MY SECRET to creating BESTSELLER digital products 🔥 (My TOP 5 CANVA HACKS)

About this video

Hayes shares her top five Canva techniques for creating bestseller-style digital products, noting some work on the free plan and some are Pro-only. First, shadows: add shadow or lift effects to text and photos via Effects, adjusting offset, direction, blur, transparency, size, angle, distance, color, and intensity to make elements pop off the page and look like tangible items in mockups. Second, the background remover (Pro only), which removes a photo’s background while keeping the foreground subject so it can be layered over a new background color, optionally with a drop shadow. Third, layering plus transparency: place a semi-transparent shape over a background photo for text to sit on, use the eyedropper tool to match text color to a color in the photo, or overlay a transparent colored square to tint the whole background. Fourth, frames: drag a photo into circle, scallop, rectangle, squiggle, letter, or device mock-up frames so it automatically takes that shape. Fifth, styles: apply Canva’s suggested color palette and font set groupings, or, with a Pro Brand Kit, click through your own brand colors and fonts to instantly re-skin an existing design. She also offers a free list of over a hundred digital product ideas and a digital products starter guide.

Key takeaways

• Shadow and lift effects make text and photos pop and make mockups look like physical, tangible items
• Background remover is Pro-only and isolates a subject so it can be layered over a new background
• Semi-transparent shapes layered over photos create readable text areas and cohesive color tints
• Frames automatically crop photos into shapes, letters, and device mock-ups
• Styles and a Brand Kit let you re-skin a design with matched color palettes and font sets in one click
