Hello everyone.
Welcome back once again.
And right now we are going to learn how we will create an image ad for Instagram using Canva.
Suppose you do have a burger shop and you offer 50% discount on your burger.
And this is what you want to create an image yet and you want to post on your Instagram account.
So this is what we are going to learn right now.
So let's start from the beginning.
So at first you need to know there is two type of Instagram post sizes available in Canva.
The first one is Instagram Square and second one is Instagram Portrait.
And these two type of post canvas have different type of sizes.
And I'm going to show you in details.
Lastly, what we did for creating any canvas, what we did, we just used this search bar.
But this time we're not going to use the search bar.
This time we are going to click this created design option okay.
So after log in to your Canva account for creating Instagram post, you just have to click this Create
Design button at the top right.
Then you will have lots of options in here.
You can see if you scroll down your mouse.
In that case you will have different type of option.
So as I was saying that Instagram post have two different size.
One is Instagram post portrait and you can see the size default size 1080 by 1000 and 350 pixel.
This is portrait post size and this is the square post size.
You can see 1080 by 2080.
So this is what we are going to use this time.
We're going to use this Instagram post square.
So I'm selecting this Instagram post square option.
And you can see a new tab is opened in our browser okay.
So this is our blank canvas.
So I want to create an image ad for offering 50% discount on burger okay.
And let's start from the beginning.
So at first I want to at first I want to change my background color of my canvas.
So you know how to change it.
You just have to select the canvas.
Then you have to go for the background color.
And instead of white I want to use the black color.
So this is my black color.
And you can see my canvas background turned into black.
Okay.
Then I want to I want to add an image from our exercise file.
I have given an exercise file along with this class, so you can download it from the resource section,
or it's available inside the class, uh, description or inside the class project.
So you can download it from here.
And I want to I want to upload that image from our computer.
And for uploading any image that you want to use in Canva, you have to use this uploads option.
Okay.
So I'm clicking upload option.
And then you will have this uploads file option.
So once you will click upload file a pop up will open.
So let me click this upload file.
And you can see here is our resource file opened.
And from the resource file I want to I want to use this wood BG image okay.
So you must have to download it from the resource file.
And you can consider these things as an exercise file as well.
So you just have to select this BG and you have to click open.
Okay, you can see it's, uh, uploading in our library.
And remember one thing.
All the file you will upload from your local computer to Canva.
You will get all the uploaded file inside this upload option.
So once you will click upload all the others images, all the other videos, audios, whatever you uploaded,
you will find here inside the upload option.
Okay, so you can see our other background is added.
So I want to add this image to our canvas.
So therefore I am clicking once here and you can see a nice image added here.
So I want to I want to make it large in size.
Therefore please make sure that if you use this for anchor point, this first, second, third and fourth,
these four anchor points will help you for increasing the size or decreasing the size.
But if you only use this top left, right and bottom anchor point, in that case image will be cropped.
So if I move.
If I move this left anchor point from left to right, then what is happening?
It's cropped okay, but we don't want to crop.
We want to we want to make this image large.
So you can see I already cropped a portion.
And that's why I want to click this undo option.
Okay.
So this is my actual image.
And I want to place here.
And I want to make this.
Image a little bit larger.
Okay, I want to I want to put the image till here.
Okay.
So as I was saying that you have offered 50% off or 50% discount in your barber shop and this ad will
be a barber related ad.
That's why we used the wood background and we will place an image of Barber in here.
So how we will place these things.
You can upload the barber from your local computer or you can search inside the elements.
So I'm going to use this elements option.
And in here I want to search Barber.
And I want to I want to use this photo option.

But with the graphics you will not have the background.
Okay.
So I'm use I'm going to use the first first smoke image.
And I want to I want to place it here.
And now I need to.
I need to send back this smoke image behind the burger.
That's why I have to use the layer option.
