Okay, so this is gonna be a slightly longer video, I decided that I did want to take you through kind of the elements and kind of let you know what was going on with everything in here. And basically what you could use walking you through the different types of elements and what each one does. So the free photos are basically as it sounds are going to be basically free backgrounds that you can use. A lot of these are going to be, in a sense, infinite scrolls. So you're going to come right about here and you see it starts or loading more, scroll down. So I mean, there's literally thousands and thousands of these that you can actually use.

So those are the free photos. The grids, on the other hand, are a little different. They break things up like this, and they allow you to basically just make or insert an image right here. And all you're going to simply do is we'll come back over to the free photos And say we want one to be this. So again, we can just click on it, drag it and drop it. I'm going to click on the other one, we'll make this one about rocks or coffee beans, you know, goes hand in hand.

It's like work and coffee. Can you live without the other right working at your keyboard all day. So that's kind of a cool background that you can end up having. Those are what the grids do. The frames on the other hand are a little different. They're more in the sensibility of again, being just like that, where it's not going to make everything perfectly lined up.

Let me go ahead and choose a free photo, kind of show you what we're looking at here. So there's one part of the grid is the other part of the grid. grids not going to fill out. I'm sorry, a frame is not going to fill out like a grid normally would. So it's only it's going to be something that you'll need to resize manually. not always the best element to usually have.

But it has its uses inside of usually blog posts and different things like that. shapes are just like it sounds. I'm going to go ahead and clear this out a little bit. delete these frames for you. And all you got to do is simply click on the frame, press Delete, and you're good. And it takes a little bit for frames to get removed.

Only Reason being is it needs to save as you'll see right here. unsaved changes, it'll save once it saves, it'll let you do the next thing. The reason it does that is it just has to remember what you need to undo or what you need to redo Alright, so from the shapes, just like you can assume, have something right inside of here. And you can use that to basically any device you'd like. I'm going to go ahead. And I believe the latest thing that they did was allowed photos to be uploaded into now.

They were talking about that. I was hoping they would have it in time. But they're hoping to be able to take these circles, the squares and everything and allow you to upload images inside of them just kind of like the frames. Not everything will do that. That's kind of the unfortunate thing. It used to be just the grids and frames, but they're looking to add it to the shapes as well.

Everything else is kind of a standalone by itself. So we'll go ahead and add in a little dotted orange line, you can use these as needed. You can even copy and paste them if you'd like. So it's just like I'm going to go ahead and delete these. So those are all the lines, the illustrations are pretty cool, you got to make sure that you're choosing the right ones because again, it is basically clipart. So if you're going to be using it, the nice thing is usually use tact only use one of them.

And the rest of it will be based on the background and the text that's there. So, but again, this is pretty cool clip art, a large selection that you can choose from. Once you scroll down to the bottom, all of these basically infinite scroll on and on and on and on and on. And they do that so that they don't have to load their entire library of, you know, 50,000 different images every single time you open up something. Again, these are more of the icons. I love doing these, especially for creating courses or something like that.

This is where you basically end up doing if you even want to reach out to people on YouTube. To me and say, I'll create your course graphics, you know, I'll improve every one of them. And you just make simple little things like this, yet a circle in the background, maybe the person's image, because that really increases the sales and Udemy or anyone that sells a course, their course image should have their face in it. And then again, just some simple little icon, Hey, I'll show you how to, you know, this actually looks just like the Google Maps icon. So you can say, Hey, I'll teach you SEO for Google Maps or, you know, if that's what someone's courses, you could add that little circle their image over here on one of the sides, left or right, and you're all set to go. charts are just like I showed you a little bit earlier.

You can edit these, it takes a little bit to edit them. If you do end up editing them. And you're gonna have to literally click on that little button right there that says edit and each of these things is going to be opening up a different little window, how far you want these to go up. Because if you edit from here, this is just changing the entire size of your actual graphic. So again, you can change the textual colors, the styles of it, everything, but that's going to be done in a separate window, and it's slowing up the computer a little bit. It does take a bit because again, it's a graphic chart that's being edited inside of an editor.

So it's kind of, you know, convoluted and a little bit of a sense but over here, you have like your camp Canva designs where I love candle that then you're probably going to end up skipping that most of the time. If you have anything regarding nature, people. I'll just click through all of these so you can kind of get an idea of what's available. by people it's not going to have really faces because faces need to be licensed out usually. So it's going to be someone looking away from the camera, it's kind of going to give that majestic feel. Sometimes you'll have something like this where they are looking at the camera, but the head is chopped off.

So just keep that in mind. If you are looking for someone to have an actual face inside, you need to go find those images inside of Google. Do make sure that nothing has copyrights behind it, and that you obtain permissions where you need to obtain permissions. Foods pretty cool again, for any food blogs, just go through here. This is all of the sexy you know, little ideas that you want, like a 21 reasons why you shouldn't eat strawberries this year. Why strawberries are bad.

And then you give us a nice sexy photo like this. People love food people. They call it basically food porn. I believe that's absolutely true. People fall in love with just looking at food and I you know idealizing Oh, what's that tastes Like, Oh, this looks good. That looks good.

That's a sweet. Whoo there's an apple pie. You know, I'm even getting hungry looking at it to be honest. So if you're a food blog or anything like that, there's all of your food, ideas and your pitch pictures that you can use. landscapes are semi close with nature, nature is more of forests. It's not going to be a panoramic kind of scenery, scenery view.

So landscapes are a little different from nature. Nature may have trees, bushes and flowers, things like that. Vintage is kind of that old field that you get when you put something through an Instagram filter. This is what comes out. So vintage is also going to be dealing with things like old types of buses, trains, automobiles, you know, rotary phones, things like that. Business is going to be more or less geared towards just kind of those generic looking skyscraper you know, car on the go a bridge A landscape, a cityscape, maybe even a business just like this, as you can see right here.

So, and this is obviously just a geo locating me because I'm in Atlanta. So that's why they suggested that once you mean, it's kind of the cool thing about a lot of these images. When you start using a lot of them, they suggest other ones that are similar to your style and likes. Here we got fitness fitness is again, no one's going to be looking at the camera because you have to license off faces, but they can obtain it for free and license it out to anybody. It's basically call it master license rights. And as long as no one's looking at the photo, you're basically going to find a photo inside of here like that.

And it has to do with kayaking, sport, boating, basketball, baseball, football, all types of stuff. Artistic is more or less having to do with those kind of Instagram. Any photos or Pinterest photos that you normally find online, that's going to be this. So I think I may have pulled this up earlier in one of my demos where I was showing the fireworks. This is exactly that type of thing. The minimal design is more or less, they always have a ton of different ones because the minimalist designs are easy.

It's just a picture of one little thing. There's not much focal point as you can see here. Not much focal point. Not much focal point. So all of these ideas are again, more of a minimalist design, where someone's just trying to get one image and the main focus is the title that people will read. So if that's what your type blog is, a minimal design is good.

Seasonal is just as it sounds, all the different types of holidays you're going to find in there. Now, I don't know if they have every holiday in the world but they have one but the major holidays in the sense of you know, they'll have a Kwanzaa Christmas they'll have you know, like your menorah Easter St. Patrick's Day, all those types of things. So lifestyle is basically like the workout. But instead of the workout, it's more of the, when you think of almost a hipster, sort of ideal of a photo. It's like, Hey, I'm backpacking, and I'm camping and I'm out here I'm doing this I'm doing that I'm so that type of the lifestyle photos, the inspirational I love. These are the types where you really can do your quotes.

And it just looks beautiful with it. You know, for example, you could quote maybe some Robert Frost here or you know, other people who it's like, you know, the universe is the one thing that's so big, it makes you feel insignificant, and yet one with everything, you know that that's one inspirational quote, you could add to that. So there's a lot to choose from inside of here. Travel is going to be places around the world, different hotspots, not everything can be photographed. For example, you can't photograph the Eiffel Tower and license that out. Reason being, it's actually copyrighted.

So, you're not going to find like every world destination there. But you're going to find a lot of kind of what you would I would consider Instagram Pinterest type photos where people share and go, I'm here, enjoy life and then they have a little tag with it. You could even just kind of sell people on Instagram, on just these photos like, you know, hey, here's three photos that would go well with, you know, the idea of backpacking through Europe. fashion, basically, anything you can think of in terms of shoes, clothing, etc. It's going to be showing that off. Real Estate just as it sounds is going to be mostly pictures of homes, some clipart but it's not really going to be too much.

A new one that they just added recently was wedding as well. That's not really one that's going to sell nearly as much as the ones up here. Like your icons, nature, landscapes, vintage and business. Those are probably the ones that will sell the most If you have someone that's in the niche of fitness, then obviously fitness and lifestyle, and travel are going to be big ones for them fashion for some people, inspiration for a lot of businesses, lifestyle marketers, so you can use all of these things kind of just to automatically go, you know what style. You could even ask people when they first you know, request your services, what style do you use? Are you more of a nature landscape inspirational, you know, give me your website, tell me a little bit one sentence about what you do and what type of you know, style you enjoy.

Or maybe give me a URL of a social media page that you enjoy and you would like to, you know, replicate the same style. So all of that helps by going through the elements and using that. It's a big lead towards just using the search bar and going, Yeah, I want to credit card. Instead, you can get a business image, and then put that on part of it. And then a credit card. Maybe click apart or something like this, and then put your text wherever you need to from there.

So that's the elements. It makes it really easy and it kind of puts topic by topic, everything that you want and is found inside of Canva. Instead of like I said, going through this search and just going through for, I mean you can be stuck here for 1015 minutes just trying to find the right credit card. When really you just go into the right group and you're good from there.
