    Wow. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Just finished your tutorial, it took me somewhere between three and four hours to go through it because I stopped it all the time to try out almost everything you had just presented, in order to remember things better, and while doing so actually discovered a few more things. I also appreciated some of your design ideas which further opened my eyes to the endless possibilities Canva offers. I had already watched a number of other tutorials, some also very well presented, but most are way too short: they just awaken your curiosity but then leave you hanging there, struggling. After having worked through your tutorial, I feel that I hit the ground running, and am now off to your other tutorials to learn more. Having come down with Covid - fortunately not too bad - I still have a few more days of quarantene left that I will use for studying and practising more! 😁

Although the tempo might be similar and you may still need to drop the playback speed, the cursor is highlighted so it should be easier to follow 😊

    Hi,
    I'm not creative and fell into this by accident.
    Canva was recommended to use. I watched the Canva tutorials and came away more confused.
    I like your step by step guide. As a real novice to all things graphic, I needed a foundational element to explain more about the page itself.
    I wanted to make an order of service and need more information on layout eg A5 booklet. I wasn't sure if I needed to add columns, etc.
    God bless you for your time and effort. Very useful.

      Since I talk about content marketing and content creation specifically on this channel, I don’t think it would be as beneficial for the general audience to include a Photoshop tutorial. It’s simply because that’s a more complicated tool and a regular entrepreneur or a content creator won’t have the time to learn the skills for the purpose of designing for social media, blogs or business. There are quite a few tutorials on Adobe Photoshop on UA-cam already so hopefully you can learn from these! ✨

    Thanks for a great tutorial, even though it was quite long I was still able to get through it without a problem (I have stopped watching some other tutorials after only a few minutes!). You're easy to listen to and don't fluff around with unnecessary long winded explanations, what you do say is easy to understand and relevant. Thanks again I learnt heaps! I'm looking forward to a tutorial on making a font from your handwriting too, I've read down through a few comments here and see that it's on your list ;-) I just have a quick question if you don't mind answering? How does Canva distinguish between a Picture and a Background? I want to upload my own background to use - would it just be a matter of using it as a "photo" and stretching out to the size of the project each time or is there a way to make it a "background" that automatically fills the whole project like the Canva backgrounds do?

    • @NataliaKalinska
      @NataliaKalinska  3 роки тому +1

      So happy you enjoyed it, Lisa! 🙏 You can easily add a photo as a background in Canva. You'll notice that once you stretch it out, it will automatically snap in place and once you deselect it and then select it again, it will no longer show its full dimensions, only the shape of the Canvas. To correct the position, you need to double click on the photo and you can play around with it again. If you want multiple pages with the same background, you can simply hit the duplicate button which is located slightly above your design to the right. Hope this helps!
