Canva is a remarkable design tool that allows you to create stunning designs
with ease even if you don't have any graphic design experience I'm going to
walk you through how to navigate canva the paid version to start designing your
own beautiful images if you're looking for a training on how to use the free
version of canva only I've created a video for that too
check out the description for the link and to jump to the specific training
section let's go over to my computer now to access canvas for work you'll need to
log into your Canva account. Once you've logged into your Canva account
you can click on the little arrow of your name in the left hand corner and
then you can click on upgrade once you have done that you can start your free
trial and here can by will request that you put in your credit card details if
you don't want to continue your trial you'll need to cancel it before your
actual 30 days is up otherwise Canva will charge you after this free period
so you can choose to use canva for work monthly or yearly after your 30 days
free trial so go ahead and enter in your credit card
tells here so when you set up your brand head there are a couple things that you
can do you can set your brand colors so you can add a palette and select a
couple of colors which are the brand colors that you will typically use this
is really handy for organizations who have very specific color schemes and you
can add the brand colors here so that when you use them you don't have to
search for the hex color it's already set up in here and you would do that by
clicking on the plus button you can put in the color code or you can select the
color from the color wheel you just go along and keep adding the colors that
you would use in your brand and have them all in one place in a central spot
you can add different palettes which is quite handy too so you could have
different palettes for different documents that you use and once again
it's about having this central point of reference to keep all of your designs
consistent you can add your logos in this section as well so I'm going to go
ahead and upload my logo here and you can also upload your own fonts so I'm
going to click on upload a new font I'm going to upload this font into Kamber
canva will ask that you confirm that you have the rights to use this font and
this is a font that I have purchased by the way once you've uploaded your font
you'll see it in the uploaded font section here and when you go back into
canva to create your designs you'll be able to see your font in the drop down
section so let's go back to all of our designs in canva and I'll show you a
couple of other things that you can do in the paid version with all of the
designs that I've created these all appear underneath the creative design
section and what I can do to make things a little bit more organized is click on
the add a new folder thing here and I'm going to call these YouTube images and
now I can what I can do is I can drag the designs that are relevant to this
particular folder in here so when I'm looking for my YouTube images I don't
to scroll through all of the designs I can click on the folder and the specific
images that I have filed or any here and this just makes it a lot easier
particularly when you're working with lots of designs to have everything
categorized properly now I'm going to click on an existing design and open it
up and this has been designed as a a4 page what I can do with it now is if I
click on the resize button I can get canva to resize this into the different
social media images or different sizes here and what canva will do is that they
will open up a canvas in these particular sizes and take this design
and put it in there you may still need to adjust the layout slightly but it
saves you a bunch of time as opposed to having to build it from scratch every
single time so I'm going to resize this into a youtube thumbnail a social media
image and a presentation and then I'm going to click abracadabra resize and
camera will open up a page or browser tab for every single design that I've
chose to resize from this is the presentation that it's resized as I
still need to move things around and probably increase the size of the fonts
a little bit but it's done a lot of the work for me this is the social media
image and that looks pretty good so that saved me quite a bit of time and this is
the YouTube thumbnail so that will need a little bit of work but they've done a
lot of the steps for you so you don't need to build it from scratch yourself
and this is use so much time this magical resize button which I am
personally in love with is one of the best features of canva you can create a
design once and then resize it really quickly so if you have a blog post you
can create that image and then resize it for facebook resize pinterest as you
know Pinterest require along the sides pin really quickly and really easily
using this resize feature now just to show you that font thing so if I
click on my text here and I go to the font drop down here I can see the font
that I uploaded in the uploaded font section so I can choose that font as I
would any other font that Canberra allows me to you also see the brand font
so these are the fonts that I've chosen as my brand fonts and I've set them in
the actual brand kit with canva for work you have access to more can the layout
then you would the free version alone and this is pretty cool particularly if
you're using canva a lot you see the same layouts quite commonly so if you
have access to more templates this gives you just a little bit more variety in
your designs the other thing that I love about canva for work is you get access
to a lot more elements so you have all of these additional categories which
provide you with more stock images and more vectors and illustrations to use
once again giving you that variety in your DAC xual designs if you go to the
uploads tab you'll see that you're able to add folders and this will help you
manage once again organizing your images into categories making it just more
organized and a lot easier to access quickly particularly if you're working
with lots of uploads and lots of design so you would click on add a new folder
you would name it and then you would drag the relevant images into that
folder so then when you click on that folder the images just specific to that
category are there when I go to download the actual design clicking on download
there are a few more options here in the paid version so when you click on the
little drop down here I can save it as an animated gif or movie and this is
quite new and I really do believe that this will develop and become extremely
amazing but canva can create this as an animation and it's extremely cool so you
can choose between these little styles that they have for you and you can
download it as an movie or you can download it as a gift
so if I go ahead and click download as a movie canva will export this into a
video format for me if I click on download as a gift it will download this
as a gif format for me another thing that you can do using canva for work
when you download your design is you can choose the PNG option and then you can
choose to set it as a transparent background and this will save the file
as a PNG file and it will be transparent as opposed to having a white background
and then you can take this actual transparent image and you can use this
and place it over colored images whether it's in your PowerPoint presentation
whether it's in another canva design but you've got the design here as a
transparent design as opposed to having it as a white background that it
defaults to in the free version the last thing I'm going to show you in this
canned for work tutorial is this team section and this is really cool so with
the team option what you can do is you can add other people to this account it
does cost you additional for every team member that you add but with these team
members you as the administrator can control their level of editing so
everyone can edit the designs but you as the administrator you can manage the
brand kit you can upload fonts but other members at the member level can't edit
the actual brand kit or the fonts you can also have template designers so
people who will go in and create the brand kits but they won't be able to
manage the team so the administrator has rights to manage the team create designs
and templates and edit the brand kit templates designers can't manage the
team but they can edit the templates and the brand kit and members can just edit
the designs so once again you're controlling access to their design
components relevant to your needs so this is another really handy feature of
kanpur for work so there you have
a step-by-step walkthrough of how to use canva for work so you can start creating
your own beautiful designs with ease if you found this video useful make sure
