guide it's totally free to you I'll have that digital product starter guide Linked In the description box below so you can grab that right after you watch this video okay a couple things I want to mention before we dive in number one is that to work on canva you will have to have a canva account now you can totally use the free version of canvo I do have a link below in case you'd like to try canva Pro for 30 days for free you can click that and get a free 30-day trial to canva Pro but everything I'm going to be showing you in today's tutorial can definitely be done with the free version of canva now there are a lot of different types of canva templates you can sell but for today's tutorial we're going to be making an Instagram bundle so this is a social media bundle that people might use for their Instagram account so maybe posts or stories but I'm going to be showing you some different types of Instagram post templates that you could make as a bundle to sell okay so here we are when we come to canva.com you'll see your home page and we're going to come up here to create a design and you can enter in what size you want your design to be now if we're working on an Instagram template it's really easy because it already has these preset sizes for you you can choose Instagram story post whatever you want so for this example we're going to be working with a square Instagram post so we're going to create our canvas as a square and the first tip I want to talk about is using shapes so shapes are really popular in eye-catching in graphic design so one thing you can do right off the bat when you're creating your Instagram template graphic is you can choose a background color now I would suggest that you think of a color scheme that you might want to stick with maybe three or four different colors for your whole bundle so that everything is really cohesive and aesthetically pleasing and same thing for fonts so when you're choosing fonts for your text you don't want a million different fonts going on you want maybe just three fonts to focus on throughout your bundle of templates so we've got our background color here we might come over to elements and look for just a simple square shape so we might choose a square and then we can put a different color into this square of course a color that's matching our color theme here and we can do whatever we want with this Square so we might just size it up and over to create the look we want now what I want to show you specifically is if we come to elements I want you to scroll down to where it says frames this is one of my favorite sections on canva because they have all of these different shaped photo frames so what a frame is is a shape that you can actually drag onto your canvas and then you can put a photo in here and whatever photo or graphic you drag into your frame will be fitted to that shape so for instance if we wanted this circle right here then we could come back to elements and look for a photograph that we want to fit that Circle so let's
