Alright. Uh, this video, we're gonna look at these things. Graphics, graphic is kind of universal term  for lots of things in Canva. We're gonna look at them, we're gonna look at how  to change them, change the color of them. I'll show you what a collection is  and how handy that could be. Alright my friend, let's jump into graphics in Canva.

Alright. Graphics is kind of like an overall term used  for lots of different things. So in elements and there's graphics. Let's go to see all. And it kind of has lots in here. Anything that's not a shape  or a line that is something else is a graphic.

Okay? So somehow a gradient is a graphic stickers, okay? When you're doing animated posts,  there's all sorts of stuff. So let's have a look. I've got magic recommendations from the chicken  'cause I don't know how we ended up  with a chicken on the last, uh, one of the last videos. But there you go.

What we're gonna do  is be a bit more purposeful. So I want you to type in your animal, okay  that you've got from your business. And I've got Fox. There are some filter options. I'm gonna say I want static ones not animated. Okay?

And you can pick some colors. I'm gonna close my filter down by just clicking on it. Now, when you are looking for graphics,  all you do is click on one to add it, right? Big old graphic appears  or you can click hold and drag it out. You need to drag it out to the middle, not onto the sides. 'cause it doesn't like that.

Remember they just delete. And the other thing that is useful for graphics is  that there's two things, magic recommendations. Canva uses the word magic when they are saying things like  artificial intelligence, machine learning. So it's going, Hey, you've clicked on this. Look at, we think might be also useful. I don't need a wolf as well,  but sometimes it can be handy to find other things.

Especially when you're doing things like,  all right, let's do social media. So let's, do you want a Instagram uh, logo? Okay. And you click on this one  and oh, let's just click it and add it. It'll say, Hey, do you want these other ones? You're like, oh actually that one's cooler.

I like the square one. So it's helpful sometimes. Not helpful other times. Let's go back to Fox  'cause some other things that are quite helpful for it is  that what you are hoping for is, let's say instead of a fox,  I want a each bubble. Okay? And the cool thing about some of these options  that appear, I'm gonna try and pick a free one.

Let's go over a paid one 'cause  I know it's probably gonna work. Um, the pro one here, this one's quite interesting  because what it's doing is it's giving me a shape. Awesome. I can kind of scale it. I can go into these options here. I've got not a lot of options, okay?

But down here, under the basics  or up the top there you can see the colors. This is really handy 'cause my fox,  let's grab the fox out of there as well. Fox, which one I'm gonna grab? Which one do I like? Ah, look how happy that dude is. Okay, so the fox here,  I can't change the colors, but look at this.

If I click on the uh, speech bubble look, I can go through  and say, all right, I wanna pick my brain colors. In this case I want to pick them from my eye job tool from,  I'm gonna use that color  actually now I'm gonna use my purple. And then instead of the green, I'm gonna click on the green. And I'm gonna say not the green. I want you to pick the,  I think it's that background color there. Okay?

So you can get them kind of in line with your brand  and working with other things on the document. So they don't all have that. Just some of the more professional ones. It depends on how they're built, okay? Some of them will, some of them won't. So you just keep an eye on them.

Some of them have lots of different colors. You can change some of 'em. I only have one. Okay? And I'm gonna go add some text to that in a second. Other things I wanna show you  before I start adding text is collections.

So what is also handy is um, oh actually before collections. Let's say I want something else here,  I want some other kind of thing. I can right click this and I can say go down to info. Okay? And I can say see more like this  and it will show other things that are quite similarly. Like oh that's kind of it.

But oh I want the one that is um, you know,  a bit more square on the outside  and you can see, oh it's got three colors to change. Excellent. So that's helpful. Again, it's kind of given this magic recommendations. And you can do it from here by going  to the info one like we just did. Okay?

And going to see more like this  or you can do it over here. So I can go to my recently use this one here. You show me. Uh, more like this. And that's that AI trying to have a look at other uh,  images within their library to find something similar. The other cool thing which is kind of the same  but different, okay, instead of letting AI do it, some  of the actual um, images  or graphics are part of what's called a collection.

And all 'EM collection really means is like the designer  who made this graphic okay, did a bunch of different things. So let's have a look. Let's go this one here, not all  of 'em have it, but this one here is  part of a collection, which is awesome. Okay? So you can see this is part of a set. So they're all very similar.

So I can go through and say this one has very similar  styling to this one and I can use it for different parts. Okay? But you can see it's kind of the same sort of thing. Let's have a look at one that's maybe a bit clearer. So let's have a look at this. Fox  does it part of a collection.

It's not boo. So I'm gonna go to Fox and just keep clicking on stuff  until I find one that's part of a collection. Fox Graphics seal. Let's go. Are you part of a collection? Nope, it's not all of 'em have collections,  but when they do, what you'll find  is, look, they're all quite similar.

So I needed a safari group of animals. I'm not trying to like match all sorts of different lines  and styles and oh look at this. I'm not sure why. I'm excited I can change the color of him. Okay. Uh, that excites me.

Oh, that's just his eyes. Ah, I met his eyes red by accident. Okay, but there you go. Graphics, some of them are editable. Collections are really handy  'cause you can find groups of stuff. Especially when you're looking for things like social media.

You know, you need the Twitter logo to look like the,  let's go for social media, let's go this one here,  let's go u, let's go for alt. It's part of a collection. You can see, ah,  look they're all the same sort of things  and hopefully when I use them I can change  all the colors to the brand. Colors great for icons. Maybe you're doing a website  or an app kinda layout in Canva. Collections are good.

Alright, one last thing before you go. So I'm gonna look at graphics. If you scroll the way  to the bottom, there's all these collections kind of,  these ones are being kind of uh, curated let's say. And I just, sometimes it's just really nice  to find something that is oh that is  so kind of what we're doing right? And now I can start, I can change the colors. Exciting, okay?

But I can start using these as kind  of like super graphics or abstract kind of  backgroundy type things, you know,  that aren't really essential to the design. But just really kind of elevate  what I'm trying to do in the vibe. I'm going for holding my command key down and  Using the square brackets to go backwards. Okay? I find some of these things, I dunno,  I go from like very literal text logo image to like some  of these things that just kind of support the  design that are quite nice. And often I find them in these kind of uh, collections  that somebody else has gone through and kind of curated.

These are very cool. Alright, so graphics are exciting,  especially when you've got adjustable colors. Turns out I don't know that about myself. Here you go. Couple of last little shortcuts for navigating  and kind of like sprinkling them  in in the course as we go around. So I've got this and let's say I want  to kind of just bump it across a bit.

I can just use my arrow key. Often it can be uh, hard to kind  of like it's tries to snap the stuff you like. Stop, stop, stop napping, okay? You kind of get it to where you want,  get it the size you kind of want it. And then you can use the arrow keys. So select it, use your arrow keys on  your keyboard and just move it around.

You can hold shift to move it in big chunks. Okay? So shift in arrow keys. You can kind of hear me smashing away at the keyboard here. Okay? Um, and then just without the shift key,  just it moves it just a little bit with fki a lot.

Okay? So I use that quite a lot when I'm  trying to just line things up. You're like, well I want it to kind of be there  but maybe just a little bit behind,  a little bit there in my command or control. Backspace. Let's get 'em behind everything. Ooh, we're fancy.

We're gonna impress anybody that's walking behind us,  whether our sweet shortcuts. It's totally have the reason I learned these things' so  that I can impress people with my sweet shortcuts. Or do I like that or I kind of like a but I wanna read it. Oh anyway, alright. The last thing I'm gonna do is you can go now I'm just gonna  add text to this and I guess I want to show you it just  because I wanna mention that some graphics you kind of text,  I double clicked it and it just opened the crop. It's not what I want.

So I want text inside of this. It was easy to add it to a shape,  but a graphic, like a frame, you need  to add a separate text box. So they said the type key or the T key  and let's type in free popcorn. I'm going to move it, I'm gonna click out of it,  click back on it and I'm just gonna click and drag it. Sometimes that thing appears the move  key and sometimes it doesn't. That's I guess what I'm gonna show you is that all graphics,  you have to put a text box on the top of it  and go through and pick a font.

Okay? And I'm going to go back to my handwriting fonts. I'm gonna find something that is legible, not legible. I'm using uppercase. Let's go to, let's go  to title case, enter. Then I'm gonna spend forever going through picking a font  and he's coming soon 'cause we've already used it.

And then I'm gonna go through  and say you size-wise, down a little bit. I'm going to shift click them both. So I got them both selected. And I'm gonna group them using the shortcut,  which is Command G. Control G on a pc. Oh, thank you.

Okay. Uh, there we go. Now it's a little unit I can move around. Alright, that is it. That is graphics in Canva. I'll see you in the next video.
