If you want to add some extra visual interest to your Canva designs, one way to do so is by adding a shadow to an element. This can be a great way to make a text or image stand out, and can help create a more 3-dimensional look. Here’s how you can add a shadow to an element in Canva:

1. Select the element that you want to add a shadow to. 2. In the top toolbar, click on the ‘Effects’ icon (it looks like a sun). 3. From the dropdown menu, select ‘Shadow’.

4. You will then be able to choose the direction, distance, and opacity of the shadow. Play around with the settings until you get the look that you want. 5. Once you’re happy with the shadow, click ‘Apply’.

That’s all there is to it! Adding a shadow to an element in Canva is quick and easy, and can really help make your designs pop. So next time you’re working on a project, consider adding some shadows to really make things stand out.
