2. Introduction to Canva for Instagram : Welcome to this new class
on Canvas for Instagram. As you know, Instagram is one of the most popular social
media channel out there, especially for the youth. It has become a sort of rich. And it is not that
it is only for the people who are most
engaging content on Instagram. People today are
building their brands, their purse sub branch, their business
brands on Instagram and benefiting from it. But for building brands, you need to post consistent
and quality content on Instagram for a
prolonged period of time. And this is where Canva
comes into the picture. As you might be aware,
that Canada is one of the most powerful
and prominent, yet easy to use graphic designing software
out there in the market, Kendra can be used to create a variety of graphics for
variety of platforms. And Instagram is one of the most popular
platform for which people create graphics on Canva. So in this class, I
shall be discussing with you how you can
create your brand, your identity on Instagram
using the power of Canva. I'm sure you're going to
love this class and you're going to gain tremendous
skill sets from this class. In the next video, I shall
be discussing with you different types of
Instagram content that can be created using Canva. So stay tuned, keep
watching, keep learning. See you in the next video.
3. Know 6 Types of Instagram Content! : Welcome levels. In this new video, I
shall be talking about different types of Instagram
content and how you can use the power of Canva
to create each one of them in a professional
and attractive way. Broadly speaking, there are six main types of
Instagram content. And all six of them can
be created using Canva and post it on Instagram for building an
inspirational brand. So let's have a look at what are the six types of content
I'm talking about. So first and foremost, let me talk about
Instagram photo post. Let me select a template. So this is a broadly Instagram
photo posts template. I can create three different
types of posts using this template or
any other template for that metal in Canva. Number two, if you want to
take it to the next level, you can create a carousel of
photos in Instagram post. You can have up to
ten photographs on Instagram carousel
post where you can have ten sliding slides, 1 after another to convey a
holistic and longer message. And number three or third
kind of Instagram posts that you can create his
Instagram video post. You can create
Instagram video post or carousel post or a
single photo post with any of the templates, as I have told you earlier. So far, we have discussed three types of
Instagram posts that you can create on Canva
for Instagram profiles. The fourth in the line
is Instagram stories. Stories are very
interesting concept that is used by Facebook and Instagram in case you're not aware that we briefly
tell you stories, something that stays
on your profile for 24 h. People can come and over
eight people can like it, share it, send their
heart messages and review the stories, whatever message you
have in the story. And after 24 h, it
automatically disappears. It doesn't stay on
your profile until, and unless you use the fifth
kind of Instagram content, that is Instagram
story highlight. So what is Instagram
story highlight? You can collect their stories in your Instagram profile under the story highlighters,
where then we, we actually cover meat
and different kinds of stories can be clubbed
together under each highlighter so that they
appear on your profile on permanent basis and your views can wash them as
in when they want, much like the Instagram
post content. So far we have discussed the five types of Instagram content. 16 line is Instagram breeze, which is a rage these days. So what our Instagram
instagram Reels or 15 s short videos. And they can be shorter
than 15 s as well, but not more than 15 s
under any circumstances, there is a limit
allowed by Instagram. And they are meant
to be entertaining, engaging, and made in a very
fun and attractive way. Instagram Reels have
taken Instagram by storm and people have
built their profiles in the last couple of years, purely on the basis
of Instagram, please. So in this class, I shall be discussing with
you all six types of content. And I'll be showing you the
way how you can make them professionally and take your Instagram accounts
to the next level.
4. Design a Single Photo Post from Scratch!: Welcome learners.
In this new video. As told in the previous video, I'll be showing you
how you can design a single photo post for
Instagram using Canva, I'll show you two
ways of doing it. One using a blank canvas
without using any template, and another using some sort of template available in
the canvas catalog. So let me start by writing Instagram post in
the search bar. That is the easiest way to reach to decide graphic dimensions. I'll be selecting Instagram
square bossed here. I'll be selecting this, create a blank
Instagram post option. Now my perfect Instagram
square post dimension is ready and blank canvases
in front of me. I can design it in
whichever way I want. If it seems a little
smaller in size to you, you can always
increase the size from here or adjust according
to your comfort level. I'm comfortable with
this much only. So I'll go ahead with designing
this particular template. Okay, whenever you have
the blank template, the first and foremost thing
is to have a background. Let me have a background here. I can always change it later. But let me have
something to begin with. I can pick from landscapes,
patrons, gradients, or some sort of
abstract or tropical or textures backgrounds
as shown here. You can see the red actions
backgrounds present here. I can also have
the flowers here. I can have nature and all sorts of variations
that are available here. I suppose I'm selecting this green grass kind of
background, green landscape. Let me adjust its
transparency little bit. Is it gives it a different
view in color altogether. It is optional. I felt like doing it. It is not necessary.
All the steps that I'll be showing
you are optional. It is only up to your creativity and your
experience level, what you want and
how flexible you are with experimenting different
features in Canva. So there's nothing right,
nothing wrong here. It is all about how
you go about it. What are your personal
preferences and requirements and what is
your skill level with Canva? So after selecting
the background, let me have some
geometrical shape here. Okay? I'll be going to elements
and adding a squared here. Okay, let me add this square here is broadly at
the center of it. Now, let me change the color of the square to some
lighter shade. Let me add some text here. I'll be putting
some pictures here, which goes well with this text. I'm designing an Instagram
post for some organic store. So that is a hypothetical
idea, hypothetical store. I'll be putting some elements according to that
particular theme. So it'd be putting some
fruit or vegetable pigs. Let me adjust a little bit. I let one more rectangle here. Let me change its color
from something this big. Have you noticed the moment I selected to change its color? There is an option from the
colors taken the photo. Note this photo color option. This is amazing
feature in Canada, It can pick colors automatically from the pictures and the
templates that you're using. And you can align your other elements and
texts according to that. I may try this one also. This looks better. Or maybe this one. Yeah, this also looks nice. And maybe I would like to
have some branding here. Let me take some
designer text here. Let me have some
line spacing between these two words, purity organic. Similarly, I should
reduce some space here. I think I should change
the color of it. This looks nice. Letter spacing will do. You need to constantly
try things? And they, unless you
come up with something that looks aesthetic and
appealing to your eyes. If it appears through your eyes, chances are it will appeal to other people's eyes as well. Maybe this color
is not going well. Let me change it to darker one. Now, I have assumed a
hypothetical organic store named purity organic and designed
a very basic message post, eat organic, eat healthy with a nice photograph of fruits and a very
simplistic background. And I haven't used any
template for this. I've created my own
template from the scratch. This looks beautiful and appealing and it is
ready to be downloaded. Now, I can download
it and share it in my Instagram or wherever
I want to share it. And I can certainly copy this format and create
more posts like this. So this was it in this video. In the next video, I'll be
showing you how you can design single photo
posts using a template. I'll be picking one
of the templates from the collection
of templates. And I will be modifying a template to suit
our requirements, will continue with this
organic food theme and this hypothetical
purity organic store. So keep watching, keep learning. See you in the next video.
5. Design a Single Photo Post with a Template: Welcome learners. Welcome to this new video. In this video, I shall be
teaching you how you can design single-photon host for Instagram using a
template in Canva. So let's start by going
to the Instagram post. Now there are two ways
to pick a template. Either I can pick a
template from here itself. I can type something,
say organic food, which is related to my theme. If you remember, the theme for this particular post will be a hypothetical store
for which we are working from the
previous video onwards. That is purity organic. And the message is very simple. The messages, eat
healthy, eat organic. So we'll be designing a
template for this very message. I can type hear organic food. It will show me
potential templates of all shapes and dimensions. I can either pick it
from here or I can simply select the blank canvas as I did in the previous case, and then pick the relevant
template from here. Both way it can be done. I find this pathway
more conducive. I'm more used to
have this pathway. It is up to you whichever
way you want to reach here. So let's do it from here. What we'll do again, we'll type some keywords related to our theme, organic food. Now, benefit of
doing it from here is that I'll only get the
square root templates. You might have noticed there
were vertical templates, there were landscape
more templates and all kinds of dimensions
are available there. Here I'll only get Instagram scared ghost template
designs dimensions will be standard and it will
be easier for me to pick. So I'll be picking any of the template from
here, whichever I want. Since I have approved
version of Canva, I can have the luxury of picking a program plate like this one. Else there are plenty of
free templates as well, like this one, this
one, and this one. And there will be quite a
few more as I scroll down. In case I don't find
appropriate template, then I can try with something
else, maybe organic diet. See, now I have a different
kind of templates available. So it is up to you.
You need to experiment whichever keywords
fits in your niche. And you may find something more interesting and appealing using a different set of keywords. So always explore, always keep trying until you find
the desired template. But again, don't overdo it. Don't fall into the trap
of analysis paralysis. So pick any decent template. Anyhow, we're going
to change that. Suppose I am picking
this template. It has a picture of
some fruits very well presented and
it looks appealing. It has some leaves also
gives natural organic field. So what I'll do, I'll change the
text and then we'll see what else we can
modify in this template. So I'll change that text to say purity organic
first and foremost, the brand name for which we are creating this message post. Now this text is too
cluttered for my liking. I'll delete it. I don't need these texts, these icons, so I'll
delete all of them. Bidding, few, which
I will modify. I'll keep this one and I'll just increase the size of it
so that it is more readable. And simple message
of eat healthy, eat organic can be
written over here. I'm changing this text to
eat healthy eat organic. Let me just resize it
a little bit more. Now, I don't find these forms
particularly tempting here. I would like to experiment
with some other phones. Let's see how this text
appearance of different fonts. I'll go with say,
Nexa Slab again, it's approved feature here. I can have the luxury
of pro fonts here. The pro version,
LCL have to limit myself to the free
versions available. So let me try this one. Maybe something else. This looks better. And I'll change the brand
name to this font as well. Now, I'll increase the
size of the brand name. Maybe I'll put it
somewhere here, since it is not very
sharp over here, I may try some changes which
may help it stand out. So what I can do here, I'll put in a rectangle here. Let me go to the
shapes and elements. See automatically it has taken
a color from the template, which is a nice
feature in Canvas. It automatically matches
the colors for you. Okay, I'll put it here first and maybe increase
the size a little bit more. So that message is
loud and clear. I would try a
different color here. Let me see if it works. No, I need to change it
to something more darker. Perhaps this might look good. Yes, purity organic. It is quite readable. And what else I can do? Maybe I can select the background rectangle and reduce its transparency a bit. Yes, it looks nice. I may alter these leaves
a little bit. Maybe. I can put it here only. That. My fruit pigs are not
interrupted by this. Let me check the balancing of it. It should be in the center. As you can see, it is 18, 18 from left and right. And similarly, I must try to put it in the
center, 45, 45 here. It looks nice. It is not necessity that you
are every time you do it. But in most cases, if you have the
standard dimensions, if you are presenting
the objects in a balanced way within your
graphic, it looks appealing. Sometimes you may need
to manually check, just don't go by the meters. Suppose it, it looks
better a notch higher, or there is no hard and fast rule that I should not do it. Maybe have some effect
to this text here. Let's try a different
color here. See, the black looks
really nice here. Black. Let me have some other
background. Yes. This splice background,
this black color, gives me a border around it. And intercalator is
same as this below one. So it looks much more attractive
and much more appealing. I may adjust it here little bit. So my simple message post
for my hypothetical store, purity organic is ready. And it has nice images. A simple, loud and clear message without any clutter or
overdoing of texts. And a brand name is pretty
much visible over here. That's what we want in
a social media post. And if I need to add
more pages here, I can simply click here
and add a blank page here. Or I may easily
duplicate this page and see now I have two
similar pages here. And I can alter it a little
bit more if I want to have a carousel post that I'll be teaching you
in the coming videos. So there are a lot of editing
hacks that can be applied. And in case you're new
to Canva and you have not seen my Canva for beginners
course on this platform. You can check it over here. It has got all the details
about basic editing features, advanced editing
features in Canva, and whole lot of more
information that will come in very handy while
working with Canva. So don't forget to
check out that course. That will only help your
understanding of the Canva. This was just for
illustration purpose, so I will simply
delete it from here. So I can add more pages
from here as well. Or I can simply do the
add, which is here. In the next video, I'll be
showing you how you can develop this single
Instagram post into a carousel Instagram post by simply adding
new pages to it, adding more relevant
texts to it, and creating a more comprehensive
messaging using Canva. And once your template is ready, you can use the same
template again and again with different messages. And it will be easier for you, quicker for you to design subsequent Instagram
content using Canva. And besides this, there is
one more advantage with this. If you keep doing this, your Instagram will have
a kind of consistency that will give it a brand
identity of its own. And that's what you want from your social media
profiling, isn't it? As always, I can
download it from here. I can download the JPEG, which is the best for sharing. Or if it is for social media, I can download PNG as well. Png is lighter, but it gets pixelated once it's size is increased to a
certain degree. But there's no problem. You can download
JPEG as well as PNG. Png is lighter, remember that? So it is always
advantage when it comes to putting it on social media
or shareable web platform. So I can download either one of them if you want to upload
it as a project video, you can certainly use the JPEG version because
it is best for sharing. But for your actual
Instagram accounts, if you're designing something, you should always prefer PNG. So that is a simple thumb rule. So this was it in this video. In the next video, I'll be showing you how you can develop this single Instagram photo post into a carousel
Instagram photo post. And it will be very
easy from here onwards. And we'll be taking forward
this particular design only. And later on, we'll
develop it further into a video post as well. So thank you for watching. See you in the next video. Keep watching, keep learning.
6. Design a Carousal of Photo Post: Welcome learners. In the last video, we have created a single
Instagram post using a template for our
hypothetical store, purity organic hair. What we'll be doing,
we'll be developing the same post into work, terrorism of post using
the same template. And you will learn how
easy it is once you've ever front-page or
a single photo post developed how you
can multiply it or add more pages to it and create a more comprehensive
and detailed messaging for Instagram using Canva. As I've told you in the one
of the previous videos, that you can have
up to ten images in your carousel
post for Instagram. So what we'll be doing will be having four or five pages here, which is a standard of
their most parasol poster, about four to five pages only. Rarely you go to
that standard of ten pages because
in social media, shelf-life of content is
relatively lesser and people don't like longer
version of content. So four or five gives you a
almost appropriate length when there is a balance
between the quality of messaging as well as
length of the post. Both are important for you. You don't want to create
something which people will find it taxing to scroll
or texting to read. You want something
which is readable, which can be caused
by that audience. Four or five visits
standard here. So we'll be going by
the standards here. So let me add one
more page here. So what is a static
way of doing it? I can keep the background
color constant. There is no problem with that. Again, my preference as
well as my observation is that most people like to
use the alternate colors, the dark in the lighter
shade in alternate slides. And that gives you a kind of more aesthetic
look to your post. It looks more
professional and you don't get bored and doesn't give you a kind of monotone
us feel while scrolling your
Instagram Carousels. I'll change the color of this particular post
to a lighter version, lighter color, which
we have used here. This one is perfect.
Now what I'll do, I'll add one more
page and change its color to the darker shade. One more page, I'll change
it to the lighter shade. Now, we have four pages over, front-page and lighter shade, followed by darker and
lighter respectively. So what I'll do here, I'll design the page
number two first. That is clearly mentioned
it is a page number two. I may also assign it a title, but there is no requirement. For the sake of ease,
you may use this option, but I honestly think it
serves a little purpose, so I won't be adding
any name here. Only page number is
sufficient for me, rather than opting
for a new text. One shortcut we'll
be trying here. I'll be simply copying
this and duplicating it. I've selected this and
I'll do control D. And I've duplicated
it and see how easy it is I can drag
it to another slide. Isn't that awesome?
By doing this, I've achieved two benefits. I have created the text in the same font as well
as in the same size. It just quickens up
my design process and saves a lot of time. So I'll change the color of this text to something darker. Again, see consistency
is the key here. If you are not consistent
with your color scheme, you will come out as an
amateurish designer, as unprofessional designer. And your post will not look like an professionally made
Instagram account or a professional
and serious brand. So it is always better that you stick with a set of colors and your customers will take you more seriously once you
develop a template, wants to develop a color scheme, or once you pick a set of fonts, stick to that as
long as possible. And just keep changing your
messages and images and broader color theme
fonts and your style of presentation should
remain consistent so that over a period of time, your audience will
get used to it. Once they'll see your post, they will instantly recognize
that it is from your store. And you will develop
that recall value, which is very important
for any business. So coming back to
this, what we'll do, we'll change the message here and see what we can add to this. Don't overfeed your
slides with the text. Choose lesser words and
remaining message should be conveyed through your
images and overall slide. So if you over burden your slides with
them text messages, then it looks clumsy and nobody liked the clumsy content
on social media. Remember, they are not
looking for a blog, they're looking for
social media image. Let me add a matching
graphic here. This looks nice that
we place it over here. Little more line spacing. We'll do this one. We'll use the white text. Again. I'll simply duplicate
this text Control D, and drag it into the next slide and change the color of it. Let me make it white. I mentioned here, choose from the best quality
fruits and vegetable, and also enjoy our range
of nuts and seeds. So let me have a picture of
some nuts and seeds here. This looks nice. And have it here. Now I have this one here. Let me try it without
a background. It has a table background. Let me see if it works well
without the beggar mode else will revert to this
original picture only. Work for that what
I'll do, again, you can go to my course on Canvas for weakness for
more details on how you can remove bedrooms using both pro and free
version of Canva. Explain that in greater
details in that class. So please go and watch that
class on this platform. So let me select this one and
see what we can do with it. Edited image and we click
the background remover. Just wait for the
magic to happen. And magic happens. So there it is. It looks very nice. Let me resize it a little bit. It looks perfect now. See Solver slide three is also ready made
three slides so far. The homepage or the front
page of the Catechism. The second page where
we have mentioned about fruits and vegetable as a
product of our company. Then in the third
phase you have added about range of nuts and seeds that are sold
by S. So finally, on the fourth page,
we can maybe write, contact us here that
we add text again. Again, I'll duplicate this. I'll drag it below, change the color to
the darker shade, which we're using
throughout this template. And what would be there, that would be this brown. And I'll mention over here for great offers and discounts
counts per visit us at purity organic dot
or something like that. I'm assuming this is a
website of my company. And I've given a message
that for great offers, you can contact us
at this website. It is important to mention
your contact point, your call to action in any of
your social media postings. So Instagram is no different. Instagram carousel post also
works on the same principle. Once you have showcase your
product about your company, you want people to go to address where they can actually
buy your products. So call-to-action is
very, very important, and usually it is given in the last slide of
your carousel post. So I have developed my
single photo post for purity organic with a simple
message, eat healthy, eat organic into a much
more detailed messaging where I'm advertising about
fruits and vegetables, seeds the nurse as
offering of my company. And in the end, I've
also given the call to action where I'm driving
traffic to my store, I'm mentioning the
name of a website. Of course, more details
can be given in the Instagram description
where there is a limit of 2000 words and it
should be utilized to make your photo post or carousel photo post or any other post on
Instagram effective. So this was it in this video. In the next video,
I'll show you how you can create a video post for Instagram for the same theme of this organic store named
desperately organic. So see you in the next video. Keep learning, keep watching.
7. Design a Video Post: Welcome learners. In this video, I'll
be teaching you how you can create
video-based post for Instagram using Canva will continue with our
existing theme of purity, organic, hypothetical
organic store. And this is the
template that we have created so far in this class, where we started with a
single photo post and develop it into a
carousel of photo posts. We'll take it one step further. We'll add some video elements, some videos, slides
to this carousel. We'll start by adding a page to this existing
template from here. In case we don't need any of the existing slides
in this template. We can always delete that before downloading
the final version. So see how it can be done. I'll simply type fruit video because it is related
to my subject here. And from the Canva library, it has given me the option of quite a few clips
related to fruits, and I can pick any of them
for the illustration purpose. Suppose I have decided
on picking this one. The moment I click this, the whole slide will be
covered with this video. It's dimension will
be automatically adjusted according to the
size of the slides in hand. This is easiest way of creating a video-based post for
Instagram in Canva, simply add a slide and
click on a video and it will automatically be taking over the
whole slide for you. And you can edit
that video clip, the text elements on it, and sometimes some images on it, and make it your own by adding your own creativity
and customizations. So let's do it here. I'll be adding a
brand name here. Let's change this text. I have written over
here, enjoy over a range of organic fruit juices. Let me resize it a little bit so that it is clearly visible since there is no option of ordering from the
slide in Instagram. So I won't be using
this particular option. I will use this beautifully
designed button for some other texts. Maybe I'll write,
visit our website. Let me resize it a little bit
so that it covers the text. Let me adjust this arrow now. I made it bold so that it
is clear and easy to read. Let me change the color
of this text from white to brown
over slight color. I will also change the color of this background to
something different. Yes. Just see how much this color scheme is already in sync with our existing slide. This is what I meant
by consistency in using color and fonts. I would be changing
the font as well in order to maintain
the consistency. Although I'm tempted to retain this particular font because it is going really well with this. But for a branding sake, there should be consistency. And this is a thumb rule, and as far as possible
you should stick to this. So let me change it
to existing phone, your silver one, which has been used throughout this slide. I don't need this number. I'll be deleting this text here. Simply select this
and delete it. Let's try and retain as it is. It goes well with
our existing theme. This was very basic kind of video elements that I found
in the Canva library. It is more of animation
or Jeff kind of thing. But if I want a
proper video to be inculcated in my
Instagram slide, I can do that in Canvas as well. For that, I need
to have the video in the upload folder
of Canva fast. I will be downloading
a video from Pexels. Upload that video to the
upload folder of Canva. And from there I'll be using
that in separate slide. So let me download the
video from Pexels first. My video is already here. I have downloaded from
Pexels and uploaded it here. You can use any of the
sources for free video clips. There are quite a few available. Measure one or Pexels, Pixabay, Unsplash, et cetera, where you can get
royalty-free photos and cliffs for using with
your Canvas accounts. So what I'll do now,
I'll add another slide. Maybe change its color
to the lighter one. Then I'll add this video here, resize it and adjust
it in the slide. I'll duplicate this text again. Control D, drag it
to the next slide. See workflow is similar. Once you get a heck of things
it is very easy to do. I'll change the color
of this text to darker one and change the text itself. Choose from the choices
range of organic apples. This is what I have
written over here. I'll align this text
properly in this slide. Maybe increase this video
clip size little bit. This looks fine and balanced. Now I will adjust the slides and delete the unwanted once. Let me delete this one. This one too will retain this Call to Action slide and the homepage
slide, the front one. And it's just a
numbering of the slides. I'll bring this one to the last. It's very easy. Simply click here and it
will go down. One more step. Notice at the end of the slide, let me adjust this one. Let me make it as a
second slide because we want to maintain
that consistency of alternate colors,
color, backgrounds. Now I have two video elements, slides in this carousel post. One is a full fledged
video and other is a sort of an emission or GIF. And this is our homepage
and call to action slide. I may change the
homepage as well, but I would like to retain it as it is only for the
purpose of illustration. Now my video template for
Instagram is ready in Canva. I can download it from here. Let me click the share
button, then download. It is automatically showing
me suggested MP4 video. This is what I want
because I don't want it in the PNG or JPEG format now because it has
some 3D elements. So all four pages, default settings are there and
sizes 1080 by 1080 pixels. This is what I want. And simply I'll click
on the Download. And my wow video template is ready for usage on Instagram. It is now loaded. Let me
show you how it appears. This is all it appears. I'll play it from here. It has default timing
of 5 s per slide. I got to change it to
anything else if I wanted. But this is standard
and it's good enough. I hope you liked this video. In the next video,
I'll be showing you some advanced
techniques of adding videos as well as
images to your slides. Next video will be about a very important
concept in Canva, that is the usage of
frames and grids. So stay tuned for that, keep learning, keep watching.
8. How to use Frames & Grids in Canva : Welcome learners. In this video, we
shall be talking about a very important
concept in Canva, that is a use of
frames and grids. Friends and grids are incredibly
useful tools for adding videos and other media files
to your designs in Canva. So if you are familiar
with frames and grids, it will make much more
easier for you to create quality video and image
based designs in Canva. And for this course on
Canvas for Instagram, this will come in
especially handy. Let me show you what
frames and grids are. So let us start with
the frames first. So this is our existing
purity organic theme design, and I'll be adding a page to it. So let me go to
the elements first and I'll be looking
for frames here. It is showing me a range
of different frames. Let me see if all of them first. Suppose I want to use this
particular frame here, I'll be simply clicking
it and it will be read to my slide
automatically. I can resize it
whichever size I want. And what it does for me. It would make it
easier for me to add videos and images to it. Let me just show you
how I can add a video to this particular frame and
what we can do with that, let me click on the photos and mentioned video
here and see. Suppose I want to add
this particular video. If I click it, it will come. Normally. This is the way it will come. I can resize it, put it on the entire slide. That is the normal
course of action. But I want to do
something else here. So I wouldn't be doing this. What I'll be doing,
I'll be dragging this to see I selected this and I'm just moving my cursor over
the selected frame. And the moment I live it, just see what happens. The image, the video, whatever file it is, it is automatically adjusted to the dimension of
the frame in hand. I can increase its
size from here itself. But as you can see, scale and proportion are constant here. That is the beauty of frames. Suppose I want to showcase a particular section of this
video file in this frame, then what I need to do, I need to click on the picture
itself within the frame. See, it appears in this way. Now, it means that I'm able to resize the picture according
to my whims and fancies. I'm not bound by the preset
dimensions of this frame. See, I can increase the
size of this picture. I have taken this whole video
portion out of this frame. Only this corner of the
video is seen in my picture. If I click here, now, see only that corner
is seen in this frame, rest of the picture has
gone out of the focus. Let me undo this. Remember I can enlarge the photo ensure corner of the photo or a
portion of the photo, but I cannot reduce the size of the photo lesser than
the frame itself. Remember, you need to double-click to resize a photo
or a video within a frame. Again, I'm double-clicking here. Suppose I want to make it
smaller than the frame itself. See, it is not happening,
it won't happen. So you can enlarge it. You can make it larger
as much as you want, but you cannot shrink it below the size of
the frame itself. So this is a limitation
you need to keep in mind while working
with frames in Canva. So this was our frame. Now let me add a grid
and I'll also tell you the find new and
it's fine difference between the grid
and the frame here. So let me first
write a grid here. Then we'll talk about what is the use of having
frames and grids, and what are the difference
between the two? In Canvas? I'll click the elements
here and write grid here. Now, it is showing me grids. Suppose I've decided to add
this particular grid here. Let me just reduce its size. For the sake of understanding, let me just enhance the overall size of
the canvas from here. This is a frame and
this is a grid here. So what can I do with the grids? I can add videos, images, or my uploaded photographs or
any other media file that I want to use in my slides
using both frames and grids. Where the fine difference comes. I'll tell you, let me use
this particular video. Say I'll be adding these
two portion of the grid. I can add another video to this portion and
another to this motion. Now have three simultaneous
video designed in a beautiful set of
frames within this grid. How it is different from
this frame feature? Where does it require to
offer us grid as well? Why can't it just
offer the frames? I'll tell you why. See what
is happening with grids. If I resize this grid,
what will happen? I can virtually changed
the scale and dimension of all the images are all the
video files within this grid. It cannot be done in the frames. Let me show you the scale and dimension will
remain same until unless I'll double-click on
the image and enhance it. Again, I cannot reduce it, but certainly I can enhance it, but I need to double-click
within the frame itself. But if I want to resize the whole canvas here
within the slide, then. I can resize it by clicking
on the side option. This side option is
not in the frames. Notice this there is no
side option in the frames, but in the grid case,
there is a side option. I can reduce it or enhance
it from all four sides. So that is a subtle
difference between frames and grids and both home
their utility in Canva. And suppose I want to resize it without distorting the
scale much like the frames. Then there are
corner buttons here. What I need to do
simply need to press the Shift key and then drag it. See. Now the scale will remain much as was the
case with frames. Now this grid is virtually
acting like a frame here. Isn't it? Beautiful? Remember, I need to
press the Shift key and then read through
this corner butter. Any of the four corner button
will do the trick for me. If I'll use this one here, again, it will distort
the dimension. I need to drag either of the four corners with
Shift key pressed. If I want to alter a particular
frame within a grid, I need to do the same thing as I was doing with
this single frame. Simply double-click here. Now this image, this particular frame will work like independent
frame and I can enhance it and apply this corner or this portion of the image within the frame. I can only announce the image. I can introduce it lesser
than the size of the frame. I hope this subtle difference
between frames and grids, as well as similarities between the two is
clear to you now. Now question comes, where does frames and grids come in handy? So they can be used to add layers of designs
to your slides, make them look
more professional. Or I can simply
add some colors to this and give it a
different hue altogether. See this, this is
a matching color. Or I may add a contrasting
color to it and use a portion of it as a design
element within my slide. Again, I can play with the
editing features as usual. I can position it backward. I can change the colors, I can add images,
I can add videos, and it just gives me a
layer of creativity, an option to work with
my slides and make them look more professional
and more pro guide of field, which is different from
most common slides, are most common designs that
people see on social media. Not everybody is using
frames and grids. So if you are using it, suddenly your slides will
stand out from the crowd and your content will look like a pro content in your
Instagram accounts. So this was it in
frames and grids. You can use them in
single post images, in image or video catalogs
are standalone video slides, whichever way you want, it
just gives you another option, another set of tools to
work with your designs. I hope you found it useful
and helpful and you would be excited to use this
tool in your designs. So with this, I'll be
concluding this video. In the next video, I shall be talking about Instagram stories. And I'll be teaching you
what are they and how you can create them using
the power of Canva. So thank you for watching this. See you in the next video.
9. Create an Instagram Story: Hello friends, welcome
to Instagram stories. In this video, we shall
talk about how we can use the power
of Canva to create, enticing, interactive
and powerful stories for your
Instagram profiles. Let me just pick the
Instagram story template from search bar. Here it is 1080
by 1920 pixels or nine by 16 aspect ratio.
Let me click this. Now I have a range of templates available for Instagram stories. I can pick any of them. So I'll start by a blank Canvas. As always, I always
prefer this mode. Since our theme is
purity organic, we'll continue with that in
the story segment itself. So we'll be designing
a story for some sort of organic fruits and
vegetables supplies. So let me pick some
templates accordingly. I have typed organic food, and I have the range of
templates available. Suppose I go with this one. I'll change the title here to my brand name that
is purity organic. Let me deal on it and change to over continuing
font voiceover one. Let me resize it a little bit. Maybe change the tagline to
eat healthy, eat organic. Let me resize it a little bit. Adjust this image a
little bit, make it bold. It looks fine. Maybe I should change this
image to something else. Let me show a bowl of
fruits and vegetables. Yeah, this looks nice. Let me put it here. Let
me change colors of it. Standard colors here,
which was roughly brown because it
is a new template. So it is not reflecting
over earlier color. I'm not modifying an
existing template. I've started from scratch, as it would have shown me the standard colors that
I've been using throughout. More or less, we have
found the same goddess. But ideally there should be a brand kit or we should
have stored over colors. I'll talk about how
you can build and use brand kits in
a separate course. I'll be coming up with that sometime in the future
on this platform. So keep looking
out for that also. But usually if you are modifying our template and how you
can modify a template, just copy the template. I'll show you at later stages in this course
how you can do that. Just simply copy your existing
designs and modify it. That way you can keep your
colors and fonts constant. And it won't be
difficult for you to recall your existing
set of colors and fonts if you are not able
to get to the brand kit, of course, brand kits are
the best way to do it. I'll talk about it later in the concluding
video of this course. So let me add one
more page here. Let me change the color
of this page to duplicate the texture Control D. I'll
take it to the next slide. Let me add some frame here. Let me change the text first. You are what you eat. I'll change the color of
it to the darker one. Let me announce the
frame little bit. Some relevant images here. Resize it a little bit more so that it is more
clearly visible. Change the color of
this text as well, too. Dark brown. This one
to lighter, wrong. Let me add some leaves here. Let me duplicate
it. One more slide. I'll make it darker.
Duplicate text here. Transform it to the next slide. Change the text color to
light driven by a range of organic products from over stool at some line
spacing to it. Is it purity, organic dirt? I have added a frame here and I'm putting a relevant image here to make this slide
little bit more appealing. So let me add some, maybe lemons to it. See it looks
beautiful, isn't it? The text in the bottom half, an image in the top. Put it horizontally,
increases size. How amazing it looks. So I have radar
Instagram story for our hypothetical organic
store named purity organic. The simple message
of eat, eat organic. And you are what you eat. And you can buy organic
products from our store. That is purity organic daughter. Again, it is a
hypothetical name. See, stories are
more or less same as your other Instagram content. Only difference is that its
dimension is nine by 16. That is a vertical format, not the square one, as is the case with the
Instagram post. In other words, it is
mobile-friendly and more conducive to
seeing it on mobile. And since most traffic these days on social media
comes from mobile-only. So stories are
incredibly powerful and useful tool in your hand. One more differences there. That is the ability
to add music to it and create a video format. Let me add music to it. There is amazing range of music available in Canva
audio library. And you can pick any other tracks since
I hold a Pro account. So I have the liberty of
choosing from the proof. But you can get free music files nonetheless. They're
also very good. So let me pick broom
music file here. This looks nice. I can adjust it. Suppose I wanted from here, see, from the beginning it
was building a nice tempo. So it looks more smooth
and more organic. Here. It goes well
with our team design. By default, see there
are three slides. 15 second timer is there. I can increase the time, but 15-second for three
slide is good enough. So normally there's
no need to change it. There's no point in creating a longer content for a format which is essentially made
for shorter content. So we'll stick to
the standards here, but there's always the option to increase the
timing of the slides. So let me just play this one. Okay? So there are certain amendments
that can be done to this, which I've noticed
while playing. So let me do that first. So you need to play it multiple times before coming up
with the final version, especially in the initial
phases of your design process. Once you are getting a hack of the canvas or you're used
to designing your story. You are clear with your fonts, colors, and standard practices. It will become much
more easier for you, much more quicker for you
to design your stories, or for that matter, any other content for your
Instagram in Canva. So first I need to maybe
reduce its size a little bit. It looks nice now. This color, I need to get it a little
lighter. I believe. It is still on the darker side. I think this looks better now. I'm going with a
tentative colors because I don't have my
brand kit ready here. It's a brand new design which I have designed from scratch. So I'll be taking only
tentative colors. So this one looks fine. So this was it in this
video where we have created a beautiful audio
visual story for our Instagram
accounts using Canva. In the next video,
I'll be teaching you how you can add animations and effects to your story to
take it to the next level and make them more interactive and appealing to your audience. So stay tuned for that. Keep learning, keep watching.
10. Art of Applying Animations to Stories!: Welcome learners. In this video, we shall be adding
an emissions to over existing story that we have created in the previous video. And emissions can
enhance the quality of your stories and make them
look the next level stuff. So in this video you will
learn the tricks of the trade, how you can add an
emission one-by-one to the different elements of your story or the full
pages of your story. I will teach you both. So continuing from
the previous video, we'll be adding animation
to the same story that we created in
the last video. I made an emission to the
entire slide at one go or particular elements within a slide, I'll show you both. So let me start by
this entire slide. Once I click here, you can notice a
blue line over here. This blue line indicates that a whole slide has been selected. So any animation
I apply here will be applied to the
whole page as such. So let me show you
how it is done. So this is the whole
page animation. I'll try different animations and see whatever
works best for me. I think this one looks nice. Party one. So I'll
go with this one. I have an option of
applying the same animation to all pages in case
you're short on time, you can always go
for this option. But for sake of instructing you, I'll be showing you element-wise animation
in a second page. You get to know that method
of applying innovation also. So let me just add an
emission to this text. This is fine. I
led to this frame. This is also nice. Similarly to this frame
in the third slide, I'll add something else. It gives a kind of variety
and makes your content a little more interactive
and catchy to the eyes. I'll go with this
one. This looks nice. And again, writing any
mission to this on maybe send to this
ascender is fine. And now I have applied full-page animation
to the first page and element-wise animation to
the second and third page of this story template
which I have created. I've just used a template for
reference in the frontpage. Last second, and third pages have been
created by me from scratch. You could use a template
which already has 345 pages. You may choose to
retain couple of pages, 3 pages, 4 pages, or maybe two pages and add two pages from your own
side. It's up to you. It is up to your creativity and your expertise with Canva. And that expert eyes will
only come with practice. The more you practice, the
more good you'll become at it. So let me just see
how it appears. But playing it, see how
much better it appears now. It has got life
into it, isn't it? No, my stories
ready for download. I go to the download as
a standard procedure. And by default it
will show me MP4 and that's what I need
here. All three pages. I need all three pages and
I'll just click the Download here. Know the story. Video file is downloading, which is 15-second long, has three slides as different
kinds of animation in it, as my brand's color, fonts and overall message. So this is all. I have
created an Instagram story in Canva for my hypothetical
brand purity organic. And I've done that in
a metro few minutes. So replace this purity organic with your
own brand and see the potential of
these stories for your brand messaging and
for your business growth. So I'll just check
this downloaded file, see how it appears. I hope you liked this video. You have learned something
useful in this video. In the next video,
I'll be talking about how you can create story highlights and
keep your stories. Usually stories are
for 24 h duration, they vanish automatically
after that. But in case there are
some good stories, stories which are timeless, which you feel
should be there on your profile and can be
used in some other way. In future. You want to
keep a collection of that. You can do that by
bundling them together and putting under
a story highlight. That highlight. You need to
design a highlight cover. In the next video, we'll
be doing precisely that. So keep learning, keep watching. See you in the next video.
11. How to Design a Story Highlight Cover: Welcome learners. In this video, we shall be
talking about how we can create our Instagram story,
highlight covers in Canva. So far you have
learned how to create powerful enticing
Instagram stories. And you have also understood that stories are only meant to be for 24 h duration
on your profiles. But in case if you
want to keep them for a longer duration or reuse some stories in
some other way in future. Then there is option of
collecting them under the story highlight
covers on your profile. So first we will write Instagram
story highlight covers. In the search bar. From here we'll be
clicking this option. And it will show us by default, templates for story
highlight covers. As you can notice,
these templates are, I can reach most of the
covers only have icons in them because that is
what suits for the covers. You need too many graphics are too many other elements on your Instagram story
highlight covers. You only need the icon
that is symbolic, that tells you what this
story is all about. I will again start with
a blank canvas here. As usual, I always prefer that. So let's click the
blank Canvas here. I have an option of
adding templates here, or I can simply add
colors here and then add icons as per my
own Requirements. Suppose I'm adding a color here, Let's change the color here to something which is relevant
to my brand colors. Let me just choose this one. Since our theme for this
course is purity organic, hypothetical organic
food company. So we'll continue with that only in the story
highlight covers sections to this was
roughly over color here. So what we'll do, we'll
simply add icons here. So I will be clicking
on the elements here. Then we will write fruits, and we can pick any
of the icon here to make it look
even more stylish. We may offer this fruit
shape frames here. Let's try this one. Okay? And what we'll do, we'll add this apple here, see how beautiful it looks. It is not going well
with all backgrounds, so we may change it to the lighter region of
this particular color. If we want to retain this icon, then let's change the
color of the background. Yeah, it looks fine on C, makes sure that you only
have a little bit of texts if at all any texts on
your story highlight covers. Most people preferably
icons here, but you can have a little
bit of text to guide your audience what this story highlights or this collection
of stories all about. So I'll use a texture. Let me add heading here. I may even add a
background here. If I don't want to
go with the colors. Let me make it bold. Little bit larger. Organic fruit stories. See I have duplicated it
and a second page is ready with the same dimensions
and same elements. So I'll change the text
here to healthy lifestyle. Change this image to, I need to change
this frame as well. Let me add a
relevant image here. See, I have created two story covers in Canva in a
matter of few minutes. And I need to be consistent
with all my covers. I may have 456
different story tags. I may segregate my content
into organic fruit stories, healthy lifestyle tips,
or organic food recipes. Similarly, I may add something
like healthy travel tips. See I need to segregate
my stories into four to six different
subcategories which are relevant to my
audience and all my content, which is in the stories form. It will be classified
in each one of them. And my audience can watch them in future as
and when they won't. I may also retrieve very easily from my Instagram
profiles if I want to use the same story as something else in my account in future, maybe if I've created
a good enough video because there's a
vertical format and reals are also
vertical format. So I can easily use my
stories as reals at some other point with
little modifications or even without modification. So collecting stories
makes lot of sense, especially if you have
put in the hard work to create enticing and
quality stories, you don't want to
lose them after 24 h. This 24-hour things gives
you a formal effect, fear of moving out. So people are more interested in watching them
before they disappear. It has its own purpose. But once you have shown a story, maybe you can use
them few months down the line are few weeks down the line in some other format. I hope the point
is clear to you. So stories have their place in Instagram and it is very
easy to create story covers. In Canva as a thumb rule, you only need one or two icons, preferably one I can only
purchase to recover, and one or two lines of text. Or you may even go
without text also. But I prefer with very
limited descriptive text that helps people recognize what this set of stories
are all about. I hope this section
is clear to you. You can easily download these
colors from here as usual, download them in the PNG format. So I have downloaded
two stories. They are in the zip format because there are more than one. I can simply unzip
them in my folder in computer and upload them in my Instagram accounts
as a story covers. So I hope you have understood the concept of story
highlight covers, and you will find
this video useful. In the next video, we'll
be talking about how we can create Instagram Reels. And reals are undoubtedly the most popular and most
powerful content type in Instagram that can be created
using Canva in a metro. Few minutes, I'll be showing
you that in the next video. So stay tuned for that. Keep learning, keep watching.
12. How to Create an Instagram Reel: Welcome learners. In this video, I shall be
talking about Instagram Reels, and I'll teach you
how you can create Instagram reels in
Canva with ease. Instagram Reels are undoubtedly the most popular and
most powerful kind of Instagram content that one can
create for their accounts. I'm sure by now you will be
convinced Canva is one of the best tools to create any
form of Instagram content. Instagram Reels or no different. So let's take forward our hypothetical team
project purity organic, and create an exciting instagram
read for that project, I will be writing Instagram
Reels here in the search bar. As you can see, there is no
dearth of templates here. We can pick any of them to
create our Instagram real. Again, we'll go with
the scratch only. So we have a blank
canvas here with a vertical aspect
ratio of nine by 16. That is what is needed
in Instagram Reels, as was the case with
Instagram stories, I'll be choosing a
background here. I will add a frame here. Let's click the element
first. Then frames. I'm looking for a mobile
kind of frame. Here it is. This is one of the
best friends for creating Instagram Reels
and as well as stories, especially stories
are also video-based. So I'll be clicking here. And this premise on my
canvas that we resize it. I won't be covering
the whole screen. I want to leave certain space on all four corners so that
the background is visible. Now, let me add some video here. Since I have not
found any good video which is vertical here, I will be going to Pexels
first and downloading a video which is vertical
and is in my domain, which is organic food. I'll be selecting videos here and look for
vertical by filters. Orientation should be vertical. And this way I can now load a plenty of useful
videos from here. Suppose I go with this one. Let me download this one. I'll be uploading
that downloaded video from my system to canva. Now this video is here,
I can play it from here. Maybe I can try
different backgrounds. This is not going well
with my chosen video. Yeah, this looks better. Here. Add one more page to it. Replicate this first slide. By default it is thirty-seconds
because the video which we have used this
30-second a length, I can reduce their
size if I want, but I'll stick with say 10
s. Let me duplicate this. Now I will remove this frame
and add some text here. I'm typing a message here
from a real let me resize it, then I'll read it for you. Treat your body with a
power pack breakfast of organic eggs, and milk from purity organic. Let's change the font to over-regulate for
this particular theme that is, rise over run. Let me add some
effects to this text. Me change colors a little bit. This affects looks nice. Light in the
background little bit. Now the text is
standing out there. So what we want, let me announce the size of this
particular frame little bit. Make it maybe 8 s. Okay, what should be the
ideal length of your initially Instagram allowed only 15-second length of reads. Then they doubled it
to thirty-seconds. Subsequently they made it 60 s, the middle of 2022. They came up with another
update where they made it up to 90 s. But it is
believed that most trees, which tend to do better or get viral on Instagram are in and around 30 s. So anywhere 30-60 s should be
your target length. For the purpose of explanation, I'll be using three slides and the total length
of around 30 s, but you can make it anywhere 30-60 s. And this much time is this maturation
is good enough to convey meaningful message
to your audience. So let me add one
more slide here. Duplicate this one. Okay, I have written
this text here. So let me add some animations
to this text here. Again, to the second slide also, let me add some animation. Okay? Now, let me enhance
size to 10 s perhaps. Or I'll reduce this text
portion to slightly lesser and increase this video
portion to the maximum, which is 32nd here. It is roughly 30 s.
Let me play it out. The frame is not in the center
and I need to correct it. That is a benefit of
laying it out before downloading any changes that is required you can easily make. So I have noticed two changes. Now it seems fine. In this one, I need to change the animation to something else, maybe because it is
going out of the frame. Let me change this
drift to baseline. This should look good. Now, let me play it again. You can notice it is
very much in the center. Now, this first slide, the frame that we have
used in the first slide, is at the center of the canvas. Again, an emission is working very fine in the
second slide also. Finally, in the third slide, we have corrected
the inhibition, which was not working well. Now the question is,
should I add music to it? Yes, of course I can add, there is lot of music
in Canva or delivery as I have taught you in a story
segment of this course. You can add music
in the same way as you did in the segment. But there's an option of adding a whole lot of more
range of music. In Instagram itself. You can access movie Tracks, some other iconic
pop songs also, some tunes also, which is much, much richer than what
Canva is offering you. So it is advisable to download your rails without
music here and add any relevant music from your
Instagram account itself. That will give you more options. That is a better and
preferred choice of action. So I'll be downloading
this without music. And again, the process is same. Just simply click
the Download button. You need MP4, you read all
three slides and download it. And this really will be
downloaded into your system. From there, you can upload it
in your Instagram account. I hope I'm clear with
designing the reals. In this frame, you
can easily replace a video with your
own face cam video, where you can talk
directly to your audience. That is also a very good
way of creating wreaths and upload that in
your Canvas accounts. From there you can add, as we have added this
particular video, this has it in Instagram Reels. I hope you liked this video and you learned a
very important skill. And you know how to create an Instagram real for your
Instagram account. Now in Canva. With this, I'll be signing
off in the next video. I shall be talking about
project for this course. So stay tuned for that. Keep learning, keep watching.
13. Class Project: Create a Reel! : Welcome learners. Finally, we are in
the project video of this course named as
Canva for Instagram. For this project, you
are required to create a three slide Instagram story or similar sized Instagram
real for that, I'll be showing you steps,
what you are required to do. I'll be giving you an
example of a real, almost similar steps apply
to the Instagram story. So let me just select a blank
canvas for Instagram Reels. I'll be starting
by a blank canvas. You may opt for a template
because that will give you an opportunity to apply more of the skills that you have
learned in this class. So let me just open a
blank canvas first. Once the canvas is opened, you can add a background to it. Suppose I have added
this background. I need to add some photos
or some videos to this. So for that, I would
suggest you to add a grid. To get to the grid, just click the elements first
and then type grid. A grid is available now, resize it, keeps some blank
size on all four sides. Or maybe you can even
not for putting the grid in one half of the slide, you may leave the top
blank or the bottom blank, but it is advisable to keep
it in the center image. Click on the photos first. What some image here.
Duplicate the slide. Remove this grid
types of message. Do some formatting
with your text. Size. Maybe add some
effects to your text. See there are quite a few things that you've learned
in this course. And it is up to you
whatever you want to apply in this project. Maybe add one more grid here
at some relevant images. Or maybe a videoclip.
Found this video clip. Let me add this here. And
I'll be arranging the slides. Adjust the length of
this particular slide, add one more space here. Maybe I'll go with this
greenish background. Contrast can be used, so I'll use it as a contrast. Try adding images or video
clips without grids and frames at times just
to see how it appears. And it just gives you
a kind of variety. And variety is always
good for your designs. So I will be writing
a message here. Let me change the color of
this text to something else. Let me add some
animation to this, to all the elements here. And this, something else. Maybe I let animation
to this one as well that may typewriter
here for this text. I'll add an image into
this one as well. My Instagram released
roughly of 22 s is ready. Let me check how
it appears I'll be downloading it
without any music, as I've taught you earlier, you have opportunity to add
music while uploading it in your Instagram accounts and
Instagram audio libraries, much, much more advanced
than Canvas audio library. So you can get a
better choice of music and tracks from
Instagram itself. So it is preferable to
download your stories and your rails without music. And Canva. In a metro few minutes, I have created a three
slide, Instagram real. I've added grid,
I've added image, I have added videoclip, I have Edit Effects. I've added animation. I have at its light background, and my real is ready. So you can also do
that for your brand, for your business, it is up to you if you have an
existing business, create and reload our
story for your business, or you can create for some
hypothetical business like I have done
throughout this course. And now you can
easily download it. Click on the download button, you read MP4 format. You need all three pages
and simply download this. And this will be downloaded in your system
and you can upload it from there to your
Instagram. For your reference. I'll be uploading this
particular project files that I've just downloaded here. I'll also be uploading parody organic content that had created while teaching
you this class. I hope you're recreating some very exciting projects and submitting it for my perusal, I will be giving my feedback to all submitted projects and help you get better
at your work. This was it in this
project video. In the next video,
I'll be teaching you how you can retain the
color consistency, the font consistency, even without using
grandkids in Canva. Because grandkids is
a feature that is available with pro
Canva account. And in case you have
a free account, then I will be showing
you a trick to retain your regularly
use fonts and colors for your regular work on Canva regarding your Instagram
accounts or otherwise. Keep learning, keep watching. Stay tuned for the next video.
14. Immitate Brands Kits in Free Canva Account : Welcome learners to
this final video of this course, Canva
for Instagram. I'm sure you have learned a lot and coming
to the fake end of this course as promised earlier in one of
the earlier video, I'll be discussing with you as substitute for Canva brand kits. As you know, Canva
grandkids can help you retain your
consistency in colors and fonts that you use for
your designs and make content creation breeds and
save you a lot of time. So if you don't have a Pro
account, what should you do? I'm giving you a very important
and very interesting tip that can help you implicate some of the
brand kit features, even in the Canva free version. Normally what you do whenever you need to create a design, you click on Create
Design button and choose the kind of
content that you want to create or simply search
in the search bar, the kind of content
you want to create. And from there you go
to the templates or a blank canvas to create
your content from scratch. But in case you have
already done the hard work, chosen few colors, few phones type that goes well
with your brand messaging. And you have created a piece of content
is suppose you have created an Instagram
story or Instagram post. And next time around you want to create another
story, another post. So what you should do, rather than creating
a fresh design, you should simply
copy the design. Let me show you, suppose this story which I had
created for this course, for purity organic
hypothetical brand. If I want to create
another story, what I should do, I should simply click on the
three dots here. And there is our first
option of make a copy. I should click this option. And by doing so, a copy of the same
design will appear as a first entry in my
homepage of Canvas. Now, whatever changes
I will be making, I'll be making to this
copy of the design. You can notice here it's a
copy of my earlier design, copy of purity organic. The purity organic was a
name given to that design. It's a copy of
that design. Fine. In just one swoop,
what I have done, I've imported my text, which is reservoir one. I have also retained my colors. The color template that I used. You can notice the
shades of brown and lighter brown, which
I've used throughout. This brand is available here. So I have imitated some of the functionality
of brand kit. Of course, brand kit has
much more functionality. But I immediately it some
of the common most usage of brand kit in my free
Canva account by simply making a copy in doing
the changes in the copy instead of the original design or creating a fresh design. So this is a great
way of saving you time and increasing the
pace of your workflow. All I need to do is change some images, change
some messages, and maybe add a video to end my story will be ready
containing the same colors, same set of fonts, and giving my brand as sort of consistency throughout
my messaging. I hope the point is clear to you and you will be
benefiting from this tip. With this, I'll be signing off. It was great teaching
you this course. It has been a very exciting
journey for me as well. And I'm sure I've contributed to your knowledge of Canva and you'll be much better
equipped to create your Instagram
content in Canvas. And if you like this course, there's one small request. Kindly leave a positive review because you're positive reviews will help me reach to new
students on this platform. And they will be
also benefiting from your reviews before
choosing a course. So thank you for watching this. Have a good day.
