Hello everyone.
Welcome to very first lesson of learning Canva.
So before starting Canva you need to know what is Canva?
Canva is a cloud based, popular online graphics design tool that allows users to create a wide range
of visual content, including social media, graphics, posters, flyers, presentations and many more.
It have very nice interface with user friendly interface and a vast library of templates, photos,
illustrations, icons, fonts so that user can use to customize their design as well as.
Nowadays, Canva is upgraded with editing, videos, prints, website and many more, so you need to
know how you will use Canva.
There are two ways you can use Canva.
The first one is free version and the second one is paid version.
So while you will use the free version, in that case, it will not be able to use all the premium contents
or Premium elements or premium objects inside the Canva library.
But if you are using paid version, in that case, you will be able to use all the premium content.
I mean, you will be able to use the premium library so you can make some awesome design.
So if you are not prepared to use Canva with the paid version, in that case you can use it for free
and therefore either you are using free or paid.
You have to sign up first.
So let me show you how you will sign up.
So at first you need to open your browser and in the browser you have to type this URL called www.canva.com.
And once you will run this website you will have an opening interface similar like me.
You can see in my screen that I have opened Canva.com in my browser and at the top right side you will
have two options this login and sign up.
So if you are an existing user, in that case you can just click to login and you can use Canva if you
have an old account.
And if you are a new.
In that case, you have to click the sign up option.
Or you can see here the sign up for free.
So I'm going to click this sign up option.
Then a pop up will appear.
Now Canva offers you a lot of ways for sign up.
Let me tell you in more details how you will login or sign up.
So if you are a Google user, suppose you logged in on your same browser with an Gmail account.
In that case, you just have to click continue with Gmail.
So if you click continue with Gmail, another pop up will appear.
So as I was saying, another pop up will appear.
And in that case, you have to sign in with your Gmail ID instead of Gmail.
If you have if you have your Facebook account logged in, in that case, you have to click the continue
with Facebook.
In that case, you don't need to sign up process.
You can just use Canva using your login Facebook account or Google account, or if you want to use email.
In that case, you can use this continue with email.
If you don't have, continue with Google.
If you don't have the continue with Facebook option.
In that case, there are more ways to sign up in Canva.
How you will do that?
You can do that.
Continue another way.
There is an option called continue another way.
You have to click here.
Then it will offer more option like continue with Apple, continue with Google, Facebook, Microsoft,
clever email and as well as login with your mobile.
So in which option are familiar with you?
You have to use from here.
And as an example I'm going to use this continue with email.
So I'm going to click continue with email.
And what you have to do you have to you have to type your email address.
So let me type my email address.
And after typing your entire email address correctly, then you have to click continue.
Okay, then what do you have to do?
You have to fill the name field.
You can see here we got the name field.
So you need to type your name.
So let me type.
Here is my name.
And then you have to click Create account.
Then it will send you a verification code.
So you must have to log in to your email account.
And then you have to paste the code in here for verifying your email.
So let's get back to our email or which email address you put in here.
You have to login to that email address okay.
You can see here is the code I got an email from Canva and this is my code for activating or signing
up my Canva account.
So I'm I'm copying these things and now I have to paste it in my Canva signup option.
So let's get back to our Canva sign up process.
So here I am pasting my code and once you will paste here, it will automatically take you to the Canva
interface.
So our sign up process is done.
And this is the opening interface of Canva right now I logged in in Canva.
So as this is my opening interface.
So what will you be using for Canva.
So what is your usage?
I mean what is your purpose to use the Canva?
So as an example I am going to use this personal option.
Then it will ask you for upgrading your package.
So as I was saying that Canva have two type of option for free and paid.
So if you want to, if you want to use the paid version, what you will get, you will get 100 million
of premium photos, videos, elements, 3000 plus premium fonts, 600 K premium templates and many more
as well as you will be able to use one terabyte storage like along with the Grand Kids Content Planner
and many more.
So if you are ready to start the start of getting the paid version, in that case, you can click Start
My Free Trial.
Then it will ask you for the credit card and if you are not interested to use the paid version, in
that case, you have to click this, maybe later.
So as an example, I'm going to show you by free version.
And here I'm going to click this maybe later.
Here we go.
Here is our free version of Canva.
And this is the opening interface of Canva.
And now we will shift in our paid version.
Because if you are going to use a paid version, in that case, it will be able to do practice along
with me, because using the free version you will not get all the elements.
And if you were using the paid version, you will be able to use all the premium contents.
Therefore, I'm going to jump to our next lesson.
In our next lesson, what we will do.
We will use the paid version, but don't worry, you will get the free version along with me and I will
tell you how you will use the free version with the premium contents.
I will show you and how we will customize these things.
I will show you every single details from the next lesson.
So this is our opening interface and we learned how we will sign up in Canva.
And now we will be introduced with the opening interface.
