now I'm going to type in redshirt and hit generate. Okay, let's have a look at some of these. That one is a bit strange, so I'm not going to choose that. This one here looks quite good though, so let's choose this. You can see that the shoulders aren't too realistic, so this AI technology isn't perfect, but hopefully in the future, it will improve. Let's actually click on Add page and let's go back to recently used and then add the image we had before, and we can see the difference between the two. So you can see here we can easily modify images with this magic edit tool. Okay, let's have a look at another example. So I'm going to add another image here. So now I find an image of a cat looking at a mouse. And I want to change this computer mouse into a mouse, so an actual animal. So again, let's click on the image and then go to edit image, and then go to Magic edit. This example, let's select brush and then click and drag over this mouse, to cover the area. Okay, now let's type in mouse, and then hit generate. Okay, let's have a look at some of these. Some of them aren't quite right. Here again, we have a computer mouse. And this one here looks quite good. Let's use this. Again, if we add a new page and then add the recently used photo, we can see the difference between the two. Okay, so that's how you can use a Magic edit tool to modify images. Thanks for watching, and I'll see in the next one. 52. The Magic Eraser Tool: Okay, so now let's have a look at the Magic arrays tool. Here we have this image of this cat, looking at this computer mouse. For this image, though, I want to remove this computer mouse. So let's have a look at this now. Let's select this image and then go to edit image, and now let's go to Magic eraser. So we can select brush and click and drag over the area we want to erase, or we can select click and then just click what we want to erase. For this, let's select click. So we've selected the mouse and the cable here. Now let's click on ase. Just be aware you may have to do this a few times to remove it. Also depending on the image, it may or may not look appropriate. You can see here we've removed the mouse, but we still have the shadow and this black down here. So let's now click on Brush, and let's manually drag over this. Okay. And now let's click Ras again. It's not perfect, so let's click and drug over this again, and then hopefully, it should be fine. Okay, there you go. That's pretty good, and that's how you can use the Magic eraser tool in Canva. Thanks watching, and I'll see in the next one. 53. Magic Grab: Okay, so now let's have a look at the Magic Grab tool. So let's click on an image of this cat looking at this mouse, and then go to Edit image, and then go to Magic Grab. So Magic Grab allows you to select elements in your design so you can move them around. So let's select click and then select this cat, and then press grab. Okay, so as you can see here, we can move this cat a. Let's move this over to the right. And now let's actually duplicate this image. Let's right click on this and then go to duplicate. And now we have this here as well. For this example, let's flip the image, Let's flip this horizontally, and let's move this into the right position. Let's also rotate this a little bit. And then move this down. So now we have these two cats by using the Magic grab tool. Okay, so there's another quick tip. Thanks watching, and I'll see the next one. 54. How to Create Mockups: Okay, so now let's have a look at the mock up feature in Canva. This might be useful if you want to have your design or photograph on a cup or t shirt, for example. Let me show you how to do this now. So here we have this photograph of a dog, and let's actually turn this into a mockup for a cup. So let's select this image and then go to edit image and let's scroll down to where it says mock ups. So you can see we have these popular ones here, and we can click on Cal. So we have loads of different types, and these are just the popular ones. But for this, let's choos this cup in the top left. Then we can crop the area here. Let's crop out some of the background, and then here, apply changes. Now we can see what this dog will look like on a cup. Let's try one. Here have an image of a rabbit. Let's now click on this image and then go to edit image. And again, let's go to mockups. Now let's click on computers. There's loads of different ones we can choose here. But for this example, let's choose this computer. We also have this smart crop feature here, so Let's press this. It's not always perfect as we're cutting out our legs here. Let's do this ourselves manually. Now let's click on apply changes. Here we can see what the rabbit looks like on the computer. Let's do another example. Let's now put this cat on the calendar. Let's say you have a photograph at a pet and you want to see what this looks like on the calendar. You can do this with a mock up feature. So again, let's click on a photo, go to edit image, and then go down to Mockups. The calendar is in the print section here, so let's click on CL. Again, there's lots of different ones we can try. But for this example, let's select this calendar here. Again, let's crop this, but this time, let's actually flip this horizontally. And now let's hit apply changes. Okay, there we go. Okay, let's do one more. Let's actually make a video mock up this time. So have this picture of a duck. Again, let's click on the image, edit image, and then go down to mock ups. So we also have video mockups as well. This will still be an image, but behind it will be a video. Let's choose this one here of this person holding a card. The video mock ups may take a moment or two to load though. Okay, let's just make this a bit bigger and play this back to see what this looks like. Okay, great. So we can create lots of different types of mock ups. So this might be useful if you want to create a cup, calendar, or see what your images or designs look like with different mock ups. That's s ended this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see the next one. 55. The Auto Focus Tool: Okay, so now let's have a look at the autofocus tool in Canva. So this allows us to put certain elements out of focus. This allows you to make the image look a bit more free dimensional or to make it look a bit more cinematic. Let me show you now. So we have this picture of this cat looking at this computer mouse. And for this example, let's put the computer mouse out of focus. So that way, our attention will be drawn to the cat and less to the computer mouse. So let's click on the image and then go to edit image. And we can find auto focus in the effects area down here. Let's click on this right arrow button, and here it is. With this bottom slider here, we can choose the focus position. For example, you can see here, the cat is now out of focus, and the mouse is in focus, which draws our attention to the mouse. For this though, we want to have the cat in focus. So let's move this position slider until this purple color is on the cat, which will be the area in focus. And we can change the blow intensity with this top slider. That's a bit too out of focus, Let's move it to something a bit more realistic. Around here. You can see the difference when I move the slider. Okay, let's have a look at another example. We have these people here standing in front of a house. To make this image look a bit more cinematic, I want to have the house in the background blurred slightly. Let's click on the photo, go to edit image, and then go down to the effects area here and find auto focus. By default, it seems to select these people here. So if you move the position to the house, the people will be out of focus, and this doesn't look very natural. Let's move this, so the people are in focus and the house is out of focus. Again, we can choose blur intensity with this top slider. That is a bit too much. Let's move it to around here. This now looks a bit more cinematic with the background blow out slightly. Okay, so that's how you can use auto focus tool. Thanks for watching this video, and I'll see the next one. 56. Face Retouch: Okay, so now let's have a look at the face retouch tool and Canva. This allows you to smooth in at the face. Let me show you how to do this now. So we have this photograph of these faces here, and let's click on this image and then go to edit image. We can find this again in the effect section down here. And here it is face retouch. So we can smooth in the skin with a slider here. So you can see here we have some of the marks on the face, and when we increase this, they disappear slightly. Okay, let's have a look at another example now. So if this tool, we can clear the skin up slightly. Let's click on this image and then go to edit image. And now under effects, let's find face retouch. So you can see here, we clear up the skin slightly when we move it to the right. This won't fix everything, but it should make the skin look a bit more smooth. Okay, so let's send this video, thanks watching, and I'll see the next one. 57. The Blur Tool: Okay, and now let's have a look at the blur tool in Canva. This might be useful if you need to blur people's faces out in your photo. Let me show you how to do this now. So we have this photograph here. Let's now select this photograph and go to edit image, and then go down to the effects area here and find Blur. We can blur the whole image, which is not what we want to do here, or we can select brush here. So let's choose the Adler type here. We can choose the brush size with the slider here. And then we can choose the intensity. If you just want to blur slightly, I recommend having this set quite low. Let's decrease the intensity to around ten. So now the faces should be unrecognizable, but it won't ruin the image. If we have the blur intensity too high, then the image may look a bit strange. So we need to click and drag over the faces like this to blur them. Let's keep these two and focus, and let's blur the rest. Okay, there you go. So now we shouldn't be able to recognize these people, but it's not too obvious that it ruins the photograph. So thanks watching this quick tip video, and I'll see the next one. 58. The Magic Expand Tool: Okay, so now let's have a look at the Magic Expand tool. So this allows us to expand that image. So here I have this photograph here. And let's actually expand this now. So we can do this by clicking on our image and then go to edit image and then go to Magic Expand. So we have a few different options here. We have free form, whole page, and one to one. For this, let's use free form, and let's actually drag this down here. So hopefully, this will make the shirt a bit longer, and we'll also expand the yellow background. So let's click on Magic Expand now to see our results. Just be aware this may take a few moments to process. Okay, let's have a look at what we've got now. So you can see here the shirt is not perfect, but it's quite good. Let's look at the next one. Again, it's not perfect. And this one as well, and the fourth one. This is probably the best one in my opinion. But the background here, this looks really good. Let's just cancel this. And this time, let's just expand the sides. So again, let's go on edit image and go to Magic Expand. We use free form again, and as I said, we'll just expand the sides. Okay. Let's now click, Magic Expand again. Things like this check shirt here can be quite difficult to expand. But for backgrounds like this yellow background here, it should do a good job. Let's have a look at this now. As you can see, it's done a really good job. And all of them, apart from the fourth one here, have done a good job. Let's now look at another example. So here we have this landscape. And again, let's click on this and then go to edit image, and then go to Magic Expand. For this, let's do the whole page, so it should expand to the left and right here. So let's click Magic Expand. So there is quite a lot of different colors and things going on in this image. Let's see what it can do. Okay, let's have a look at this. This first one is really good. Can see that it's not quite perfect, but it is very good. Let's see the next one. Can see the shadow there is a bit too dark. The third and fourth one, again, it's a little darker on the sides, but it has done a very good job. And let's now have a look at another example. This is our concert, and we have all these different people in the audience, and these different colors on the side here. So let's see if it can handle this. Again, let's go to edit image and go to Magic Expand. It does say down here images where faces, hands or transparent backgrounds may not work well when expanding. So we do have some hands here, so let's see if it can handle this. Let's select whole page where we just be expanding on the left and right for this example. Okay, that's pretty good. We do have this vignette effect on the side. Let's have a look at the other ones. That was not bad apart from this gray on the side here. Third one. Again, that was pretty good, but we do have this line on the right here. And the fourth one. Okay, I think that was pretty good. Has done a good job. And to be honest, if I saw this image, I probably wouldn't be able to tell this was expanded with AI. Let's have a look at one more example. Let's see if it can handle this. This could be quite difficult because we have the tree and these leaves. But let's see what it can do. So let's click on the image, go to edit image, and magic expand once again. We do have this one to one option as well. Which will expand the square. But for this, let's choose whole page again. So let's select whole page and then select Magic expand. This tool will probably improve in the future, but this is what we've got here. This first one is not bad, it's okay. The second one actually is pretty good. The third one is quite good as well. And the fourth one is good. We do have this tree on the side here, which may or may not be suitable. Okay, so going for all of these, I think it's done a pretty good job. As I said, it's not perfect right now, but it does do quite a good job. So if you have a simple image and you want to expand it, you can use this tool, which soul hopefully be suitable. So thanks for watching this quick video, and I'll see in the next one. 59. The Grab Text Tool: Okay, so now let's have a look at the grab text tool. This allows you to grab and change the font of the text. So here we have this design that has this text in this image. So we cannot click or drag this text. It will just move the whole image. However, let me show you how to use a grab text tool now. So we need to select the image and then go to edit image. And here we can select grab text. So we can click to select the text we want to grab, or we can select all text. So for this example, let's select all text. And now let's click grab. This may take a few moments to process, and here we can grab, move our text around. So we don't have the original text. It has changed it to another font. Let's just click off this text box. So we can change these separately. Let's now double click on this text here and go up here to the font to change the font. Let's chose another one. Let's choose this one here. And let's just move this around. And the other text box up here, let's move this down here. Let's now double click on this to select this text, and let's choose another font. Let's choose this, and let's change the size. Okay, so, that's how you can quickly use a grab text feature in Canva. Thanks for watching this video, and I'll see the next one. 60. The Blend Tool: Okay, so now let's have a look at the blend tool in Canva. So this allows us to blend or combine photographs together. And here have these two photographs. So what we want to do is blend these together and put this bear on this desk. Before we do this, though, let's just click and resize this bear, to something a bit more suitable. So think around there. And now what we need to do is select both of the photographs. So we can do this by selecting one of the photographs and then holding down shift and selecting another one. Now let's go over to edit image, and here we can see blend. And you can see here, it says, start by selecting two images. Place one image on top of another in the size and position, you want them merged. So that's what we did with the bear here, and now let's select blend images. And this may take a few moments to process. So let's have a look at some of these now. So not perfect, but I think this one is most suitable. Hopefully in the future, many of these tools in Canva will improve, but for now, I think it's okay. Let's have a look at another example. So for this example, I want to put this plant on this desk here. So let's now click to resize this plant. And let's have it around this size and this position. Let's now hold down shift and select the other photo and then go to edit image. Now let's select blend. And again, let's select blend images. So this should cut out the background of this plant and change it, so it blends these photographs together. Okay, let's have a look at the other ones. And I think the first one or the fourth one is most suitable. Let's choose the fourth one as I think the colors match these plants behind a bit better. So I do recommend experimenting with this tool. But as I said, it's not perfect, but hopefully this tool will get better over time. Okay, so there's the blend tool, thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one. 61. The Duotone Tool: Case, and now let's have a look at uo Tone. This allows us to add a two tone look to our image. This might be good for an artistic image, for example. Let me show you how to do this now. Here I have this photograph. Let's click on this now, and then go and edit image. And we can see in the effects area down here, we have uo Tone. So here we have lots of different presets we can use. Or we can actually create our own. Here we have highlights, shadows, and intensity. For this example, let's change the highlights to a red color. As we can see it's getting lost because we have the shadows similar color. Let's change the shadows to a black color. So something like this, looks pretty cool. I do think the intensity is a bit too much, so let's just decrease this to around here. So previously it was like this. And you can see, we've changed it quite a lot. Let's just change the highlights to another color. Let's choose more of a blue color. So I think something like this can be interesting for an artistic image. Let's have a look at another image here. Let's actually add this uo tone effect to this photograph. Let's select the photograph, then go to edit image, and then go to uo Tone here. Again, we have lots of great presets. But let's actually create our own. For this example, let's change the highlights to more of the yellow color. Let's choose a round here, and we can change the shadows color as well. We can also use this eye dropper tool and pick our own color. Let's actually choose a color from one of these presets. I think this looks quite interesting, but the intensity is a bit too high. Let's just decrease this slightly. Let's have a lock up one more example. So again, let's the image go to edit image, and then go to uo Tone. L et's select this dust preset and let's just adjust this slightly. So we can get some quite interesting combinations. Think this is a bit too extreme for what I want though. So something like this is quite cool. Let's make this color a bit darker to around here. And again, let's drop the intensity slightly. So this one, we have a bit of a vintage feel. Originally, it was like this, we're very bright colors, and with this duotone, we've made it seem a bit more older vintage style. Okay, so that's the duotone effect, which allows you to get a two tone. Thanks watching this video, and I'll see the next one. 62. The Image Upscaler Tool: Okay, so now let's have a look at image up scalar. So this uses AI to upscale and refine your images. So here we have this older black and white photograph, and let's try and upscale this. So let's select this image and then go to edit image. Now in the app section, let's select image up scalar. So down here, we can upscale the amount. But you can see here we can only upscale by two times. That's because it says here our image is already high resolution. So for this, we have to leave it on two times. But if it's a really old grainy image, you may have more options here. And now let's select upscale image, and this process may take a few moments. So we can see here the before and after, and let's now press replace. Okay, let's just zoom in on the face here, and let's just press the back button, so we can see the difference. Before it was like this, you can see it's quite grainy and after a lot smoother. Let's go to the TV area here. Before it was like this, quite grainy. And then after. Let's have a look at another part of the image. Let's see the TV stand here, before it was quite grainy and again after. So that's image scaler, and it's a quick way to upscale the image. Thanks watching this quick tip video, and I'll see you in the next one. 63. The Colorize Tool: Okay, so now let's have a look at the colorized featuring camva, which allows us to add vibrant colors to old photos. So here we have this black and white photo, which we looked at in the previous video. And now let's actually add some color to this with the colorized tool. So let's select this image and go to edit image. Now in the app section here, we have colorize, so let's select this. So here it says, load a black and white or gray scale image or select one in your design to colorize. So we have one selected here, but you can upload your own image. So for this, let's select colorize and replace. This may take a few moments. Okay, let's just zoom in on this. You can see it's not perfect, but it is quite good. Let's now have a look at another example. So here we have this old gray scale photo. Let's click on this now and go on edit image. Now let's go down to where it says Colorize, and then click on Colorize and replace. This would be nice if we could select some of the colors ourselves. But for now, this is what we have. Let's have a look at one more example, so let's select this and go to colorize and replace. Again, it's not perfect, but it is pretty cool. We can quickly add color to black and white or old photos. Okay, so that is a colorized tool. Thanks watching this video, and I'll see the next one. 64. The Pixlify Tool: Okay, so now let's have a look at the Pixla phi tool in Canva. Using this can give you images a retro feel. Let me show you how to do this now. So here I how this design. Let's select this and go to edit image, and we can see a Pixel phi down here in the apps are area. So here we can choose the Pixel scale, so we can choose the amount of pixels here. And this will update in the display here. Let's choose around 20 for this example, and press replace. So decreasing the amount of pixels might be useful for a background or for an abstract design. Let's have a look at another example here. Let's click on this, and here we can set the amount of pixels. So we can have something quite extreme like this. But for this example, let's have a round 30. So let's click replace to see this. So you can see here, it looks like it's downgrading the photo. So we're really reducing the amount of pixels, which can give your image a retro feel. Okay, so that's Pixla Pi, thanks for watching, and I'll see the next one. 65. The Trippy Effect: Okay, so now let's have a look at the trippy effect in Canva. This effect allows us to mimic the effects of a digital error. Let me show this now. So here I have this photograph, and let's click on this and go to edit image. Now if we go down to the apps area and scroll to the right, we can see trippy. So here we have a few different presets. Let's choose this first one called radiate. C can instantly see now. It's very different. This effect is quite psychedalic, and trippy, and we can get a really cool effect if we adjust the RGB shift amount. This shifts the red, green, and blue, as we can see here. Okay, then we have the RGB shift angle. We can see it rotating, the red, green, and blue. Then we have JA. This is quite interesting. We can go through here and find one that we like. S. Some of these are quite extreme, but let's choose this one here. Then we have solar ides, which will give us a tone reversal effect. Let's just add some of this and you can see it gets very extreme when we move this over to the right. Let's just have a small amount. Let's say around here. That looks quite interesting now. Let's have a look at another one of these presets. Here we have the same controls, and let's look at the other presets as well. Some of these presets are quite extreme. Presets are fine to start with, but if you want to use this effect, I recommend you go through here and adjust the settings yourself. Okay, so that is a jitter effect. It's a really great effect if you want to mimic digital errors. This also adds a trippy psychedelic feeling to our images. Okay, so that's enders video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one. 66. The Colormix Effect: Okay. So now let's have a look at how to use the color mix effect in Canva. This allows you to combine unexpected colors together. Let me show you how to do this now. Here we have this photograph. Let's click on this, and let's go to edit image. Now, if we go down to apps, and we scroll over, we can see color mix. So here we have a few different presets we can choose. Let's choose this one here called rainbow. As you can see, it's instantly change the photograph. We can adjust the hue offset, and this allows us to rotate the hue. That we can adjust the saturation. So if we go all the way to the left, it will be black and white. And if we go to the right, the saturation will be more powerful. Then we can choose rainbow amount, so we can just have a small amount like this, which looks pretty good, or we can choose a larger amount, which is a bit too extreme for this example in my opinion. So let's drop this down to around here. Then we have rainbow offset, which allows us to rotate the rainbow colors. Okay, that one that's pretty good, but let's try another preset now. Let's choose this one called Arctic. So you can see here we have these blue colors, which is probably why it's called Arctic, and let's just adjust the hue. So when we adjust this, you can see we have these different colors. Again, we have saturation. Let's set this quite low for this example. Then we have the rainbow amount, and then we have the rainbow offset. So I think something like this is quite good. Then we have these other presets as well, which all have the same controls. Okay, so that's the color mix effect. This can be quite interesting as it allows you to add rainbow colors to your design. So thanks watching this video, and I'll see the next one. 67. How to Resize Your Project with Canva Pro: Hi there and welcome to this video, we're going to show you how to resize your project with Canva Pro. If you're using the free plan of CVA, then we do have a video earlier in this course called resize of project with a free account, which I recommend checking go. However, if you're using the pro version of Canva, the method that show you in this video should be a bit easier than what we show you with a free plan. So here I have a photograph, and our design has a ratio of 1920 by 1080. As you can see, we have these white bars on the side. But I want the design to be the same size as the photograph. If we go to the corner of the design here, we can actually see the size. So you can see it's 1,620 by 1080. So now we can go up to resize and Magic switch. If you click and resize, we can see these different suggestions. Or we can go to custom size. Let's click on this and remember the height was 1080 and the width was 1,620. Let's make sure we have this checked and uncheck the one below, and then click Continue. Now we can copy and resize this, or we can resize this design. For this example, I want to resize this design, so let's click on this. Now we can click on this photograph and resize this. And you can see here now it's 1,620 by 1080. Okay, let me show you one more example. So here we have the same image. And again, if we drag this out, you can see the size is 1,620 by 1080 pixels. Now let's actually go on resize and Magic switch again, and let's resize this back to 1920 by 1080. So you can see here it says 1920 by 1080, or we can type it in by going on custom sites. I'm just going to type it in here, check this box, and then click Continue. This time, we're going to select copy and resize. So you can see our project hasn't changed, but we have a new project here that we can open. So if a click on this now, you can see we have a new project, and it has a different size, which is 1920 by 1080. So we have this project, and then I have another tab which has our previous project. So if you don't want to change your current project and you want to make a new one, you can use this copy and resize option instead. Okay, so that's how you can resize your projects with camera Pro. I hope you find this video useful and I'll see the next one. 68. Canva Licensing: Hi there. Welcome to this quick video about Canva licensing. So I personally can't really give you any advice about licensing in Canva, as this is out of my area expertise. And also, I do recommend going directly to Canva to find out information on this rather than hearing from someone else. So attached to this video is a PDF that links to this YouTube video here, which is called Canva licensing Explained. And this goes over some frequently asked questions about Canva licensing, which I recommend checking go. They also recommend you refer to Canvas license agreements page for the latest updates, which is linked in the YouTube video, and is also in the PDF attached to this video. As I said, I can't really go over the license agreements as this is down to Canva, not down to us as instructors, but I do recommend checking out this video and a license agreement from Canva for information about this. So when it does come down to licensing and copyright, I personally believe it's best to stay on the side of caution and not to publish anything if you're not sure that you're allowed to use it. Okay, so thanks watching this quick video, and I'll see you in the next one. 69. Thanks and Bye + Class Project: Okay, so we're now at the end of this class. I hope you've found it useful, and I hope now you're a lot more confident using Canva, so you can make great looking designs. So for your class project, I want to use the skills and techniques that they've learned in this class and apply them to creating your own design. This could be a video thumb now, social media sticker, or a page or two from turning a video course into a book. However, let's not include a CV or resume design. It's want to make sure your information is private, unless you fill it out with a fake name information, so we're just looking at the design. Then I want you to write a paragraph about how and why you created the design, the way you did. And then you can post this as your class project, so we can see exactly what you did. Okay, so thank you so much for watching a class. I really do hope you found it useful and buy for now.
