2. Match Colors Within Your Designs - Creating color harmony is one of the most effective ways to make your designs stand out.

3. Use Grids for your Images - Grids are a unique Canva tool which help you layout & edit your images to create professional effects.

4. Add Transparent Icons - Learning how to create backgrounds in Canva is where your creative juices really start to flow.

5. Illustrate Information with Shape and Icons - Shapes & icons are great tools to use when creating interesting & informative social media posts, or if you want to wow your boss during a company presentation.

6. Fix Color Issues in Your Images - One way to do this is to increase or decrease the saturation of an image. Saturation refers to the intensity of color in an image.

7. Crop Images to Maximize Copy Space
8. Choose Consistent Elements to Enhance Your Branding - Consistency is one of the important skills brands must master when using colors, fonts, logos & images.
