Start using Canva: Welcome to our first lesson, everybody who knows basic things, how to use the Canva. You can skip this lesson and go to the second one. Because here I will just show you how to log into your account and how to just find the right design size. We are on home page. Since I already have account, I just need to connect it. Here we have our Va home page. Down here, you can see my latest designs. Since we will be creating linked in carousel, you can find it very easily, basically, when you open this home page, you can see options like selections of your mainly used design size, document size, whiteboards, presentations, social media, video sites, websites. Here you can find even more options of different designs and template sizes. Since we will be creating a design for link ten, Carrousel, simply over here, Just type link ten, Carol. Here you can see options and suggested templates. Just select the first one here. Down over here, you can see linked in carousel, means it's the basic size used Here you can see a lot of different options that was created by someone from where you can basically get some inspiration. I do not recommend you to copy based it for sure, but just to get the idea and follow your own design, your own design branding colors. And usually when you select the design size option, they're giving you one empty. Just the size that you selected, the empty one. Basically, we can go to another one just to check Like this, we can start creating from the plank. We will select this one. This will be your size for Linkedin, Carcel. Just rename it as you like. We will go now to the next lesson where we will start preparing our design. 3. 2. Text, font, colors: In this lesson, we're going to prepare our text that we're going to use it in our design. What I did earlier, I just copy pasted it and created separate file of the text that I'm going to use it. You can prepare it in board format, in any other format that you will be using it. Since my text file, it's not here, open under file. You can go simply just to you left side here. Where is the project? You're looking, all your app that you have created. This one can see it's the last design. Here I have a text of carousel that I prepared. When you press on design, all the design will be transferred to the current size that you have over here and inserted basically on the first page. Over here, you have your words for your design. What we're going to do next. This one will be as our draft, but we will be working, we will add another page with the first page. It will be like our template for all our F designs on the per page. What is best to have in linked to the name of your design? Basically, we'll drag it here or you can simply just copy pasted By selecting your design. Just press go on your other page Al and copy pasted here is our first page. Where are we going? Have our main topic template name from where we are going to start creating the rest to get an inspiration. Usually what I do, I just go on here the slides, and I select designs according to the design size that you're creating. I will give you options that was created for the same size. Here you can see many options from where we can get inspiration that is mentioned. Better not to copy based if you have your branding colors and text. Sure, you need to follow this. This one is basically just for your inspiration. Here my text, I have some inspiration. What I will do simply, I will because I have my branding colors and the text on other design, basically, I will go again on the projects. I will add one more new page and I will just copy based my projects, my designs from other projects that I was creating. And I was following my brain guidelines. As you can see here, I have inserted my background colors that I do use in all of my designs. My picture with name, basically, this is what I use in each of my linked in carousel designs. Now we have our template prepared here. It's our first draft. I'm just striking it here and adjusting to the colors, colors and text and size that I am always using as my branding. So give me a second and I will be back with adjustments. Here is my branding text pont and main colors. And this looks a little bit boring. What I will do, I will just leave this part white. The part over here, the part over here, I will. Just the main words that people, that I want people to notice it, toxic. And let's say hospitality. Congratulations. You have first template in the first page of your carousel, or linked in. What I love to add just to encourage people to swipe some icons can go here and I love this quite nicely and arrows showing that he needs to survive it. On the right side color, I'm adjusting to the same that use. Here we have the slide and we can start with the second one. On the next lesson, I will explain more how to go faster with the rest of your designs. And how to create nice pictures with using simple EI and that would match your branding. 4. 3. Layouts for your desing: Welcome to the lesson. In this lesson, we am going to show you how to create amazing art for your designs and how to adjust the rest of the designs of your Carol. In the previous lessons, we prepared our text, we prepared our main phones and the colors for our upcoming pages. Basically what we need to do now, because now we're going to start with our first behavior and first topic we need to plate for this. Basically the easiest way to do it just we have the main one duplicate the page. On the other page, you will have everything the same that you duplicate. This one I think will not need it for this design. Also, we can delete it or we can reduce. We have already on our first page over here. We just need to adjust our text that we're going to use. I'm just copying pasting. Basically not on the first, but over here so far you cannot see. It will just change color just to be visible. This number I'm going to adjust and keep it is bigger size, with this one going to adjust it over here Just for the time being. Just that one deleted. Our next text that we have, the explanations. It looks quite big. We would need to a little bit work with that one. You can reduce like this. This is disturbing me a bit. You can just simply look it and it won't disturb you anymore. As I said, our text a little bit too big. We just need to make it a little bit smaller. And let's play with the different colors and different sizes. For this, we can play with the styles, text styles. Maybe a shadow that we're using, our pinkish one, with a little bit transparency would be visible. This number, actually I don't like it very much, can go on our phones just into any different one looks not bad. I would say the text over here, we will go with slightly different. This looks really good. Not so big so people can still see it. But the main topic would be name of the text, this number. I'm still not very much. Let's go with the same one. Maybe I think this number might be a little better. Yeah, this one quite good because we're trying to keep it official here. Adjusting, just layouts here is missing, just divide. Let's go with the line. When you press L on your keyboard, the line appears here, you have a line, you can adjust it, be careful, because it will get attached to the closest design that you have. There is a small trick, if you hold on your keyboard shift, we can draw it. Then with the mouse you can draw it, your line a little bit easier and it won't fly around. Here we have a line that divides a little bit. What we will do next, we will go with our pictures that we can generate in Canva using tools. 5. 4. AI pictures to your designs: In this lesson, I will show you how we we can generate amazing E. Let's go on the left side. Here you can find the P which is written apps. When you press on apps, you can find many different tools that Nava is providing you. I'm not sure it's for the free account, but all these tools are available if you pay for a premium of many different tools. I still didn't try all of them, but favorite would be jo enhancer. Imagine Dali, many differences that I use. Also here in this lesson, I will show you how to create some fun art that we will use for our designs. Let's go, for example, to Mojo. Takes a little bit of tough time. Since our colors, it's a bit here, you can select your style, just see any other ones. The sentiment, architectural, cinematic got different styles. The style that I think would match the best would be neon funk. Let's go here. Let's try something crazy like lion with a sunglasses. And you can press just Generate. We will need a little bit to wait. As you see, our designs are ready over here. They will be also uploaded to your uploads and you can find them there. It looks not bad. I think I want to generate one more time just to see some more options. Let's try one more time. It generated two more options, basically preferred this. It's quite nice. Play a bit with it, Just copy pasted or you can go on uploads. And it will be over there. You have your design. I like to, just to remove the background, we can play with it better. You will go on a photo, and here you have background remover. It takes a little bit of time. Here it is. It looks quite nice. If you want to make it easily and split into two pages, you need to adjust the cutting size properly. It will go on other page two As you can see here is the lines where your picture will be cut. To keep it the same, you need to adjust on second page totally on the same line when it was cut. Over here we have the same size we just copy pasted over here. On our second design, it will go to the same place totally that it was. As you can see it was cut it here. What I will do just to adjust it and it will be easy for you. Cut the picture to that line when it's there, when it's on the first page and move it to other side as you see the text. The text is behind this a little bit down, just to make it matching, we just need to move it slightly down. If you don't want to move too much, you can always press on the picture and go on your keyboard with arrows. It's easier. We have our design over here. Let's send it a little back to see how it will go. What we're going to do, we move them a little bit back. This one also, we will need to move it back. But as you can see, our P over here is not that visible. We can just adjust it slightly into this side. We will go with the text also more onto that side. It will be matching the numbers. Go here. Here you have it. Looks quite tidy. We can drag it ruler just to see if it's really equal in one line. We just need to slightly at number one. I think it's a little bit too big. I prefer to have the same size as our text. We will draw, these lines will increase a little bit. Our number one, we will adjust them accordingly. We slide the bigger. Our line also will move just a little bit to match the same. Here you have your final first slide design. I do think it's missing, since here we have a vibe here, I think we need to include something similar. Also, let's go with line again. This line we will adjust into arrow. We can make it slightly bigger. Maybe use it our Ish brand colors. On top of that, we can add more encouragement. Maybe here from graphics, you can see many samples. And even without that line, what we have here, maybe we can select something like this or more like that. Let's go with this one. I don't like the white one and the white color. I think I would prefer more into pink issue. Yeah, we're living if we have this, we won't be able to adjust in the next designs. Let's create something else. I will get back to you what I did here. I kept the same line that I created before. I just selected the shape from elements inside the shape, the text that we can adjust later on and more played with it, my name and the picture. It looks already too much and better, I think just to remove it. Great, we have this slide. Let's go for the second one, you, in the next lesson. 6. 5. Fast creation & adjustments: Now in this lesson, I will show you how we will go from top to the second best, and the fastest way in this case. Just as I said, just duplicate the page. This one topic, this will be the second, just simply second. And we go to our draft from this draft, just copy based test. It happens sometimes go on this one, then we will take our topics from here on our second we go again and insert into here lion. We don't need anymore because we will go with something else. Since our design here was on the left side here, we will do opposite and we will go on the right side. We move our words, our text on the side can keep on other side to it won't be that boring. We will remove our all items on right side. Our topic two, our line that we can just not to disturb us. We have our second topic. Let's think what we can use over here, empathy. Let's go again to our module AI, for example. Again, we need to select over from that. We're using non punk, just to keep Sam design here, for example. Something fun. Also just to match let's say N this one and to see what we will get this one, what we got, let's see how it looks like on our design. Again, just to move background here, we have two sweet beers. This text is still a little bit too big. Put them behind. We can see arrow. This arrow, we cannot just wording like swiping. It will encourage people to do so. This arrow, we have these two. Since I think on the next page will be different topic, we do need to transfer the page, the picture in two different page because we can keep it as we can still reduce a little bit, squeeze it here, and sight increase. Here we have our second. Let's do the next ones quiet fast. I will show you in the next lesson how our design looks like. 7. 6. More AI prompts: Welcome back to our lessons. This was the last design that I showed you. Previous lesson, I have created and adjusted the text for the other topics. Here day we can play with them a bit later when we find our generated pictures like this. And this is the last page that I have created, also using the same text that we had and should be on the last page, something that encourage your followers to connect or engage, something that will push them to do that. So in this lesson we will skip a little bit in a faster way. I will show you, just since we have all the text, I will show you how I generated the rest of the pictures and how I just adjusted them. Let's speed this up a little bit. Hey. 8. 7. Finalize & Post to LinkedIn: Here we have our final design. As you can see, I have adjusted slightly some layouts and the numbers. For example, this number, it's on the left side. The second slide will be on the right side. On, just to see the final look, we can go on the grid view. You'll see how it will look like, let's say this slide. How it will be cut it and will be scrolled. And these two also combined together. Basically, it will look like this first slide where with our draft of the wordings we don't need anymore, we can just delete it. The next step what we will do, we're going to download it and post it on linked in. We're going on share. We choose PDF, standard format, all nine pages that we need. We download our PDF. While it's downloading, we will go on linked in. I'm not going to post it, but I will show it simply just how to do it. When we start the post on your linked in home page, we need to select more there you will find an option. Add a document. You press add the document. Choose your file from the latest downloads, you can find your causal that you have from Canva supporting on linked in the document. Title is just for your information. Let's name it like this then here you would, you will insert your own words about the post. Our final post will look like. Of course, when it will be posted, it will be with the option to scroll. I will show you just my other post that I have. You will have idea how it will look like for sure. This is the similar that I did. You see it looks like video, but basically there is an arrow and your followers can scroll and to read the same that we did. Just mind it a little bit sometime before. This is our results. In the next lessons, I will show you some a tips and some tricks. The latest one that it was established in Nova quite recently. And that will help you with your designs. Stay tuned. 9. 8. AI image & magic editing: In this list, I'm going to show you how we can generate different pictures, animations with using a. For example, you need something that's not here or something that you have in mind. We start with the blank page. We will go on elements on the left side. First option, how you can find an image generator. It's just here on the left side and you can press Generate your own. This one you can see my last generations that I created. Let's go back and you can see it calls magic media. You can generate images or videos that are slightly moving. Let's try with images. You can select your styles, aspect ratio of the picture that you are going to generate that you need the styles. You can find many different options like neon, retro depending on your design. For example, we can try something that's tread model that type cats with a balloon. Let's see how it will look. A little bit of time. You can see over here we have four options that was generated by EI. If you press just on the picture, it will be transferred directly to your design. And at the same time it will be put it on your upload. For example, we have this cat with the balloon. Let's keep it there. Each of this image when you're using magic media, you can later on choose which image you can develop even further or generate video. When you press generated video, it will be transferred to the video section and it will again, take some time until we generated video, the slightly video generated from your picture. Let's insert this video here we can work further with it. Also, apart from the magic medium I generations, there is other ones which you can find. Also on the left side, slide bars you press on the apps. Here you can see the trending ones. Google I can create dynamic color palettes with the shades or enhance your pictures. In this lesson, we're talking about pictures, most popular ones. This one that I just showed you, it's magic media code, text generations that ones we'll discuss later on in this lesson. What I'm going to discuss also it's mojo. Mojo looks quite similar, like magic media. Here we can generate an vision art and pure art. Also, let's say with Infinity Art, you can select different styles from many different options. For example, let's select neon and generate a design. One more time to see how to look, as you can see here was to nice options generated. That look quite nice too with the different style photo will be generated. For example. Let's go again, let's make the suit. You can see how different they are from different totally different styling. It looks really nice. It depends what design you're creating, you can have totally different outcomes. What else with AI and photo adjustments we can do here. There is also option enhancer as I showed you before here. You just need to choose your file uploaded from your files, not from the Canva. They will generate better version of that picture. Ali, I picture generations, but here you need to describe it a little bit more. And there is no different styles that you can select best. Just to mention style that you prefer on your own. It should be more detailed description than the previous ones. Also under they, imagine here we can applaud your photo and select that it will be generated, you will get quite interesting outcomes. Let's go to other tools. Here we discussed how we can create photos, enhance them. The other ones that also implemented is on photo editing tools that will help you to edit the photo. When you press on the photo and press on the top banner, ad photo magic studio will appear over here. And these options will help you to create just the images. For example, magic expense. If you press, we can select the size that you prefer that it will help you. But I'm usually doing with free form. You have your photo way where you will drag it on the corner or on the left side down on top. That part will be expanded by I, let's say I want to make it a little bit this part, so part more visible, I will just drag down and press magic expand. I generated few options. You can choose which one looks better for you, but I think this one that it's already selected looks the best we press done. We have picture with expanded form. Again, we're going to go on at the photo for example, can use magic grab when you press it, it basically selects the main object of your picture and detach it from the background. You can move it around still. We have the same background. You can reduce it slightly, increase it as you wish. This is basically what magic the main form from the picture and leaves the picture with background together. The other thing that also you can use in the magic studios magic it. For example, over here, we select the photo that we have. Let's say we select any part that you want to add it, you mark that part that you want to edit, then press continue. Let's into change into and generate again. I will generate four options from which ones you can choose the best, always very accurate. Since they also mentioned that this technology can hear this technology new and proving, they might not seem right. Here is the options. It looks like the flowers squeezed inside this choose was just different color these flowers. For time being, it will look okay. The next one that we have, that since we don't have here a text, this option of the graph x, we will not use it at the moment. But we can also Bolsa, since we did magic grab this main photo, it shows that it's improved with the background removal. This one we don't need to do, for example, what we can do then also we can try with magic eraser. Magic eraser is just erasing the items that it's already on your design. It's not removing, deleting, and not making transparent background as it's basically like a magic brush in Photoshop, for example. I want to delete this here. You can just the size of your brush. It won't be, we're going to other parts. You select the part that you want to erase it, It takes a little bit time. While I is thinking here, you can see the background of that suit was adjusted to that part, it was deleted. You just need to go back here. You have your puma with the suit. Let's go to other lessons where I'm going to discuss more about the text and other design editing also. 10. 9. Text enhancement & translation: The other feature that I wanted to show you is text translation. For example, here prepared text, usually it will contain more texts. This one just an example for you to see. You have your invitation in English and you need to make it in many different languages at the same time, not to waste time what you can do. The first option, you can go to magic switch over here, translate. We can select for which pages it will be made, these translations. For example, we need only for page ten. We select all the pages, and we select on page ten, we select any language. Let's go, for example, with Arabic. Just an example here. You need to existing design without creating a copy. If you will select this one, the current design will be translated. If want to select this one, it will be one more design created with different language. Let's translate. It will take a little bit of time being on the new, as a new file with all the translated text only with the page that you selected. Here you have your design. The other option, let's go back to our design that we have here. You can go simply on the left side, on the side bar here. You will translate it will press Translate again. You can select the language. Here's just an example. Catalan here you can translate pages or select the tests only text on the existing designs. Page ten, we already selected. Don't need all of them. Here on the top, you can find the settings on the settings, you can reduce size to fit. It will help you with design adjustment. Duplicate the page when translating. This page will be duplicated just with a different language. It will stay on the same file, the other one mirror page to match text direction when translating. You can see here it will be between left to right and right to left. Language is automatically mirror the page to match direction. I think for all of these it's okay. We press again here, Translate. Here you can see our design that it was in English. The new one was created automatically in Catalan language. For example, if you need fast adjustment, we can again go back to the current page that's already created and select different language or example that you need. Let's say Greek, and let's generate. Again, you can see the tie, it's not matching. We need to adjust it manually. If you select from the settings, reduce font size to fit and mirror it, we can go again back to translate from the page ten and translate again into Greek just to see how it will be adjusted. Still it's not working perfectly. We need to put our work a little bit since not all languages are not all phones working with the different languages. This few ways to generate quicker text, quick design adjustments. One more thing that I wanted to show that it's also was created by AI can be used with AI in Kava text enhancement over here when we go back again on the left side, since I was using these apps already, they're here. The most favorite that I have, for example, type craft. But you can find all of them on section of apps type craft. When you open it, you can see different options. Here it will be your text, let's say generate magic magic. You can select your font over here, let's select something slightly different that would match our design. Here you can select the style color. Let's go with the y. As you can select fields or outline here, it will be shown how it will look like immediately. Let's go with non at the moment. And I would prefer something for both that would match our design. This looks not bad, you just need to scroll it down and add element to design. But before adding here what you can see, all these dots, you can move around and create any shape from your text. You can create wave or just just like that, make it smaller like here shape that you can imagine. Then this just element to design and it will be added directly to your design as image. You can add it again back from the same type craft, the other text enhancement form that I wanted to show you. We need to go back again on the apps net, popular ones or power. You will see the option that it's called magic morph. You press on it here, you can turn your text design into something totally different. Let's say we can select, in this case, our text that was used here. First one you need to select the text. The second one you need to describe the look or just drive from samples over here down like balloons, pumpkins, wood flowers, party balloons or jewels. We have our text and I want to make it a little bit creepy maybe. Just see how it will look like. You can see some samples of it. Here said, this technology is new and improving. It doesn't look anything that I have asked to create. It's blue color, not even red. Let's try simply letter just one word and let's see how it will look like. Sometimes it's happening like this that certain words that doesn't meet policies, we need to select something different. Again, you can see some options that was generated. This technology, this is still improving, doesn't anything that I was asking. Let's try examples from what we have here. Let's see what it will give us. Here we have some more different options. Actually, text looks slightly better from what I was getting previous generation. Not 100% de, but still something. And this one looks like balloons. If we go back, let's one more option. We tried one more option. That it was given by canavan jewels. And I think it looks not that bad, but it's a bit too glittering for our theme, not really visible text itself. It's not very cohesive. This, I think, still needs to improve, but by the time I think it will get better. 11. 10. Ai video editing: In this video, I'm going to show you how we will again edit basic videos for your designs, your social media, and so on. This is our video that we generated before from AI. It's just a short four second video, what we can do with it. You press on the video, of course, you can hear adjust the timing. Then you can clip it. Since it's without volume, it doesn't change anything. Where is the option of edit video? You can remove the background that it's on all over your video, but it works not for longer than 1 minute video, it takes a little bit of time. Also here you have your video without background. And just to see, for example why I did that, I want to have, but I do prefer background, that it's slightly different from videos over here we can select slightly different one. For example, different background that will be matching our cat balloon, for example. Let's just select this one. Not very moving. Let's go just on a search kind of videos that looking nice with our cat for example. This looks not bad. And just set it as video background. We have clouds also, the size itself not matching much the size itself. It's not matching much of our sign. Let's check what we have of vertical. We have some more options that are vertical. This looks nice, and let's replace the background. This is our cat, this is our other background that we have. This for example, we would like to generate a little bit, make it a little bit smaller, let's make it speed a little bit faster and play on repeat. So it means that while our background will be playing, it will be moving all the time. Let's see how it will look like. This is our cat moving and background moving. Short video, basically like this. We can play with the videos and create fun designs. 12. Thank You!: So thank you so much for joining my course. And I hope you enjoyed it. And you got some useful information.
