2. Below you will see the canvas area. This is where there are categories of
templates laid out for easy access. Once you have begun creating your
own projects, you will also see your most recent work below.
3.The custom size button makes it a breeze to create a design that is the
exact specifications you are needing. Whether is a simple letter size or a big
poster, just enter the dimensions and it will create a blank document
ready for you! There are also pre-determined sizes available.

templates, pro-account if you join, and any "folders" you create. These
folders are a great way to keep your designs organized by category. If the
side bar feels overwhelming or distracting, simply hit the three lines in

THE PROJECT WORKSPACE
1.Zoom- This slider at the bottom right of the screen will help you simply
zoom in and out. This will ensure that you get a close up view of your
design as well as a full page to see your overall design. There is also a slider
right above that allows you to slide the page left to right.
2.Grid View- The small arrow in the bottom center or four square icon in the
bottom right allows you to navigate multipage designs quickly. Simply click
the icon then select the page you want to work on and it will take you
straight there! And if you are wanting to see your design full screen, the
double arrow icon to the right will do so.
3.Side Bar- This side bar is possibly the most essential tool in Canva. It is
where you add elements, text, backgrounds, and even upload images of
your own. By clicking the icon of the action you wish to perform, it will take
you to that category. In each section you are able to easily search Canva's
library! To minimize the side bar to better see your design, simply click the
small arrow on the right. Then click the side bar to open it back up again.

WORKING WITH TEXT
Adding text to a design is simple! The text button in the side bar makes it easy to add a text
box, heading, subheading, and body text. Just select a text option (or text box) and type
away! Once you have your text written out, use the tool bar at the top of the page to select
a font, size, and color. Add multiple text boxes for different font styles to create a look you
love. They also offer a variety of text designs that are pre-made!
