There are a few different ways that you can outline text in Canva. One way is to use the “Text” tool and click on the “Outline” option in the top menu bar. This will allow you to create an outlined version of your text.
Another way to outline text is to use the “Shape” tool and draw a rectangle around your text. You can then adjust the opacity of the rectangle so that it is less visible.
Finally, you can also add a background color to your text using the”Background” option in the “Effects” menu bar.
This will create a solid background color behind your text.
There are a few different ways that you can style text in HTML using < p >, < b >, and < u > tags. The < p > tag will create a paragraph of text, while the < b > tag will make your text bold. You can also underline your text using the < u > tag.
Making some adjustments to the Text
You can also make any necessary changes to the text you have specified, freely.
Offset
By default, the offset setting is configured to be 50.
To achieve the “Outline” effect in its most basic form, move the sliders all the way to the left (0) (meaning no offset).
The complete offset of your highlighted text effect can be achieved by dragging the slider all the way to the right (100).
In previous design work that I’ve done, I’ve often maintained an offset value that’s close to the default. In recent times, however, I’ve been setting the offset to somewhere between 10 and 25. Naturally, this will be determined by your preferred aesthetic and design style!
Color
Make sure that the colour of your text is changed to the colors that correspond with your brand.
- Inside Color of Outlined Text: If you want to alter the color of the inside of your text, you need to use the color button that is located on the ‘Splice’ function.
- Outside Outline Text Color: In order to modify the outline of your text, you will need to use the button labeled “standard text color” that is located in your Canva editor.
It is my recommendation that you choose a color that is lighter for the body of your text and a version of the same color that is darker for the outline.
Thickness
The thickness parameter is initially configured to have a value of 50.
To create a light outline for the text, move the slider all the way to the left (0).
To create a heavy text outline, move the slider all the way to the right to the number 100.
Direction
By default, the direction setting is set to a value of -45.
Even while I almost often leave the Direction option at its default value (-45), you are more than welcome to experiment with many other values for this parameter in order to determine which one is most suitable for the particular design aesthetic that you favor.
What is Text animation?
Creating moving characters, phrases, or paragraphs is known as “text animation” in the field of computer graphics. It has to do with making text move in a specific way, whether it is across the screen, within a specific area, or according to a specific pattern.
Adding text animations to videos is easy and can be done using a variety of tools and plugins. Nevertheless, there are instances when we need to tweak the text animation that a plugin or preset is using, so familiarity with this process is essential.
The text animators in After Effects are top-notch, so you can make stunning text animations there. Let’s go into the inner workings of these text animators so you may customize the pre-existing effects and develop your own text animations from scratch.
Canva tips
In order to make your presentation pleasing to the eyes, keep in mind these do’s and dont’s:
- AVOID introducing a plethora of diverse animations into a single layout.
- Keep things as straightforward as possible.
- NEVER choose a font style that is difficult to read, such as script or cursive.
- DO make the wording large and bold so that it may be easily read on a mobile device.
- Avoid making the animation too quick or too sluggish.
- DO choose a viewing-friendly animation speed for your target demographic.
