2. Lesson 1: Overview of Canva: Hello guys, welcome to the first lesson of
Canada for Instagram. And today's lesson,
we're going to do an overview of Canada. To start out, Canada
is a credit designing, programmed as
available on the web, PC, tablets, and mobile devices. This software is
amazing because it has so many advanced
features for free. So you better follow the course. I recommend you using the
web version of Canada, since I will also use
the same version, Let's begin by signing
up for a Canvas account. You can either click on the link in the description to the lead, straight to the sign up page, or you can go to the
website canva.com. Now, you should be led
to a page like this. Start from the top
bar, left to right. We've got template,
which contains different templates for different purposes
organized neatly. Next is features.
As you can see, the first column is
Canvas stock photos. Next is icon, and then
different current products. Next is apps, which
are application, but you can integrate
and youth with Canada. Finally is explore and download, which is quite self-explanatory. And then there's learn. This contains short
tutorial videos that Canva provides
for beginners. Next, plus, examining
the left sidebar part will be quite self-explanatory. So I will just
briefly go through them concurrently
at the recommended for you tab underneath is
all my design where you can find all of your work done on
Canvas and share with you, which contains work, but someone else share with
you to collaborate. Next is classwork,
which I think is a feature of the education
account I'm using. Don't worry if you
don't see it on yours. The next tab is printed, which is what I want to
introduce to you guys. Click on the tab and you'll be directed to a page like this. This is one feature of the caravel Pro account that
I think is to produce more. If you have somewhat
figure it out. Prime design, you could go ahead and upload the logo here, as well as the color palette, which is underneath it. And setup the fonts and sizes for headings
and subheadings. In the bottom right. You may remain a kid here. This feature will
help the design process a lot more
faster and convenient. Moving on, we've got
the content planner. This is where you
can find out when, where, and what you
post on social media. For example, you're going to post a code template
every Friday. You'll select the
plus sign here. Then select the design by selecting the three
dot icon here. You can select the date
and time and edit it. And down here is where you can connect your business social
media channel to Canvas. Next is to write a
description and schedule it. This way, Canada will automatically publish
a content for you. Finally, the two last tab on the left sidebar is the
only folders and crash. Now, select the recommended for you tap to focus
on the main page. What takes the
most space here is basically all the templates
Canva has to offer you. Scroll down to prowess. Finally, at the
right upper corner, there's the search bar. If you know exactly
what you want to do, you can save the time processing
and type right up here. Next is the Help Center, account settings
and notifications. Finally, there's
create a design for, we'll wrap up the first lesson. I want to talk briefly
about Canva pro. As you can see in
comparison here. Canva Pro has more
of everything. More stock photos, templates,
fonts, and features. From my experience, these
values will help you design process much more
effective and professional. Therefore, if you
are planning to use Canva on a long term, should definitely consider
purchasing Canva pro. And if you have a student email, here are two ways that you
can get kappa pro for free. You can go pull up Google
student developer pack, scroll down and do
the sign-up heart. You can search for Canada for
students and sign-up, fair? If you don't have
a student email, can but do offer a 30
day trial for everyone. Just click on the link in
the description to sign up and look to the bottom left
and select try Canva pro. And that is it. We have gone over everything
on the main page of camera. Are you ready to design now, let's go to the next lesson.
3. Lesson 2: Logo Design on Canva: Welcome to Lesson 2, where we'll design a logo. Start out by clicking the
Create a design button on the upper right
corner, then select Logo. Here you can see multiple
designs that Canvas chested. Since we're starting out, let's pick one of these and customize it to fit our friend. The question is, on
which criteria do we select our logo so that
it best our brand? As you can see, kind
of does arranged their design in terms
of what does like. There are ones for
hospital adopters, churches, and so on. However, I recommend you not to stick so tight with
these categories. Here are several other
criteria you should consider. Firstly, I can or no icon. There are generally
two types of logo. First are the ones with icon, and then there may be some
words surrounding it. The other type is just levered, arranged in a certain way,
sometimes just initial. If you have a certain image
that represents you and bind, you should go with
the icon style. Logo is not a non icon
logo is absolutely okay. Color is another
criteria to consider. If your plan have friends, products such as unpackaging, then you should consider
about the color of the logo. Since printing and
color might be more expensive than the
black and white option, you can decide between color
for just click and white, or you may optimize that sorta. It looks good
regardless of colors. Now, let's get into designing. Let's say I'm designing a
logo for a flower shop. After browsing, I like the feel and arrangement
of this logo, so I'll select it. However, I don't like the color, so I'll add a new page. Then I press for a logo that
has nice color combination. I like to shade of green and this logo, so I'll select it. I don't think this icon
is suitable for a forced, so I look for something else,
suitable, select elements. Then I'll type in
the search bar, flower scrolling down,
I like this one best. It looks detailed. And if we look on
the left corner, we can change its color to. So I will resize it a bit. Then removes the original
icon by selecting it. And select the trash can icon
on the far right corner. Now, I'll move the
new icon in place. Next, let's change the text, select the brand name, click on it again, Edit. Let's say our flower shop
name is Rosie Posey. Then select the subheading here and change
it to Flour Shop. Next, I'll select
the little text on the left of the logo. Click on it again, then
change it to establish in 2008. On the right. Let's change it to Seattle. All right, everything
looks good. Now, let's move on to the color. Select the background, then click the box on the
left upper corner. Here you'll see the
light cream color used in the upper
templates we add earlier. Then I'll select the sharpening, then select the underlying
a on the top bar, then click on the dark green. Repeated for all
of her elements. That said, I think we're done. However, let's try to make a black and white version
to see how it looks. Not bad. This could go on and thank
you card or labeled nicely. Okay, so here are
the logo design, the end of width. Now I'm going to show you some resources to
assist you in making Lowell's first the
website, namely x.com. The purpose of the sport side is originally for
generating planning. You only need to enter
your plans keyword here. I'll type in coffee,
for example. Then you select the
preferred link name. I'll go with for shortening. You can select the
name style here. And then you hit Generate. Now I finished suggests
name are not bad. But what are like the
most is that it also include a logo along
with the name, browse fruit us for the
ideas for your own plan. You can also check out a
website called Mark dot io. Select my logo to begin. Follow the steps
and the web will generate numerous logos for you. As a side note, these two websites are just for inspiration for your logo. If you want the exact
Togo generated, you'll have to
purchase the design. I hope you enjoyed the lesson and I'll see you
in the next line.
4. Lesson 3: Color Palette on Canva: Welcome to lesson 3. In this lesson, we'll figure
out r prime color palette. I'll show you several
resources and how you can add custom
color on Canva. Let's start by
looking back at the local we've made in
the previous lesson. Although I do like
to shade of green, but I don't think this
color fit our sharp theme. Which raises the question, how to get the right color? Choose colors that fits. You need to know a bit
about color theory, particularly the
symbolism of each color. Pink, for example, is
dominant and romantic. Yellow represents
playfulness and happiness. The color red evokes a sense
of lightning and so on. You can read more about
this on the clock. I'm link in the description. Next, consider the emotion you weren't required to
convey to the audience, and so much a color depth match. I hope you've had a
color in mind already. Now, I will introduce you to external sources to find a
color palette for your brand. Firstly, is the website
Color Hunt.com. There's a lot going on. So here are several ways
to help make decisions. Easier. Way is to use just search bar. Click on it. If you have an idea of
what color tone you want, you should look at the
first section here. Check out the section below. If you're having a
more general theme and Marine like pastel or spring, you can also prowess
decide more for more color theme or you can
look at popular palette here. Also, you don't have to select
all the colors in one set. You can totally select colors from different
set for your palette. When you're just starting out, you should pick three
colors in the same tone should change its shape
from light to dark. Like. However, a combo of the
contract and color, such as blue and
bread like this, will make your design
Brilliant, attractive. You design well, after browsing, I figured out that I
like this color palette. To illustrate how to integrate
these colors into Canvas, I'll change the
color of the logo, which we made in the last
lesson into this set of color. Firstly, I hover over the color
that I would like to use. Click on the colored code. Then I go back to
my design in Canva. Then I will select the element. Then click on the color
box on the top left. After that, I select sign here. Then I just need to
paste the code in using control V or command V. I think that's quite
a simple process which allows us to experiment with different
color combinations on changing until you
find a great fit. Besides color hunks,
colored dot co is also a great website
suggests and color palettes that
you should check out. I hope you are able
to come up with a color palette for
your brand now. Thanks for watching. Let's move on to
the next lesson.
5. Lesson 4: Making Moodboard on Canva: Hi there. Welcome to
the fourth lesson, where we will
create a moodboard. The final preparation
step before designing. The mood board will make
sure that our design looks consistent and
representative for our plan. To start off, I recommend
you look for inspiration and stock photo platform such
as pixel or an slashed. You can also look at pins on Pinterest to what we're looking for is any photos or graphics that resonates
with our client. To make a mood board, I'll select, Create a design. Then all choose presentations
so I can have a big canvas. For me. I prefer
looking at photos on Paxil because it's
brought in Canva. Here's how I do it. Look at the left side door, at the bottom, select
the More button. Then look at the second
section and select pixel. Now, put on the search
bar and type in flowers. You can type in any object
that related to your brand. To add a photo, you just need to click on it. I'll select a few photos,
then arrange them. You can overlap them. They don't need to
be super organized. Organize. If you want to use photos from Arthur
sources are recommended. Copy and paste them into Canva. You don't have to save
them to your computer. Aside from photos, ish, also look at elements. It's the second
button from the top. For me, I find a lot of cute
flowers growing in Canada element when I type in the keyword flower and I'll
add some in my mood board. You should also add
them into folders on Canvas so we can
access them easily later. Click on the three dots icon. Then click Add to Folder. Let's create a new folder
for this end and name it. Perfect for busy Posey had
entered and you're done. A thing you can do here
is to filter out results. Select the icon next
to the search bar. You can filter by
color, orientation, animation, price, or a
combination of them. Our narrow memory circled down, so static and free graphics. Another tip is that if you
find something you like, for examples graphic, you
can view similar element. Selecting the three dot icon. You can either look at the keywords section here
and search these keyword. Or looked at the see more of
like this button down here. Besides the flowers are also some washi tape and scrap
paper, the analyte. So I'll add them to you. Now. We will add a color
palette in our mood board. Who could increase Mohr
circle on the top left, select the icon to
go back elements, and we'll click on the circle
and the second section, resize it until
you're satisfied. Then duplicated using Control D or clicking the icon on
the top right corner here, ongoing for free colors. So I'll double-click
one more time. Then I'll arrange
them like this. For the first two circles, I'll add the colors are used in the logo and the last Muslim, the process is similar to what
we've done in Muslim free. Solid. The circle, click
on the colored box, click on the plus sign, copy and paste the
color code into it. You can copy this code
from the logo file. For the ovary color. I'm going to look into the colors in your
photos are selected. If you click on the circle, then on the color box, you'll see that
Canada has extract out all the colors and
the photos I've added. I'm going for this
earthy orange. Finally, let's add the font. If you haven't decided
on what font to use yet, you can check out the blog are
linked in the description. For guidance, it
will provide you 20 common font combinations
and their impressions. You can also click
on the text here and scroll down our
font combinations. But camphor has
pre-made for you. If you want to try
out new combinations, you should go to this
really cool website called hot toy.com. You can set the level of contrast between the
fonts at the bar here. You can change the
background here, either black or white. Fiddle around and generate
as many Thomas you'd like to find the perfect
fonts for your brand. For me, only used
on combination, used in the logo. To look at the name of the font, you go back to the logo design. Click on the text, and look on the top left. Back to our mood board. Click on the Text icon
on the left sidebar. Then our add a heading. I'll type in the
name of the farm, but defined in change to
electorial and resize it to 70. To repeat the process
for the second font, click on, Add a subheading, typing the font name. This one will be
an all caps font and change it to FDI euro. This size will be for me to, to see if the colors
I pick fit together. I decided to do
some trial on Sean. So I changed the font to
the dark brown color. Then I add a rectangle and
the orange color behind it. To make the block
appear behind the text, I'll select position on the top bar and
click on backward. Algebra seen for another block in light pink for
the second font. I think these color
works together well. Finally, I'll edit
my friend Kevin. This is optional since
it's a cancer pro feature, but this will help design is so much faster in the future. If you have Canva pro, I'll encourage you to do so. Now our moodboard is complete. The point of making
moodboard is to visualize how the planet
is going to look like. Before I have a very vague idea of how to supply our
shop is going to be. But now as I'm looking at this, I see that I found a
shop with a bit of a rustic feel and a
little bit of nostalgia, but it's also lovely
and colorful. I hope you're also able to visualize your
plan after this. Awesome. Thanks for watching.
6. Lesson 5: Instagram Posts on Canva: Hi there, Welcome to
the fifth lesson. We're finally getting to
make inscribe content, starting with Instagram post. Here's a sneak peek
of what all make. Our goal is a fee that is both consistent and
visually appealing. Here's our workflow. We'll start by looking
at templates and then we'll pick one
and customize it. Once we're more
familiar with Canvas, we will start from
a blank Canvas. Start by opening up canva.com. Then select Instagram post. Look to the left side for a variety of pre-made templates. As you prowess look at the overall layout
of the template, if you see something
that you like, click the three dot icon
and then the heart icon to save it so we can use it later to access
the likes folder, select the three dot icon
on the left sidebar, and then click on folders. Also like, likes. To add a template, you just need to click on it. And now we will
customize this into an announcement post saying that the two of season is here. Begin from the photo, usually in the templates, photos are placed in a frame. You can right-click it, then select detach image
to reveal the frame. Now as sunlight pixel
and search for tulips. Click on the photo, then click on it again to
snap it into the frame. You can double-click
it to reposition it. Here are a few tips that
you need to note down. If you're going to publish dork, I recommend uploading
your images to Canvas for the best
resolution of when exporting. You can edit your photos
directly and Canada by selecting adjust CAN for author all
the popular adjustment. And this lead us
to tip number 4 to ensure that our feed
looks cohesive, you should edit all of your
photos in the same way. If you're not good with editing, you can use one of
the filter below. You can decreased
intensity here. Now, I will change the background color to
match our color scheme. To add the color
from our pellet, you need to go back to the moodboard file
from the last lesson. Click on the color, then on the colored box, then on the plus sign. Press control C to color code. After that, you go
to Instagram post, select the blue background
and the color box, the plus sign and
paste in the code. You only have to do this
once for each color. If you have Canva
pro setup your brand kit so you can access
your palette right away. Like this. I replaced elements in the corner with my
grid paper element, which I saved it. Next folder. I'll put it right over the
old elements like this. Repeat for other corners. Be careful with
the bottom corners as it may snap into the fray. I will also remove
all over elements. For this little box. I'll change the text to new and change its
font and color. Removed background block, and
add a paper washi tape and Stan onto the text. I will remove the
original flight texts, then add a heading
and type in tulips. Season is here. I'll put it in the upper half of the canvas and centered
by selecting position. Then center. After that, I lower it sized to suddenly to change the font. And Victoria said it in all cap. Finally, I'll add a
simple logo, solid texts, then add a sub-heading and type in Rosie Posey with
capitalisation. The size is 19. The phone is adductor area and the color is
too earthy orange. Then I duplicated and
type in Flour Shop. I set it to all caps and
change the font to after Iraq. I'll select them both by
holding the Shift key and click on them one-by-one
and select approved, then position and
center to finish off. Since it's still
look a bit empty, I'll go to elements
and look up dots. I'll select this one, change its colors orange and arrangement like this.
I will duplicate it. A number one to
the left or right. This post looks complete for me. Now, let's try making a
post from a plant Canvas. Click on Add page. This will be a PUT post. The code I page is live is to flower to
which low is Tommy. I was defied the text and
to free courts like this, notice that each part is
in its own textbox for the flower and we love
is to honey part. The font will be electorial. The size is 53, and the color is dark red. Set All tags. I will change that
to which part? To the fall as Deirdre, reduce the size to 45 and
change its color to red. Then I rearranged
the texts like this. I'll select all three tests. We're holding the Shift key
and click on them one-by-one. And I click on Group so
that when I move them, they'll stay in this
exact same arrangement. Finally, I will
center it so I can position then center and middle. Now, let's move on to the colors to help the
text stand out more. I'm put a sort of
block behind it. I'll click on the folder likes. Then on tone paper elements
that I found previously. Our resize the elements slightly but tracking
decide borders. I'll also include the floor of drawings from the mood board. To plan drawing in. I'll alter its color to orange, reduce its opacity to around 25, and move it to the corner. Then I duplicate it and bring
it to the upper corner. I will also add a piece
of tape on the top. Finally, I'll go to
the first post, copy, the top mark comeback
pasted and we're done. As you can see, the
easiest way to keep your feet consistent is to
stick to the mood board. Try to use only to
color in your palette, the elements and the
font you've selected, and the photos in
the scene filter. So wherever your customize a template or started
from scratch, you've posts will
always be on-prem. I hope you're able to create your own Instagram post
after this lesson. If you're curious and to
specifics of my design, you can find out more
in the description. I'll see you in the next lesson.
7. Lesson 6: Instagram Carousel on Canva: Hey, there is this lesson six, and we're making
Instagram Carousels. I'll show you how
to come up with an unique and interesting design that fits right into your feed. Let's get to work. And Instagram traversal is opposed that contained
multiple pictures, display continuously
when you swipe right, who make a seamless
designs that are opposed over more
engaging and appealing. The general plan is
that we'll decide on a canvas as is the total
size of the whole corral. Then we'll use an external
app to split up into squares. Firstly, you need to count
how many slides there is. Arousal. Mine will be 5. Then he open Canva and
select, Create a design. Look down and select a
custom size for the width. You take ten AD
and multiplied by the number of slide and the
corrals or in this example, filthy 1080 times
five equals 5400. The heights can be
overturned AT or 1450. If you were to square
format, go with 1080. If you want more
space, goes with 1350. All goal was 1080. All right, now we'll set up some guidelines to mark the
start and end of each slide. Look at top left of the
screen and select Files. Click on Show Guides. You just need to click
your mouse on the ruler, fairly, drag it out. It will show the length. Here. You're supposed to calculate the distance
between each guide, but here's a tip.
Skip the calculation. Select elements, then
scroll down to crit, select C, All scroll
down and you fly good. But contains five boxes. Click on it. No, you just need to drag the guide to the white
lines of the grid. After that, you remove the grid. This will work for any arousal until ten
slides in a lane. We also need to determine
the center of each slide. So I will add guidelines
for that to who the horizontal line slight
decrease it with two boxes, and type the guidelines
to the market. When the two boxes form, anew, knew the grain. And scroll down and select
the one with ten boxes, and repeat the process. Now, I will add our light
pink color, brown color. You have to copy and paste
the color code again, since this is a new file. For inspiration, you
can look on Pinterest, Creative Market, or triple
search for Instagram arousal. Today, we'll show you
how I get inspired by Canvas template and come
up with an arousal idea. My inspiration is disposed
about issued food, particularly this film frame. I then go to element and
then frame to look for it. I'll put one in each post. So when you scroll, it looks like an old-style film. Onto the content disposed or be about Valentine date idea. I'm sure you're familiar with adding content on
canvas design already. So I'll skip the small
steps in this awesome. However, I'm only add that, be sure to use the duplicate
Fisher to save time. For example, for
the second slide, I'll have a new
text box. Instead. I'll slide above of the
ISS from the first. Duplicate them and
turn them over fan, I'll just replace the text. While we're working on text. I want to introduce you to further editing and
you can do more text. Her spine is facing. Click on this icon. You can just space between
each character in mind. The second thing is the
effects. On Canvas. You can try out
different families, like hello or curve. The food is animation. You can do several basic
texts, animation on Canva. To learn more about
appealing texts arrangement, check out my course
on typography. Now until the images. For me, I'll use stock photos. Make sure to use
the same filter on all photos to achieve
the cohesive look. The only tricky thing here is how to make the visa
seems to match. You just need to pick
a horizontal photo. Then you apply the
filter and duplicated. One will go to the right slide and one will go to the left. After that, you double-click the photo and cool
it to the left. Double-click on the right and
pull it until you can see the plural part match with
the photo on the left. And that said, finally, let's add some elements. In terms of traffic arrangement, I suggest you left the
elements speak a bit into its adjacent post to enhance
the continuing really. Don't just cut them off sharply. For example, look at this hard. I've included the middle of all the elements
are used as well as the other key part in the description in case
you're interested. Now, I will export
this design by selecting the Download button
on the top right corner. After that, I'll
go to the website, tying tools.com
slash dash image, upload your image, then set
how to image to horizontal. The output format will be PNG and the quantity would be the
number of slide on causal, in this case is five. Then click on Split image. I like to download the
zip file and we're done. The design is ready to upload. I hope you find
it wasn't helpful and I'll see you in
the next lesson.
8. Lesson 7: Instagram Story and Highlight on Canva: Hello and welcome to lesson 7. This time, we'll
learn how to make Instagram story and
highlight cover. I will show you how
to edit videos on Canvas at audio and more. Let's get in. As always, opened up canva.com. Click on Create a design, scroll down and select
Instagram story. Look to the left to Krauss for a template, I'll pick visible. Now I was first
select the background and click on the colored
box to change its color. After that, I will
select the arrow and alter their
color to dark red. I'll do the same for
the word fun fact. Then I'll select the subtitle down here and change
the font to a 0. And this is color will be
seen as just takes a boat. Once that's done, I'll add my
content in onto the media, will remove the
original 1 first. Then I'll go to element
of scroll all the way down and select the first
one correct section. I will click on position
then to front after bad, I'll tilt it a bit, align it with one
border of the frame, and resize it so that it fits
into the frame like this. Then I duplicate it and
move it frame above. You can move it slowly using the arrow buttons
on the keyboard. Duplicate it again
for the final frame. Now, you may wonder, why don't we just add
the photo directly. This is actually a tip. I suggest you add a frame first so that it'll
be much easier for us to position the
photo as well as test out different photo
combination leader. All right, let's add in the photos I've selected
to photos and advanced. So I'll go to my blacks folder. I'll have this picture
to the top ring. And this one will
be in the bottom. As you can see, that picture
snap right into the frame. You can reposition it
by unclick this way, you won't risk fricking
its resolution. Then I'll go to element, look up the governor and add this video in the center frame. Look to the top bar for
video editing option. You can change the
video link here. Profit, flip it and
setup animation. Click on the play button on the top right corner
to watch the video. Review. If you want to
use your own video, go to upload and upload
it from your device. Notice that you cannot apply
filter videos on Canvas. So you might need to edit your
videos and a separate apps beforehand to ensure a cohesive
see with other photos, since it's still feel empty, I'll ask some
element else like on light and then I'll describe to you for elements
that I've been using. I'll select Flip and click
on the vertical option. Then I pull it to the
bottom, resize that, and print it backwards by
selecting position and to back. Last but not least, I'll show you how to add music
to your Instagram story. Similarly to photos and videos, you can upload your
own music by salting, Uploads, then upload media. It will be an audio tab. Click on it. Song. You can set up which part of the song
you wanted to use here. Just click on it and
pull it to the right. The Instagram story
links depends on videos. Leaf. If you have a
certain life in mind, is such as 15 seconds, you will have to click on the video and edit

9. Special: Tips and Tricks for Unique Designs: Hello and welcome to the
final lesson of this course. In this lesson, I'll teach you several cool canvas tips and tricks that will help you create original and
unique designs. The first trick is the
overlapping effect. You've probably seen a designer builds on the Internet
at some point. It got this cool
visual effects as the object kind of
wrap around the text. Here's how you can
make it on Canvas. Firstly, you'll select
an image of an object. I'll pick this one on Paxil. When you remove its
background by going to the website removed dot Vg, you can either upload your
image or copy and paste it in and you'll download
it to your device. If you have kind of a pro, you can add on to
emerge on the File. Click on Effects and
then background removal. After that, you will
set up the text. Firstly, set the background
color to dark red, firm click on texts
and add a heading. You can use any word
after word plume. Then I'll set it to all caps and change the font to electorial, increased the size to frame free and change the
color to light pink. I'll arrange it so that the first letter O is in
the center of the page. Now our pet photo whose
background we've just removed. Go to Upload, then upload
the photo and click on it. We want the flower to
plan out the letter O, but it's stem is still in it. So firstly, you
click on position, then send it backward. Have too bad, you'll
duplicate it. Then you will position
it so that it's completely overlaps
the original picture. Finally, you crop the stem part by pulling the
bottom boulder up. This will reveal
the bottom layer, which is still underneath
the letter O to a of our duplicate the text and add a few more lines
to the design. Him, I select all the
lines except the middle one and reduce its
opacity to firstly, this is to ensure
that the focus for directed into the
center of the post. And there we go, It's complete. The next step is to use
frames as a shapes. Here's an example. To create this effect. I go to element. Scroll down to
frame is selected. See, I'll pick this spring when I resize and
position it like this. Now, who need a picture
of a solid color. So add a new page and
download that page. Next. Go to upload and upload the picture
we've just saved. Click on that picture and
snap it into the frame. And that's how it's done. The whole point is to take
advantage of numerous frames, Canva offered and
snap in a color, POC or texture to achieve
interesting visual effects. Plus phase you
would like to check out is still image effects. Click on the image, fence, select effects on the top bar. Scroll down and you'll see there's plenty of things can be allow you to do for transparent
background pictures. And like to add
shadow like this. Keep exploring and testing
out different effects and you'll definitely
come up with designs. Finally, I have a
little gift for you. Is this an Instagram
mockup template? Once you've finished designing, you can put in this template and see how they fit together. All of these are frames, so you can snap them in
Italy, which is the header. I didn't make this template. I found it on the
Facebook group. It is originally in
Vietnamese and all I did was translating
it into English. You can find the link to both the original version
and the English version of this in the description misses
