Show Photo Color in Canva

so i've talked about how you can use a free online tool a color hunt to get inspiration for color palettes right and it even has hex codes available so you can use the colors immediately but what if you want to use the color scheme of a specific image or company logo you found online you can literally just copy the image and paste it into a camera design and the colors will be automatically detected here under photo colors to take this a step further after you select the color you can actually go up click add a new color here find out the hex code copy it and add it to your next presentation in google slides just like this pretty cool right let's get started hi friends welcome back to the channel if

Top 15 Canva Tips for Productivity

you're new here my name is jeff and in this video i'm going to share 15 game-changing tips for canva that have helped me become more efficient with this tool i've prepared examples for creatives students and working professionals so diving right into tip number two for backgrounds that might be

Blur Design Background

clashing a little bit with the elements on top here you want to first go to the transparency slider change this to 90 and then click edit image go to see all under adjust and change it blur to something like five now there's more of a separation between the background and the text on top if you want a specific element to pop out a bit more on screen first just drag the

Add White Outline to Image

image into the design like so and after it loads uh what you can do is click edit image here go to shadows click glow and then click again to go into glow settings change the color to white uh blur to something like one or two oops change the color to white like i said transparency up to a hundred and change the size here to get a white outline that you like this combination of the blurred background and the outline uh just helps the main elements pop out a bit more speaking of cool designs some of you asked me how i made the thanos

Thanos Dust Particle Effect

disintegration effect in this youtube thumbnail it's actually very simple as you can see in my design here i just used a bunch of splatter effects you could just literally search for splatter under the elements tab and some of them are just pure white in color uh to make it seem like the icon is disappearing right and then some are colored in to make it seem like the particles are floating away instead of boring you with a walkthrough i'm just gonna link this exact design in the description below so you can make a copy and play around with it i've categorized the next few tips under efficiency since they're all designed to increase your productivity with canva first up you can press

Duplicate Element in Canva

command d or ctrl d on windows to duplicate an element or press the option or alt keys to duplicate and drag next up you can double click to start cropping and create cool effects like this move this all the way down so it's overlaps with that and now since there are two images i can highlight both and press command g and move them

Group Elements in Canva

around i can go to file show ruler and drag a guide from the left hand side to the middle here to make sure like this is a line like so or i can just go to like position press center to do the exact same thing i can press r to quickly create a rectangle like this is way too big let's get rid of the ruler by dragging off screen and then i can resize this just so just the address is highlighted change the transparency all the way down like so it looks much better and now there are multiple layers i can actually press command or control windows and press again to toggle between these two layers

Select Layers in Canva

huge thanks to aurelius jyn for sharing this tip in his canva tutorial video check out his channel for more once i'm happy with how like one layer looks i always like to press lock here so i don't move that layer by mistake uh other keyboard shortcuts you might want

Useful Keyboard Shortcuts in Canva

to remember a c for a circle uh l for line and t for text and once like everything is basically confirmed you want to actually zoom out by pressing holding down rather command or uh control on windows and just scrolling back uh so you can see your design from afar

Smart Mockups in Canva

the next few tips are for students and working professionals alike if you have a screenshot or like a product mockup you want to include in your next presentation make it look more natural by going to edit image scrolling down smart mockups see all and picking one of these that you like uh alternatively if you want a more basic look and feel you can actually just go to the elements tab and search for frames like so in your final presentation incremental small changes like this before before after after make a larger difference than you think in the eyes of your audience another

Import PDFs into Canva

hack i wish i knew much earlier in life is that you can actually drag entire pdf documents into canva and the file then becomes editable if you're a job seeker and come across a pdf resume or cover letter import and make edits if you're putting together a deck at work or for school import an external industry report and copy paste the data if you want to change your credit card statement after black friday before your partner sees it you shouldn't because lying is bad and we should never do that alright next tip

Create Business Cards in Canva

business cards interestingly enough if you're a working professional you probably don't need to design your own business cards we were all given new business cards big enough to set us apart from the competition but if you are a student i highly recommend you make one so you can stand out from your peers during the internship or job search process and because i'm the best and the sweetest i've actually already created a free template for you to use and i'll link this down below uh if you don't think this is good enough you can go to the canva homepage and type in business cards and use one of these stupid ugly templates uh have fun being unemployed i don't care whatever pro tip don't actually print these simply download as a png or jpeg image and send this as part of your follow-up message or email after a networking chat or informational interview pro tip number two if you have a website or online portfolio you'd like to showcase click the qr code option here type in your url uh generate code and include this instead throughout this video you might have noticed my color and font choices look pretty good and that's thanks to number one canvas a

Canva’s Font Pairing Guide

free guide on font pairings where they share like 30 aesthetic very pretty looking examples

Canva’s Color Wheel Tool

examples and their free color wheel tool where they walk you through uh what types of color combinations go well together i am not artistic i have never studied design so i guarantee you these are very dummy friendly although this video is not sponsored i do want to bring up three camera pro features that i currently cannot live without first up background remover so this tool works

Remove Background with Canva

for both people and normal images you can literally just click background remover this button once and just like that the background disappears second after

Download with Transparent Background

getting rid of that white background and let me just delete this yellow color i want to download this with a transparent background so i can use it in my next presentation or in my video for example and download as transparent background is also a pro feature i use all the time third the color eyedropper tool so go to

Canva’s Eyedropper Color Tool

the color palette go to add a new color and you can use this dropper tool to pick any color that's currently on your screen like so uh yes you can achieve the same thing with the first hack i talked about at the beginning of this video but this speeds things up drastically if you want to try camera pro for free for 30 days i'll include a link down below you might also want to check out my video on seven creative ways to use canva as a student or working professional see you on the next video and in the meantime have a great one
