In this particular video lecture, we're going to cover how to use layouts in Canva. Now, a layout is a pre made template that you can use to basically manipulate and customize to make your own. Okay? So you don't have to go and do a whole lot of research when you're using a layout. All the research has been done. All you have to do now is find out what Okay, what is your genre and say, all right, do any of these templates kind of reflect the mode and the mood of my genre and the mood of the message in my album, okay, so let's just say this one, say this is not necessarily that you'd like this, this this actual photo in here, but you might like the actual design here.

And as you can see, this is a paid one. Okay. So you if you want to use this actual photo, you have to pay for that but say if you want your own picture, okay, so say you like these, this space picture, all you got to do is drag that in here, and you're done. Okay, and you could also So click on that image. And you can manipulate that just like anything else here. You can do the contrast, you know, you could do all of those different things as well, just like I showed you in other lectures.

Okay? And you come in here and change the wording Okay, and see this is a template, you didn't have to do a whole lot, but this is something that you can easily use for an album cover. Okay. Now, I probably wouldn't do this. I mean, you don't say I probably might put a little bit more work into it. But I just want to show you the basic overall concept here.

Now again, you also can use either paid or free and the paid is more so if you want to use the images that you see here. So if you want to use this bird, do you have to pay to use that Why? Because There's $1 sign here. But if you want to change that image, so you just you just delete this image out of that. And voila, change up the wording, you can even change up the color. And voila, now this is yours isn't an album cover that you can use.

And you see, I just pretty much stayed along the same basic lines of what they've already designed. And it allows you to quickly create in Canva. So, just wanted to give you an overview of this, of how you can use layouts to create your album covers. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks for watching.
