Transcripts

1. Class Introduction: VA just dropped a ton of new AI tools, and some of them are next level from AI Powered Design and elements to three D graphics or Style Match, and even an AI assistant that gives you design tips. These updates will for sure speed up your workflow and level up your creativity. I'm going to break them all down, show you every single AI feature that you need to know about from the Canva October keynote. 2. AI Powered Design tab: So one thing that I love here is that I can now prompt using voice. Okay, so let's try this feature first. I'm going to click here a post to promote my kids soccer game. So you see this worked perfectly. I could very easily enter my prompt a post to promote my kids soccer game. And so once I have my prompt written right here, I can choose between a few options. So color, let's go for green. And language, let's stick to English. And I'm going to run this you see, you will be offered a few templates that will match your topic, the topic that you mentioned in your prompt. But also the colors that you mentioned right here, the lime color. So player of the match. So if I click here, it will automatically load my template to my page. Let's try something else. Linked in carousel, about five tips for content creator. Teen carousel five tip for content creators. So what I wanted to show you is when you click on the template that has multiple pages, you will still be presented with the preview of this template, so right here. So from here, I can apply all the pages. So it will load all the six pages of that design right here on my different pages of my document. So that's pretty much how it works. Something else that I noticed in this new panel in this new way of searching for templates or for creating document, is that upload button right here. To be fully transparent, I'm not completely sure what this button does. So let's try let's try to upload one of the documents I have here. And what I have is a screenshot of a previous post I have created. So what happens if I upload this in this prompt box right here? Will Canva show me similar post? Not exactly. I'm going to wait until this to be Oh, there is a ducky until this is fully uploaded. Alright, so I uploaded this, and if I run the prompt, doesn't seem to be working. So it might be that as of today, this feature is not yet enabled, but this is something to keep an eye on. My prediction is that we will be able to upload, like a reference image so that Canva will surface templates that kind of look like the style of this image, but it's not working as of today. Let's move on to the next feature. 3. AI Powered Elements tab: I am here in a blank presentation. I would like to show you the new Elements tab and how Canva decided to inject AI in that element tab as well. So first thing I'm going to do is to click on that Elements Stab right here. We see a bigger search box also with the voice command, the chat using voice, so you can now use that to search the library. So you can see the icons have been redesigned. That's pretty cool. The three D forms. It looks now more visual than ever. I like these colors as well. I think this looks very modern and well designed, so I like this improvement. Let's try it. So you have the option to search the library, just like you used to do. I have a search right here, a dog and a cat landing on the moon. Okay? I'm looking for a photo of a dog and a cat landing on the moon. So in the library, I can see these results right here. I see cute dogs and cats together. Is cute. I see a photo of the moon, but I don't see a dog and cat landing on the moon specifically, right? So what I can do is to try and generate this image with AI. So if I click this button right here, generate images, Canva is automatically going to generate my photo of a dog and a cat landing on the moon using its magic media or the equivalent of magic media, I guess, but it's now embedded right here in the Elements tab. So I don't need to go apps like I used to and find magic media right here and start describing what I need to actually have Canva generated. I can now do this right here from the Elements style. So that's pretty cool. So here are my four different images that have been generated. I can see different styles. One thing I noticed is that you have much less control over the filters and the different tweaks you can bring to these AI generated images. If you use magic media so via the apps, you'll get more control over styles and over the orientation of your image. I come back to the Elements tab right here, I can see that with photos selected, I can choose color orientation, et cetera. But these are for the result from the library. So if I change orientation right here for something square, for example, you see, these are the media from the library that will be kind of filtered. So this is not a new feature. This is something that existed before. But because this segment, I would say of magic media embedded in the Elements tab is right here underneath these filters, one could believe that okay, these are controlling the AI generated media, but they are not. Our cat and dog landing on the moon. Here we go. So yeah, this works. The cat looks a bit weird, the position of the cat right here in the helmet. I have this other one right here. We see the cat. You don't really see the dog. So if you're not happy, you can always click on the three little dots, regenerate all images. You can rate them also to help Canva, see what's good, what's not good. Let's just regenerate and see what we could get here. If we could get a better goes generally pretty fast. So here is one, kind of like cartoon style. This one looks cool. I could use that. There is another one right here, another style of cartoons. So you see you don't really have control over the style, the artistic style of our photos. Can see this one right here, and I don't think this one is very good. This is an American cat and dog. Apparently This is what I wanted to show you the first thing you can do with this Powered Elements tab is to generate images. Think of it as magic media right here in your Elements tab. Let's try something else because you can generate code and you can generate video. Let's try video. So video, let's see I want a hamster running in its wheel. Let's see if I can get that. So I have some images in the library. So these are from the library. Don't get me wrong. This is not AI generated. These are just normal video clips from the Canva library. But let's imagine I want to generate one. So you can also generate one technology is new and improving. Remember, video is only going to be available for Canva paid users. There was a little crown in there next to that features name. So that's what it means. Alright. After a few seconds, I would say 30, 40 seconds. I have this one video right here of a hamster running in its wheel. And it's not too bad. Let's put that on the page. Now, I would love to understand which model was used to generate this. Was it VO three? Was it stable diffusion, like it used to be? No completely sure. It doesn't seem to have any audio with it, so it's probably not VO three. I would say 80%. Because the hamster is indeed, turning. It seems to be like a wheel. But this thing looks more like, you know, like this little thing to get the water out of your salad. It looks more like this than an actual hamster wheel. My verdict for video, it's not too bad. I think this technology is improving. I would love to see clips generated by Vo three right here in the element style. I don't think that's what we have right now, but it's definitely much better than what I tried only a few months ago with Magic Media right here when we are trying to generate videos with magic media. It was not nearly as good as this hamster right, back to our Elements staff for the last demo, I want to show you the last feature we can try. Okay? So generate video, clicked, it's checked, it's done. Let's try to generate code. Okay? So what are we after here? We are trying to a pink functioning calculator. Okay, I'd like to have a simple calculator. Obviously, when I search for this in the media library, I will see images of pink. Let's delete the hamster. Let's bring this on. I would like to have something similar, but I actually calculate. Right. So let's see if I can code this thing. So generate code. I can see code is now selected right here. Canva is thinking. I can see code being generated right here. I can see some code templates on interactive pricing calculator. So these are the templated prompts that I will find when I click on the Canva AI button from the homepage. These are the same templates, and Canva code is just writing lines of codes, already 150 lines. So I'm wondering if this is going to give me a widget, I could simply put on my page right here. I haven't tried this feature before. This is brand new, so I'm really curious to see, Look, my codlet is complete and it does look like a pink calculator, indeed. Let's see what I can do with this. I can regenerate the code, good result, bad result. But click on it. What's happening? Okay, it's embedding this calculator right here on my page. And I guess if I double click on that, it says double click to interact. Can interact. Let's do a simple calculation five by 55 by five equals 25 seems to be working. Can I use my actual numbers on my keyboard? Yes, 22/4, equals 5.5. So this is working, guys. I have my pink calculator. I can resize it about this size, leave that on my slide, and very much like insert this little application I just coded in a few seconds right here in Canva, while designing my presentation, I could include this in my report or whatever. Calculator is maybe is a very basic example. But what I want to show you is if I go full screen with this, this should still work. You see, seven by nine equals 63, and that's correct. So anyone with access to this view link of my presentation can now use my little app that has been coded in an instant, really, from the elements. So here we go, guys, three new AI Powered tools that Canva just weaved into our workflow when we are working in the editor from the Elements tab. So we can now search the millions of assets in the Canva library, but we can also generate exactly what we have in mind. So it's just like imagination is now the only limit. Like, you're not limited anymore to what's in the library. And Canva actually successfully removed the friction of just opening an app and then generating with magic media. They now made it super simple and in one place. So I like that. I think this is a wonderful improvement, and yeah, well done. 4. 3D Content Generator: Let me show you something else that is very, very cool. Now, be prepared. This one is one of my favorite, and it's going to blow your mind. You can now create any three d elements you want right here in Canva and move this object in space to really see the full perspective from different so creating any three D elements for your design with a single prompt. Okay? So let me show you how this works. So in order to generate it, it's not going to start from the Elements tab, but you need to come to your app Stab and find magic media. So Magic Media will be this one right here under more from C click here. So this is the traditional magic media. You can generate images, graphic videos. And now you have three D. You see this last tab right here, which is still in beta. Well, this is where you can write your prompt to generate your three D objects. All right, so let's give it a try. Let me come back to the design tab. Let's assume I am a sunglasses manufacturer. Okay? I sell sunglasses. Here, let me show you. I have this pitch deck right here with all of let's apply all of these pages to my document. You see, it's about my glasses. It's my glasses catalog. I have different sunglasses all over the place. Let's say I want to replace this flat image right here for a three D pair of sunglasses. So with this here, I'll just come to my magic Media tab and start prompt so I would like a pair of sunglasses, aqua color frame, and light brown lenses. Okay, a pair of sunglasses, aqua color frame, and light brown lenses. Generate three D. It's going to take a couple of seconds. And there you go. After a few seconds, I would say 20, 30 seconds was actually accurate. I've my model right here of my sunglasses. So in order to bring this to your design is very simple, just click on it once, and it will be loaded right here on your design. You can resize it. I'm going to put it here for now. And you see this button right here. This will allow you to move the object you just generated in any position to really look at it under different perspective. What I suspect is that Canva will soon add or maybe it's already there, a style button where just like your images, you have your styles. You see, so you can choose between different styles for your steel images. Same with graphics. You have your styles. Well, I suspect that Canva will add a styles button for the three D objects as well. This is probably in the works. But for now, I don't have that button. So the best way for me to generate a three D object in a different style would be to include a keyword related to the style in my prompt have this. I'm pretty happy with the result. So what I'm trying to do now is to get rid of this. I'm going to find another image to add in my frame right here for going to the elements. I'm going to use the voice command a photo of sand. So let's say I want to position this three D render on a kind of a beach thing right here. So I'm launching my prompt. I need to go under my photo C or, I need to find something that looks like this, this will work. I'm going to put this actually outside of that frame. Let's detach this image from the frame, get rid of the frame. And yeah, I'm going to add my sand, probably add the sand all the way across. Design, position it to the back there and place my sunglasses in that sand. And now, this looks pretty cool if you ask me let's grab the sunglasses. I can keep moving them. Anyways, you can play around with this. Another cool trick when you click on your three D objects, you will see this button that says rotate three D. When you click you see a few presets for the positioning of your elements. So I love that Canva added these because if you are working with, I don't know, ecommerce and product photography or three D render for your ecommerce product pages, you will want to have consistent angles at which you photograph your products, right, or you represent your products. So you have here different views. You have your left view. You have your front view, right, top front, bottom right, bottom left, top left. So these are kind of like traditional way of presenting an object. Yeah, and I just love that Canva has that option right here. Limitation. First, this is going to be available to all users. So curios for that, it is so far supported in presentations, videos, whiteboards, social media, and website. And then something else that is important once you've shared and published your document. So let's say if I share this, as a public view link. Let's create a public view link of copy this and test it. I want to see how it looks on my published document. So here is a presentation. There you go. Once it's shared and published, you cannot keep rotating the three D objects anymore. It will appear in the exact position that you have left it in your design. So be aware of that. Be conscious of that, that the end user that is going to be watching your published design will not be able to move that object anymore. It will appear aesthetic. Few use cases you could try for this. This would be amazing for brand or product promotion. Obviously, that is the most obvious use case that comes to mind products, for catalogs, for websites, for listing on different e commerce platforms, but you could also create seasonal campaigns or, you know, like a campaign for the Black Friday, and you would have Black Friday theme three D objects that you can insert in your social media post, in your visuals. So custom three D objects will be very perfect for that. Or if you want to create consistent, for example, lessons for your classroom, you could use a set of custom three D objects that you have created and then saved on the design that you come and pick and bring to your lectures to create that consistent or playful look you're after. 5. AI Shape Generator: Oh. Let me show you something else that's very cool and new under the Elements stab. So if I head over my elements, and this time I go to my shapes and click on C O, I now see this new button right here that says generate shapes. Okay? So if you click here, you will be able to basically enter a prompt and generate a new shape, any shape that you like, really. So I have here a list of keywords that I would like to try for my shapes. So for example, the first one is to design an abstract or irregular or organic, whatever you want. Okay. So let's try organic plant, for example. So generate shape and the Canva AI will do its thing one more time and get to work and just generate four organic plants in my case because that's what I ask for. So I can see a few cool shapes. I like this one. It's very cute and bold and modern, I would say. So the cool thing about shapes is that once you have them here, you can start playing around with their colors. So I could just create a cool gradient with this, something like that. You know, you can really have fun with this. You can add an outline to your shape, and you can obviously play around with the thickness of that outline. So you could easily create stuff like this that will look super unique to your design. Nobody else will have this shape. So that's the big advantage of using custom shapes or creating custom shapes is that you will be the only one using that specific shape, giving your designs instant originality and identity, I would say. So if you are into this and really into creating your brand visual asset, you could develop a set of these elements. For example, this one, instead of using this color, I could go for another color, and develop a few of these and start using them in your brand system in your brand identity. Let's come back to the shape generator. I have other stuff. I want to try. Let's say this highlighter keyword right here. So I'm going to type highlighter. My intention here is to generate a highlighter line or highlighter stroke, something that you can find also in the library, but I would like to generate my own one. So let's just type highlighter, see if this works. So just highlighter, I got stuff like this. So I'm confusing, I guess, the AI model here because it's trying to generate the actual pen or highlighter, yeah, device. I'll come back to the prompt box and try to be more precise. So instead of just highlighter, I'll go highlighter, stroke, highlighter, stroke, Enter. So let's see if with this more precise prompt, I get a better outcome. It should be because the better the prompt, I guess, the better, you see, I start having my highlighting strokes right here. So I have two that are decent right here. So there is the first one, and here is another one. And you see it will generate the shape in the last color you've used. But of course, you can change the color again. So highlighting colors, I would go for maybe a neon yellow, something like this. Boom, I've got a nice highlighter stroke. Can use the paintbrush to convert the other one to the same color. Alright, and feel free to copy my ideas here and try them for yourself, right? Next, on our list, we are going to try to generate a pill button shape. Pill buttons could be very useful for creating website buttons or apps button. So let's see how well it can design a pill button. A few here. They're not elongated enough, in my opinion. So let's say rectangle pill button, maybe to see something a little bit more elongated. These wouldn't work. They were too round. Alright, cool. So now I have something that I can use. This one right here. Could be more elongated. I have this one as well. This one is too thick, like, too wide, but this ungated pill button can make this different color, something like this, or I could even make this no color, I guess, but with an outline, there you go. Let's try speech bubble. We all need speech bubbles in our life, in our designs. So speech bubble, and you can combine keywords. You could have an irregular speech bubble. Let's try this. So let me just grab these two right here. They're pretty cool. I'm going to put them both on my design, make them smaller. I'm going to change their color. Maybe this color is cool for this speech bubble. Maybe the stroke, not that big. Alright, very cool. Look at that. Yeah, what I was saying is, like, where did I get these keywords? Well, very simply, you know, I went to my Elements Sab. I came to graphics right here, and I started seeing all of these graphics, the magic recommendations. So you see, for example, something you like in a shape, like, for example, this irregular square. Click on the three little dots and you will see rectangle blob. If you want to see more keyword, you can look here, Illustration, graphic square. So this is exactly where I found in a nutshell, this is the brand new Shape generator. It's right here. I think it's free. It's for everyone to use. There is no credits running out for this. So yeah, just get in there element stab shapes and have fun with these. And you can also prompt with voice, which is cool. Two things that I really like about this new shape generator is that when you come back Okay. So when you come back to your elements and shape, click on Shape Generator, you should see the latest shape you have generated. So it will not be deleted or at least until you refresh your document, you will not lose your last shape. So if you want to, I don't know, just go and do your thing somewhere else like using, for example, one of these shapes, you click on this one. So you've clicked out of the generator, right? You've done something else. But then you come back, come back on Generate, and your latest generation is still here. So that's pretty cool because previously when you would click out of an app or something and come back, it would be gone. That's the first thing I really like about them. And then the second thing is that you can also use voice command to write your prompt for your shape. So if I use the microphone right here and say hand wrawn wiggly line. Okay, so if I just go hand drawn wiggly line and just hit Enter and generate that, it will understand my prompt. I've also noticed that Canva will auto correct some of the words. So if you pronounce something and then in the prompt, it doesn't make sense. It will try to guess what you tried to say, actually. So that was also a cool feature. 6. Style Match: Now, let me show you another AI powered feature that Canva just released that will help you harmonize your designs. Basically, make sure that all the visual elements on your design, namely the graphics because this works for graphics, look similar to one another and form a consistent bunch. Okay? So I have a template right here. Let's just say it's a LinkedIn post to promote our new AI colab. Alright, so title goes like this, join our AI Colab today and start building your AI Powered business with like minded creators. Let's say I want to add a graphic to this page, but I'm not quite sure which style. So let's come here to the Elements tab and start searching for rocket, for example, rocket icon. And so if I click under Graphics, remember, this will work for graphics. If I click on CO, I see all sorts of rockets. So let's just grab a few. I will resize them. So I have three D kind of rockets like this one, I have a rocket with outlines, and I have, like, simple black and white rockets like Okay, I have a bunch of rockets. Let's resize them first. The tool I want to show you actually has to do with the paintbrush right here. It's basically Canva, boosting the ability of the paintbrush and giving it AI powered superpowers. When I click on this graphic, the paint brush has a new look right here. It looks like an AI paintbrush. Everything is AI. When we click on that button, we now have two choices. You can copy the basic style. So that's the usual functioning of the pin roll. So usually the pin roll would copy the colors and whether or not the object had an outline. But now, if you copy the art style, it goes further than that. It just analyzes your graphic and says, Okay, this is a three D illustration, and so it will convert the other graphics in the same style. Let's try. I'm going to try to make these three other graphics the same style as this one. So I'm going to select everything here, and then the AI, it's going to do its thing. It's going to analyze each and every one of these rockets and hopefully turn them into something very similar to this style right here, but maintaining some of their initial features. Let's see how it works. Alright, here we go. So we see that we went from a very basic black and white to something that really resembles this one, but without losing all of the characteristics, this one has some subtle shadows right here because this one was the three D object. This one has the outline, but still works fine with this one right here. So my elements, my graphics on my design have been harmonized to kind of match the reference graphic right here that I use when I copy the show you another application of this. Et's say, I don't know, you are working with elements. Let's go for graphics, any kind of graphics. I'm going to take a few different things here. So this illustration. Okay, and let's find something else. Let's go for, this. This is weird. And let's go for a flower. Graphic. If you find a graphic with, like, these three style of illustration, it doesn't really work. It doesn't really it's not consistent. So this is exactly why Canva built this feature. So let's say I want everything to look like this one. Certainly not like this one. Well, I will take this one as the reference, use this feature right here and select the other two graphics to hopefully harmonize their style. There you go. So I think it did a good job of harmonizing like, we can now see my salt and pepper or salt and honey playing chess, just like the two characters right here. Definitely harmonized it. It made it look more cartoony and same with the flower. It made it look more cartoony and this one, the difference of this flower and the original flower is not massive, but it did make it look a little bit more like this reference image right here. So this is a fun feature to play with. I think it will help us harmonize our designs. Alright, the last thing I need to do is to select one of these rockets to include in my design. I'm going to go for this one. I like this one. So Control C and Control V, all right, paste it here. Now, if I want to make this more on brand, I can obviously change the colors to pick colors. I could use these for colors or I could go for some of the colors on this design right here. For example, the fire coming out of the rocket could be the color of her jacket right here. And there you go. And so now we have maybe we need to change that blue color a little bit out of brand here for some of that purple. Perfect. So there you go. Now I have something on brand. 7. Magic Background: Something else that's new is a brand new way to create custom backgrounds for your designs. Okay? What I have here on this page is a story design, so this could be for Instagram real or Facebook or whatever, and it has different elements. So you see the puppy right here, the orange background, and then some visual elements right so, what I want to show you that you can instantly create different backgrounds with AI by simply clicking on the background the current background of your project and then go for Magic BG. You see this button right here, Magic Background or magic BG. So when I click here, Canva will automatically launch a prompt which I have not seen, and you see it also open this app right here underneath the separator right here in my left side panel. So this is cool because now it seems like every time Canva opens a design that has different features enabled, they will be visible right here. So that's pretty cool. So there you go. It took a couple of seconds. And Canva generated four new backgrounds for me based on the design. I analyzed the design and came up with these backgrounds. To be honest, I kind of like the first background better, but I can always come back or I can generate again, or I can prompt my own right here. So you see background idea, which is an optional feature, pet care and retail services, including grooming, accessory and pet food for pet lovers. So this is what inspired kind of like the idea of this background. And I can see the different iterations of these backgrounds. So I mean, I kind of like the orange one better, so I can always go back and simply generate again to see what else Canva can generate for me. I think I like this feature, but I would love to instead of replacing my current background, I would love for Canva to create a new page and then replace my background there or give me that option. You know, like do you want to replace the background or duplicate your design and add this background on page two, for example? That will be easier because if I click the button immediately, it will change my background, and then I need to use the back arrow if I want to come back to my design, my original design. Alright, let's try something else. Let's add a new page to this design. Let's get rid of the background. And I'm going to go for a different template. I want something different. So again, I can use the AI Powered Design tab, whimsical landscape with a castle. Looking for whimsical landscape with a castle. Let's see if fine one. Okay, I have some cool stuff going on here. Let's see. Okay, I think one of the first ones right here, this one is pretty cool. Alright, so I have my post right here, and this image in the background is the background. So let's see what Canvas magic background can do if it can transform my whimsical castle right here in the background for another one generated by AI. So I'm going to click Magic Background again. It's going to take a couple of seconds. And there you go. I have four different whimsical backgrounds right here. I kind of lost my castle motivational reminder emphasizing positive personal growth and encourage Okay, I'm going to modify this background idea myself. I'm going to go for a whimsical landscape with a mystic castle. Okay, generate again. These are not too bad, but it's not the same vibe. I lost my castle, and I would love to keep the castle in my design. There you go. Now I have my castles. These look actually very cool. Like, this one is really nice. Alright, so this is Magic Background. I love this feature. I think it's very neat that you can easily create designs that are inspired but what's already on your page. And you can always rectify the shot if it's not generating exactly what you want because you have control over the precise prompt. So really cool. Loving this feature. 8. Canva AI in Comments: Probably one of my favorite improvement announced at the Canva World Tour event is the possibility to now use Canva AI as a design assistant, right? They call it Canva AI or Canva AI in the comments, and it's really Canva bringing some of the hat GPT magic right inside Canva and gave it a mission to become our design assistant, our design coach right here where we need it in show you how this works. I have my puppy design right here, my story. So in order to activate this feature, you need to click anywhere on your design, really. And you might have noticed already this ask Canva button right here basically when you select anything on your design. So let's see how it works. I'm going to select the photo of the dog right here and click the Ask Canva design. So it will automatically open a comment and tag at Canva. That's how you launch this assistant at so maybe I can ask, what do you think of this photo? Should I change it for another dog? Let's just see what Canva thinks of that. So here we go. I thought for about, I would say 30 seconds. And the outcome of this reflection is not really an answer. It's just another image of a similar looking dog. And when I hover over the picture, I see a plus button to add this photo to my design. So what I want to do is to duplicate this page one so that I can work on page one, but not mess the other page. So if I come back to page one, if I click on somewhere else, my conversation disappears because the conversation really is linked to my page one right here, I can see it again and unfold it again. Let's try this plus button. Okay, so it's not swapping the photo immediately, it's just adding the photo to my good, it's good enough. I'm going to check this photo. The puppy looks cool, but the teeth look a little bit weird, so we can actually see not completely sure, but the other one is more natural, but this one, the puppy looks more lively because we can see bigger eyes so bigger, I would say, facial expression of the puppy. Let's make sure it fits my page nicely. And I'm going to remove the background with this button right here. So the remove background button has been renamed eraser and then background remover. Now we have more eraser kind of things going on. Let's go Background remover should remove the white background, and you go. And now what I can do with the position button is to go fetch the first puppy, delete it. And now we have this one. So what do you think? Like, first or second? To be honest, I think the first image is actually nicer. So Canva did a pretty good job at, like, recommending a more friendlier puppy face. So, okay, I think I'm satisfied with this. Now, what I'm going to do is to select the entire thing here, come back to Canva AI and keep asking, what do you think of the text hire RQ ARG on this design. You change anything? I want some feedback on the text hierarchy. The text hierarchy is quite strong. The large white heading, everything for pet lovers instantly draws attention and clearly defines a message. The smaller beige tag line and details below, it feels balanced and easy to read. So grooming, accessory, pet food. It's true balanced and easy to read. The only part that feels slightly less connected is the call info at the bottom. Yes, this one. It's small enough that it might get lost. Exactly. That's what I was ing it slightly more noticeable or grouping it closer to the open weekday box could help the flow feel tighter. Yeah, I feel so, too. So let's bring it a bit closer, and let's make it simply a bit bigger. So 23.5. Let's go for 30. And let's move it up slightly more. So it actually let's see. Let's see. Now it's too close to the box now. Let's see. Let's make that design mistake on purpose that is actually touching. Or, let's go, let's go even more. Let's do something like this. So this should be picked up by the AI. If it's really thorough in the design analysis, so I'm going to do the same again, come back here and ask it. Could you check again? I made the modifications you mentioned, especially the Cal textbooks. How is it now? How is it now? Okay, so I made that mistake on purpose. Let's see if it picks it up. I hope it does because otherwise it would feel a bit weak in my opinion. That adjustment works really nicely now. The cold textbox feels much more connected to the schedule above, creating a clear natural flow for the eye. The balance between all text sizes also look more cohesive and nothing feels lost anymore. It's tidy, readable, and visually well paced. I'm a bit disappointed about this part because I mean, it should have told me, Look, this is too close to the box right here. So I'm going to give it a second chance, okay, by selecting these textboxes, maybe not that thing right here. Let's just select all of the texts and ask. Again, create caption, change style, suggest improve. Let's go suggest improvement, which is one of the preset messages, you can send Canva AI. So suggest improvement. It should be thinking. Okay, your design feels cheerful and welcoming, and the warm orange tone fits a pet shop perfectly. You could give the open weekday 9:00 A.M. To 9:00 P.M. Section, a touch more contrast, maybe lighter or darker shade behind it, so it pops a bit more over the orange. So this section right here. Yeah, because it's true that this color of font doesn't pop as much, but it's still contrasting enough. My problem is that line that is touching the actually other textbooks small tweak would make the store info easier to spot. Okay, so there's nothing being told about this textbox right here. So I guess I will just do it manually and leave it at about let's leave it a touch more. I feel like here would be a better placement for this box. So kind of a hit and miss so far. But I mean, I like the experience of having something here, giving me design tips, basically. Alright, let's try something. Let's scroll to page two right here. Okay, I'm going to select the dog and ask Canva. Canva, what type of dog is this? Let's see if it has also, general knowledge. If it's a real large language model where I can ask any question, not just design related questions. Let's see how smart that assistant is. I don't know who the dog is, but the dog in the image looks like a poodle. It has curly coat, round face, and friendly expression that are common traits of that. Maybe I can ask what is the Podle's name. Okay? Let's just be silly for a little bit and see how it reacts. I'm curious to see the abilities of this chat bot. I don't know the Poole's name. There is no information in the image that shows it. I want it to demonstrate its copywriting abilities. Okay, so make up a good name for it. I want to use that info on the design. Let's see. Like, I ask it for imagining, coming up with a name, a good name for that puddle because I want to use that information. Okay? I want to somehow include this on the copy. Here is a few cute names, ideas that fit this happy puddle and friendly pet shop. Tompkin? Okay, Tomkin is a good one. But I think it's the color of the background, biscuit or like pumpkin. Let's go for pumpkin. Alright, interesting. So what it did here, it turned the name that I selected into a textbox with the name of the dog. Okay, Pumpkin, let's ask something. Can you suggest a good copy about pumpkin or the caption of this story I will post on IG. Okay, so now I'm asking for more than just design. So let's turn that into a short fun caption for your story featuring pumpkin. Okay, I have three different captions here. The first one has emojis, the dog and pumpkin emoji, serving smiles and take wags all day. Drop a power print if you love this fluffy face. I like that. This is pretty cool. Pumpkin check in, big curls, bigger cuddles. Come say hi today and snag a treat for your best the third one pumpkins mood, happy, hungry and ready for scratches, Tigger friend who needs this smile. Alright, I think these three captions are pretty professionally written. This would work fine for indeed Instagram, Facebook, like the social media. It's a specific tone that is not my tone. So if I put down on my timeline, people will immediately notice I didn't write that, but it's fine. I mean, this is more like Canvas tone of voice. So what have we done? We have generated text. We have gotten design advice, though not the savviest so and we have been able to change a photo, so it generated a photo right here. I don't know if it's AI generated. It looks AI generated or if it's fetched from the library, but all in all, this design assistant has been pretty useful. Let's see what it can do in terms of changing the style. Let's change style and see how far we can go with this. Got an answer. Pumpkin's photo already pops beautifully against that orange. To change the style, you could lean into a warm and playful look, think soft cream, background, round shapes, and script text that feels cuddly and friendly or go for a modern boutique vibe. But gives me, keywords that define two different aesthetic would you like me to aim for playful or modern? I will say, can you generate both vibes on two different pages? I want both of them. I don't want to be limited to one of these two changes. Okay, here we go. I have one page. All right. So what happened here? Canva made an image. Okay, so it's just an image with the text included in that this is not going to be super useful because I needed my text boxes to be actually editable. All right, so my verdict about the Canva AI Assistant in the comments is if you are a complete design beginner, this could be an invaluable help because it definitely knows the design fundamentals. It can help you come up with better, brighter, livelier images for your design, and it can give you the tips that you need to align things. Here, I started with a template. But if I was starting from scratch, this assistant would have guided me and helped me really align things, choose the color I'm a little bit disappointed about the AI not catching the mistake here when I had this box so. But the thing is this, just like for any other large language model, it should become better with time, and it should become better as you use it because it understands you more and more every time you prompt it. So if Canva AI is able to learn from user behavior and from your particular user preferences and style of design, this could become a great design assistant. I'm giving this one a thumbs up. In terms of availability, this will be available to all Canva users, so free pro teams, everyone included. The only thing for now is that I don't think it can access your brand kit. I think this is just a matter of time before Canva actually activates that feature because when it does know your brand kit, it could pretty much make everything on brand. So great feature. I look forward to see where this is going. 9. Set up your Brand Kit like Magic: Feature number three is going to save you time while setting up your brankets. For this, go two more on the side panel and then access brand. On this account, we don't have any brankts created, so if it's the same case for you, it will look like this. Now, if you want to use this new feature, which will allow you to save time while setting up a branket, you will need to open this dropdown and then from here, select Create New Branche. Going to give a name to your Bankit from here, hit Create, and then from here, you'll be able to share your website or brand guidelines in PDF, and then Canva will help you set up your banket. I'm going to type here our website, this one is team rundi.com, and then simply hit this button. It says that the Banket has been updated. As you can see, we have Team Runi logo in here. We had already provided the name, so we have the Team Run the Club, which will probably be the name of our membership that we'll be launching pretty soon. Now pay attention to the menu that we have on the left because we have two little stars next to logos and colors. The other sections are empty at the moment, but we can see the logos and colors have been updated. You can also note this by taking a look at the ties below, as you can see, we have now on logos and colors, a label that says added. If I were to go to logos, you can see that we have the logo in PNG and then in colors, we have a color palette. I say a color palette because this is actually not our color. So I will need to adjust these two colors and then add the other colors from our real color palette. In this case, you can see that phones, brand voice, photos, graphics, and so on is empty, but still we save time by adding the logo and a color. I guess that if you have a page on your website that is focused only on your brand assets, you will see more elements uploaded to your brand. Now let me quickly delete this branket here and show you another example. Let me create a new branket. This one is the Ron Colab two because this time, I'm going to upload guidelines instead of the website. I have here this document. We have a brand board with our logo, our color palettes, brand voice, phones and so on. Here, I just want to notice that we didn't mention the name of the font, so that's something to pay attention to. Maybe if we put the name of the font, it will appear on fonts. I'm not sure about that, but let's take a look. I'm going to open this document, Cavet scanning for brand information. The bunket has been updated and if I take a look at the tiles below, we see that we have new colors and a brand voice. The rest of the tiles do not have a label, so let's take a look at colors and this time the corporate is actually perfect. Exactly the same that we uploaded on the PDF. Then on brand voice, we see that we have exactly the same brand voice description that we have on the PDF. This feature saved me some time, not a lot of time because I still have a lot of sections to fill, but I know that this is just the first version of this feature, so I hope that this is going to get better with time. 10. Generate On-Brand Designs: This feature will allow you to generate designs with AI using your own branchet. For this, we are going to Canva AI, click on this box, and then from here, click on the plus icon. You will see that we have now this new feature to apply a branchet. So we're going to open this dropdown and select the branchet that you want to use. Lastly, add your prompt here. I'm done with my prompt, and I'm just going to hit Submit. Ganda has generated four designs for us, and as you can see, it is using our branded font and also our branded color palette. So this is quite exciting. We will just need to make a couple of changes, I guess, maybe on the copy and the images, but the rest of the design, because it already has our branded fonts and our colors, it will be almost ready. Say that I want to use this one, so I'm going to click on this icon. And now, if you want to change anything on the text, you can do it from here, but you can also change the images and the cos. You can see that I can search for any Keyword and then have access to the image library from here. I'm going to select this photo and it has been changed automatically, and I can continue doing so. Now, if you want to download or if you want to adjust a little bit further these designs, you can click on US Canva Editor. You can further adjust here your design and then download it. 11. AI Guided Presentations: We can now create presentations and be guided in that presentation creation process by the Canva AI. Okay? So here again, we'll start with the Canva AI button right here or right here. Then you're going to click on Design for me and select Presentation. This type of assistance is going to be only for present so you have your audience casual, professional, educational. Let's go for professional style. You can choose a style. Let's go for something like organic, and the length is going to be balanced 5-15 pages. So here is my prompt. I want a Canva training for nonprofit organizations, and I want this to be a project proposal, okay? I have an idea of training fair trade organization or non profit organization in Asia, South America, and Africa to give them a Canva training. Okay, I'm going to run this see what Canva AI can do to assist me in creating this presentation. So immediately, I can see something going on on this side of the screen. This is probably the outline of my Canva presentation. So I see different sections, introduction and project overview, list the key ideas, not final wording, setting the stage for Canva training for non profits. So welcome and brief introduction to the presentation purpose. Overview of Canva as a visual communication tool, B Okay, high level project goal empower non profits. Okay, so this is good, but I would like to kind of refine a few things. So I can click here and basically rephrase some of these ideas, add bullet points. So overview of Canva as visual communication tools, the relevant to nonprofit organizations. So I'm going to change nonprofit organizations for fair trade organizations. So you can see here we have all of the details here. I'm not going to change everything, but I wanted to show you you can edit whatever is here. Let's say I'm happy with this. Let's generate my first draft. And there you go. I have a few presentations here. So let's have a look. The first one is 15 pages. Second one is ten pages. Then I have this 19 pages. Okay, I have three. If I click on any of these presentations, I can see the contents. So Canva training for nonprofits empowering fair trade organizations. Transforming Fat trade organizations outreach through effective visual communication training with Canva. Okay, introduction to Canva for non profits. So this is pretty good. Collaborative brainstorming, limited resources, potential growth, so visual design struggles. So that is the pin point of these organizations. And then we come with the training objectives and outcomes. Mastering Canva basics, creating social media graphics, designing effective flyers. Flyers might not be the best focus here, but we have a project timeline, planning, training, evaluation, impact assessment, reporting, resource required. Okay. So we have pretty much everything we need here to have a good base. So from here, I can work with colors again. I don't think I can access my brand kit colors at this stage. This is probably coming in a later stage, but right now, I don't see a way to access my brandkit. Let's try another one of these decks that were generated. Let's try the first one, the longer one. Can see here kind of like an AI reproduction of the fair trade logo right here, which is the right logo, by the way, W. It's not the WFTO logo, but it's the other Federation's logo. So that's interesting. Okay, so this one has more abstract imagery, I would say, but the content is good as well. So the importance of compelling visuals, this one is a bit more succinct, so there's less information on every slide. Really depends on how much detail you'd like to get, but you have choices here. Let's click on the third one quickly. So this is not bad. We can see some good ideas right here, some useful, I would say, slides that I can now open in Canva, obviously, and continue the work there. So I'm going to ask the Canva AI, give me a few options with real photos, not illustrations. I would like to see some real photos light, let's open this one. Ten pages. I can see people in training situations. These photos are not exactly what I was expecting. So again, I can continue. I can come back and say, I was thinking more about artisan, photos, fair trade related images. Okay, so let's see. I know it can do better than this because I have tried this exact same prompt when I was trying before shooting this part of the video. It gave me beautiful artisan photos. This deck that was generated using the same prompt basically Canva for fatrd empowering Fatrd NGOs. So here, the fat rad landscape. So you see the quality of these photos. So these are not my photos. These are photos that the AI found somewhere. I don't know if it's in the library, if it's auto generated by the AI, but these are high quality photos and super relevant for what I'm trying to do. See, this photo, for example, is amazing. Right, so my $0.02 on this new feature, guided presentation, is that this is an amazing tool to go from blank page to 80% of the job done. Okay? Because once I have this, I can just click this button right here, open this in the editor, and now I can use my brand kit. So again, very good feature. This will save a lot of time to a lot of people and I love that Canva is just continuing to build an easier, an easier platform to use to really make an impact and focus on the creative direction, right? We are still in command with all of these AI tools. It's just that the production process has been simplified to almost like its easiest form so that you can focus on the bigger ideas on the bigger picture.
