Using Canva- Blog #4

 

Created on Canva

Welcome back!

This blog will be the beginning of a three part blog series on how my experience was on Canva and what I learned. 

Before, what I would hear about Canva is how fun and easy it was, but because I was never interested in designing or creating anything, I never really ventured as far as exploring it myself. However, this Media Studies course has made it a necessity for me to check it out myself, with the help of my teacher, who encourages me to explore the site further on my own. 

We have had already five lessons on what is available to me on Canva. I first learned the basics such as the different designs I can choose from and what the element tabs contain. In my first few lessons, I learned how to insert a line, insert graphics such as pictures and videos, use frames, create and upload recordings and personal pictures and so much more. Once I starting being introduced to what I had access to, I started realizing its potential. 

Below are tasks completed on Canva, this is lesson five and I decided to showcase this one first because I found it very interesting and easy on the eyes:

Removing the background of an image:

Changing the filter of an image:

As you can see, Canva gives me the ability to manipulate and change images to my own liking. This lesson showed me how easy it was to insert photos, change the filter, delete the background, add effects such as shadows, etc. This platform has changed my perspective on creating and designing and has encouraged me to use it outside of school. I will continue learning new skills on Canva and I will report them back to you guys, ASAP. 

Have a great day!
