Hi Greg, I'm finding your tutorials absolutely great! I'm a newbie to Canva, designing cards, calendars, planners etc. to sell on my website. In addition to creating content from Canva, I'll also be using images of my colour pencil art. Thanks so much for presenting things in such a clear and uncluttered way. 😊 Sandi, Cape Town

Thank you for this interesting and useful video lesson. Especially I liked part of 19:30 - where you explained how to use the grid feature. Firstly I didn't understand but after some time I figured out how to use it... You gave me nice ideas 😃 P.S. For some reason not all texture I could expand on the grid... but in general, it works.

another amazing tutorial, it seems Style brush functions the same way as Word's format brush, applying the format on target the same way. I wonder if the format here implies the same(font, size and others).

Thanks for this video. The thing I don't like is after moving everything to folders, Canva still shows the same images, videos, etc. outside of the folders which looks very cluttered.

@learncanvawithgreg 6 ай бұрын

You're welcome. Yes, I think Canva can still improve their UI, but I think what's probably most important for users is is to set up and utilize a folder/organization structure that makes sense for their workflow and then if they really stick to that they will have all their design assets at their fingertips from within a Canva design project and they can end up saving a lot of time. cheers, Greg

Where did you get the font pairing pictures? Those are great!

I just organized some of my mess inside Canva!!! 6 months of craziness in there!!! Thank you.

You're welcome! For the font pairings I just googled something like "great font pairings" and then I looked into some of the result pages and found font pairings I liked which used fonts I could find in Canva. I then built on my Canva file, create a page with a simple/clean layout that utilized a headline, subheading, and a paragraph of body text. I used the name of the font I was using as my heading/subheading so it would make it a super easy visual reference. I also started the body text with the name of the font I was using for that and then added another paragraph of dummy text (just search for "lorem ipsum generator") just so visually I'd get the full picture. Once I had one set of font pairing complete, I just duplicate the page anytime I have a new set of font combinations that I enjoy so this file just makes a really easy reference anytime I'm working on a new project and I'm thinking on what fonts I might want to use. Hope this helps! cheers, Greg

I may have missed this, is there a way to view all your designs that aren't in folders? (so that you can then put them in a folder haha) Thanks!

@learncanvawithgreg 6 ай бұрын

Good question. I think this is something Canva could definitely improve, but making more filter options under the Projects tab. But right now, if you go to the Projects tab from the Canva Home screen then you'll see a list of all your Canva assets. When viewing your list of assets, anything that's in a folder will show the name of the folder. It's not super "in your face obvious", but it's there. If you're in viewing things in "grid view" then the folder name shows below the image on the bottom right. In list view, the folder names shows in the Name column, below the name of the items. This is for desktop at least and in both case, grid view and list view view, the folder name shows with gray background behind it. Hope this helps. And hopefully, they improve this in the future...it would be nice to just be able to easier filter to a view of all your items that were in your Canva root directory and not in a subfolder. cheers, Greg
