Surprise! Final design trends + Canva templates❤️
|
Hey, Reader, Welcome to the grand finale of the 3-part series featuring some of my favorite eye-catching design trends that are not only fun to look at—but super easy to recreate in Canva. 🙌🎉 If you’ve been following along the past couple of weeks, I’ve been dropping in with some of the easiest, eye-catching trends to recreate in Canva—straight from a recent training I hosted inside The Brand Boss Design Club. (Consider this your backstage pass to the cliff-notes.) Want to catch up? Real quick - before I share the last four HOT trends, there’s something I want to remind you of: There’s a big difference between copying and recreating.When you see a cool graphic and use it as inspiration to make something in your own style, that’s where the magic happens. ✨ Recreating trendy layouts, font pairings, and effects is one of the best ways to level up your design confidence, train your eye for what looks good, and stop second-guessing your own creations. It’s not about copying—it’s about understanding what makes a design “good” and adapting it to fit your own brand. Got it? Great! Let’s finish strong with four final trends I think you’re going to love!👇 🌫️ Trend #9: Accentuated TextWant your words to stand out? Add circles, underlines, highlights, or just play with the sizing of your text to make your designs and headlines more engaging and easier to digest. This trend is great for making key points impossible to miss!👇 🎨 Trend #10: Real-life MessagingTake a candid lifestyle photo (even a casual selfie!), then add a short bit of text, thought, or even a quote on top. Head over to the text effects and select "Background". Adjust it to your liking, and viola - a scroll-stopping graphic that feels authentic and totally unfiltered—in the best way.👇 ❤️🔥HOT TIP: This technique also works great with B-roll or a short video! 📝 Trend #11: GradientsGradients are still going strong—and for good reason! They help fade images naturally into the background, making designs feel cohesive and unified. Plus, they allow your text or design elements to stand out, making them easier to read. (And making it easier to design!) It's an easy way to make your graphics feel more intentional and less flat.👇 🧾 Trend #12: Emojis as Design ElementsEmojis aren’t just for texting anymore! Dropping a well-placed emoji into your headline or graphic can make your message more fun, expressive, and way more scroll-stopping. They help guide the eye, break up heavy text, and instantly add personality. 🎯 Just don’t overdo it—think of them like seasoning. A little dash goes a long way! That’s a wrap, Reader!I hope you found all of the hot design trends I've been sharing to be inspiring!
