Hey Dtuber's! Canva's New Feature is a Game Changer for Thumbnail Images
Hi Friends!
Before digging into this cool new feature, I'd like to take a second and mention what an awesome tool Canva is for creatives. If you aren't already using it - it can really help up your game on @dtube video thumbnails, or to make graphics for blog posts. Or if you are like me - you can also use it to spice up your @actifit daily reports! (I use actifit on my secondary account - @shinebright!)
They literally have thousands and thousands of beautifully made templates for any type of application - Youtube, Instagram, Facebook... and even posters, album art covers, logo design and tons more. All of these designs are the perfect dimensions for the various applications listed - so it takes the guesswork out of how your thumbnail image will look once uploaded.
The best part is? The app is totally free to use! You can either download the app or use the website canva.com in a browser.
Updated Feature
In this video - I do a screenshare and show you guys the new color drop feature. Even though Canva has a lot of templates - they give you tons of options for customizing colors, fonts and style. Getting the right colors all together can make or break a good thumbnail image - and their new color dropper takes the guesswork out for you.
It basically allows you to grab the exact color of another hue in the picture - to make sure everything looks super professional and clean.
Yes, this is not new technology. You could upload your photo into a separate site - grab the color code - and then manually input it into canva. But that just adds a few extra steps to the process. Now it is built right into the app so it couldn't be easier!
For example - last night when I was making my Actifit cover image - I was able to make my font the exact color of my beanie - so I knew it would look good and match.
I hope you guys found this helpful! I'm sure stoked about this new feature so I can more easily make sure all of my colors look good together.
For example - in the thumbnail image of this post... the pink actually came from my plant stand at the bottom of the photo and the grey came from my tank top!

For sure, Canva is a game changer!!! Literally it is !
It gives countless opportunities to everyone who wanna design some graphics.
The best part about it is, it's absolutely FREE of cost which makes it even popular.
On the other hand they constantly keep it improving and developing and bringing out new features to its line up.
The Color Drop looks great on both of your thumbs!!!
The Plant Stand Did the job !!! And your beannie as well!!
Thanks For Sharing!!
Cheers!

Love it been using it for a good two years now and they keep adding some new cool features. I wish they had some monthly plan that unlocked all designs or reduced the $1 fee on some of the designs

Yeah i totally agree. I never end up using their paid images because I do'nt want to pay the dollar - but sometimes they really do have the perfect image and it would be nice to easily unlock them!
yeah they have AI running over the photo now pulling out the colours for palettes which is sick. nice video.
Thanks @teamhumble! I'm loving this new feature. The next thing that would be awesome to see is if they suggested complimentary colors based on the color you pull out of the photo. Often designs will have 2-3 colors in them and it would be pretty sick if it suggested a few color combo's that would look good! Maybe I should send that suggestion to them. lol
yeah, would not be a big thing to do now they have the tech in there ya know?
Looks pretty good! As I look how to make more presentable posts, this will come in handy. Thanks!

Awesome! Yeah I totally love it. I've been using Canva for about 3 or 4 years. I used to just use it to make posters and random things at work - and when I started making content here on Steem it was soooo helpful!
