0:47
and I'll show you how I create like these aesthetically pleasing Instagram post just in minutes using Kenva
0:53
Let's get into the process. Once you get to canva.com, you can either go to the custom size here and you can add your custom size, your width and height, and you can select if you want to go for pixels, inches, see them like in height and width
1:09
So you will select this size here, or what you can do is you can actually make it easier for yourself and you can just search for Instagram post here
1:18
Now, there are different types of Instagram content, right? we have Instagram post we have Instagram stories now we have Instagram Reels so I'll actually show you all of this
1:29
Let's say first I want to create a square post for Instagram which is going to be 180 by 180
1:35
So we can select this one and it will directly take me to some of the templates available on Kenva
1:40
We have a lot of different templates available that are in different niches in different categories
1:47
different layouts, different styles, color schemes, everything. So we have, you can see more than 400 templates
1:57
400 K templates here, which is amazing. So now you can see, I can either go with the template here
2:04
or I can create a post of my own Today I actually creating something like a you know chill post So what I going to do is it going to be like a static post with like nude scheme
2:18
So for that, I can either go with a template or start from the scratch. So if you want to start from the scratch, you just click on create blank
2:24
So this is a square post. And at this side of the screen on Canva, we get our designs, elements, template styles, upload, text, draw and more
2:34
So the first thing you're going to do is you're going to go. go to the upload section and this is where you'll upload your images and your videos as well if you
2:41
are editing, you know, a reel or a story. So this is where you'll upload your post. You can see I
2:48
already have uploaded some of the images. And yes, this is the image that I want to post. So
2:53
what I will do is I'll go with this one and you can see my post will be at it. Now I can add this
3:00
like simple post on Instagram. But if you are like me and you have like an aesthetic page, then we
3:06
need to do some of the editing for the post or if you want to create an ad or something like that
3:12
so you will have to do the editing here. Once you have added your post, you just click it and it's
3:17
added, then you can adjust where you want to put it. If you want it to be like at the top here or in
3:22
the center, so what I'll do is I'll actually keep it to the top a little bit because I will be
3:28
writing here and I have added the post. Now this is our background. I want to change the
3:33
background color. So select the background color and now. it's giving me the color palette within my image
3:39
I'm going to select from here. And I think this is the color that I want to go for or maybe this one
3:45
This one is too dark. So let's go with this one. Perfect. Now I'll go with the text because I want to add a text to my post
3:53
But we'll keep it super chill so that it's not that obvious. We can either go with a simple text or we can go with some of the template text here
4:03
But I'm just going to go with the subheading. so that it's not that big and not that small either
4:08
So I have added my, you know, text here. We'll customize it and I'm going to change the font
4:15
And the font is going to be italic I looking for something italic A lot of free fonts are available so you don have to worry about it And we just going to scroll down to find an italic phone or something like that
4:28
And I think this one is it. Oh, perfect. So now I'll adjust my text and we'll place it here like this
4:36
I will change the text color and we'll give it the orange color that we have in our, you know, post
4:42
Let's actually change the phone because let's change this one and check out some of the others
4:48
Okay, so this one looks like more, you know, classic and vogue
4:53
So we're going to go over this one and I'll place it here. Okay, perfect
4:57
Now if I want to add different elements, we'll just go to the elements. And here I'm going to search for flowers
5:04
We're going to go to the graphics and I'm looking for this. Perfect
5:09
And I'll place it here. Now you can see this is a post that I created with Kenva
5:14
And this actually looks really good. These are the kind of posts that you see on Instagram on different ad pages
5:20
If you have a business page, then this is how you will add your products
5:24
Let's say you sell bag. If you have an aesthetic Instagram page, then you will use these kind of, you know, aesthetics to it
5:31
If you have, you know, a brand, then you can use and edit your photos like these
5:36
These are going to be the simple post on Instagram that play an important role
5:40
When it comes to creating stories and reels as well, then I will actually quickly show you that
5:46
And we're going to go back to our canva.com dashboard. And this time, what we can do is we can go to the template section
5:53
and we can search for Instagram Reel or Instagram Story. So I'm going to go with Instagram Reel
6:00
And here we have our Reel templates available. So you don't even have to do a lot when it comes to creating reels
6:08
You can use any of these, you know, templates from Canva. For example, you can check this one out
6:15
This one is looking really good This is a reel And you can see different scenes And each scene has this text and it has like these you know different transitions And you can use a template to save your time Pack order with me Here we have one of the other templates Okay let check this one out Okay so we have the text Then we getting these cool transitions
6:40
Okay, different scenes. And now you can see a simple packing reel is looking really static and placing
6:48
Okay, this one here as well. This is a real template for different images
6:53
This is like a scrape book type of template and you can use this one
6:58
Once you go to the canvas, it will look like, it will look the same and you can just insert your media into it
7:05
Click on customized template. When it comes to editing a video or a reel within Canva, the canvas is quite same that we get here only
7:14
At the bottom here, you will be able to see that we have different scenes and you can switch between the scenes really easily
7:20
So you can work on the first scene. And then here we have the duration
7:24
Again, you can change the background color. you can animate text, you can animate the, you know, scene here
7:30
When it comes to using a template, you'll just customize the different elements to it
7:34
For instance, if you wanted to change the text, you can do that. And if you want to change like, you know, the image here
7:41
So it's very simple. Just go to your uploads and select the image from your computer or you can just add the image that you already had
7:50
So let's go with the same image. So let's say I want to go with this one
7:54
So I'll just replace the image and it will be added here. Then we have this background
7:59
Let's change the background as well. And for my background, I'm going to go with this
8:05
And there you go. This is what it looks like now. And now I can even customize the text color to completely change the template and make it my own real
8:14
