Canva AI Features to Boss Up Your Design Process | Part 2
In our recent blog, we discovered new ways to generate graphics, images, videos, and even websites using Canva AI.
Now, let’s learn about some new ways to improve our design process to make sure that we work efficiently and at the same time, we deliver the best possible design to our clients.
And of course, once again, with the help of AI!
1. Canva Design Advice
Since we’re in the creative field, it is our passion to create.
So, I’m pretty sure you won’t rely on AI to create 100% of your designs, right, Bosses?
But if you want or need someone to critique your design before the client checks it for approval, no need to switch tabs and wait for feedback on your Facebook communities or your go-to design friend.
You don’t have to go back and forth on your Canva board because there’s now a built-in AI right inside the editor.
So, let’s say you’re done with your design.
Just find “Ask Canva” in the toolbar and then click ‘give me design advice’.
And just like that…
we get detailed instructions on how we can improve the design.
But of course, AI may not always accurately predict the full concept behind what we’re creating, so we still need to decide which suggestions actually fit our design.
2. Magic Edit
Some products don’t need another photoshoot, just some editing magic!
If you’re working with a client, especially in e-commerce, you’ll often need to create product designs in multiple colors to help customers visualize their options.
But what if your client only has one product color available, and the rest will only be produced when there’s an order?
How do you do it if you’re not yet familiar with advanced design tools?
Well, you just need Canva!
Click ‘Edit’ and under Magic Studio, click ‘Magic Edit’
Select the area or object to be edited, either by using a brush or by clicking on it.
And then, just describe what you want to happen with the selected object.
In this example, we want to have another color.
And so…the other wallet became pink!
You can use this feature not just to change colors, but also to replace one object with another or even add new elements to the image!
3. Magic Grab and Grab Text
The real secret to good design? Flexibility.
Because honestly, nothing is more challenging for a designer than not being able to make edits or adjustments.
For example..
You found the perfect photo online for your design, but there’s one problem:
it has text already printed on it.
Yes, not a textbox. It is really in the image. How do you edit it?
Grab Text!
Click ‘Edit’ and under Magic Studio, find ‘Grab Text’
Select the text on the photo and click ‘Grab’
And here we go!
The image is now customizable.
The text becomes editable.
You can do this for mock-ups, signage, posters, event invitations, social media quote posts, and more!
Another example…
You found the perfect photo online for your design, but it has an object you want to move around or simply remove from the photo. How do you do it?
Magic Grab!
Click ‘Edit’ and under Magic Studio, click ‘Magic Grab‘.
Select which object or objects you want to grab and click ‘Grab’.
And then…from this big tablet in the center, we can scale it smaller and move it to the other side, or just simply remove it!
Back then, designers could only do this using advanced design tools.
And since some freelancers who do not specialize in graphic design may not have enough time to master complex design tools, knowing these CANVA AI FEATURES is really a big deal in their design process.
A total game-changer!
