How to use AI in Canva to make presentations easily

In this AI world, let’s unleash the power of artificial intelligence in Canva to create animations and exploring various other hidden gems of Canva. This AI won’t only help you create the visual part of your presentation deck but it will also help you write all the content and other aspects as well. So, you don’t have to start with an empty canvas. The AI features in Canva will also help you improve titles and create unique images that are not available in the Canva library and we will show you all of it here. Canva helped me write all the content and some of the images were generated by the AI so if you guys are interested let’s begin further.

How To Create Presentation With Magic Desgin?

Let’s go to canva.com and we’re going to create a new presentation document.

To do this you can use the button on top of the screen that says “create a design”.

From here we are going to select the option that says presentation 16:9.

We’re going to use “magic design” to create a presentation in seconds. This is the AI feature that I was talking about. This feature is available only in this format at the moment so if you were to select this format the 4×3 you won’t be able to see this feature.

We can access “magic design” in two different ways.

You will see it on the left-hand side. You will see a banner that says “magic design” describe the presentation you want and we’ll write and design a draft for you instantly so we can either click in here.

But if at some point this Banner disappears, you can access magic design with the button on the bottom of your screen i.e., Canva assistant button.

This time and from here we’ll see magic design, If You Don’t See Magic design under recommended actions you can type in here magic design.

If you are testing this feature for the first time, you don’t really need to create a presentation but you also just want to try it out. You can click on the button for an example. So, I’m going to click to see what Canva provides.

You will see a dialogue box appear on the screen where you can write the TITLE for your presentation.

Tap on “GENERATE” to see the outcome presentation.

And, here are the outcome for what we were exactly waiting for.

Use Magic Write To Improve Your Titles

We’re going to use to improve the titles on our presentations is called Magic right and this one is available for Canva pro users. let’s say that we want to improve the text that we see on the cover of our presentation deck.

We’re going to select this text box that I want to edit or improve.

We will be going to the Canva systems and from here we’ll see this option called edit with magic right. All of these features have the crown and that’s why I mentioned that this one is a Canva pro feature.

This time we are going to use “edit with magic right”. This window will appear and we have the text from the text box inside the magic right.

We will be adding a prompt to improve this title. so, I am just going to ask magic right to make this title catchier and then press return. Okay…!

This is what Canva “Unlocking the power of reading”.

Magic Edit in Canva

The next new feature powered by AI is called Magic edit and this feature will allow me to edit any part of my photo by brushing over a certain object in my photo and then replace that object by another.

Let me show you how it works with image that I have right here in this document.

The first step you will need to select your photo.

Click on that photo and then click on the edit photo button right here.

Now you should see magic edit.

The way magic edit is a free feature so that is a real gift from Canva that could easily have been a pro feature. So, every Canva user will have the possibility to edit up to 100 photos per day using magic edit.

Alright, so we will be going to click on magic edit right here which says one brush over the image. Highlights of the image will be edited.

From the slider that we have on the left of the screen, we can resize our brush.

When you’re done highlighting or brushing over the object you want to replace, just click on continue.

Now what do you want to generate in the brushed area, why not ask Canva to do that for us.

Now is where the magic is really going to happen. Canva is going to generate four versions of this emoji. choose between one of these four versions and there you go.

There you go. Here the highlighted area is replaced by a different generated emoji.

Translate feature in Canva

I want to talk about is called translate and this feature will help you translate anything that is text based in your design into any of the 100 plus languages that Canva can deal with. So, let’s try it out.

We have the perfect template right here, that is being prepared for you. This is my template having a text box.

A call to action is to spot “translate”. Well, “translate” is going to be tucked under your apps right here.

You’ll need to click on apps and then you scroll down a bit and you should see a button below that says translate.

Click on that. The first thing I want to say is that you have two different tabs so make sure you check the settings once you are pretty good to go with the first menu right here the first part of the UI.

I would say the first box is translate from which you can let that to automatically detect especially if you’re working in a language like English.

Then you can choose which language you want to translate to. So, I want to switch to French.

Tap on “TRANSLATE”.

Let’s see, what it’ll do for us.

How to do Beat Sync in Canva using AI

Let’s continue to explore the magic AI features from Canva and this time we are going to look at a specific feature that is going to be awesome for making videos, this one is called Beat sync.

Beat sync will allow you to skip the manual editing when you’re making videos and match your video footage with a soundtrack with the click of a button.

Let me show you how it works. Let’s jump into a video project that I pre-arrange for you and try it out.

So, what we are going to do is to use a video project. You see different video clips right here. This project that I have laid out here have bunch of different video clips. I have aligned these with no soundtrack as of now. So, I’m going to start by finding a soundtrack.

You can upload your very own piece of music or you can find a soundtrack in the Canva audio library.

You can go to your apps and then find the audio. Now, this is a pro feature, if you are going to use this you will also have access to all of the pro soundtrack in Canva.

I’m going to be use any of this sound and Canva is going to position it on the timeline right here.

So, with the track selected I’m going to click on beat sync.

Beat sync is going to do is to realign all of that. So, let’s turn this on. Now it’s kind of perfectly aligned and let’s see the difference. After all this, you’ll really be able to observe the effect of beat sync. This really helped me really assist and changing the visuals based on the changes that I can hear in my soundtrack. This is quite hard to explain really what it does with words because it’s something you have to listen to and feel really. But here I really noticed that my audio track was synced with the changes of the visuals so this is Beat sync.

Again, it is a pro feature and a kind of magic because it is AI assisted in order for them to recognize the peaks in the music in your soundtrack.

You can also learn these tricks but to be a pro at design, you must have hands on software like Adobe Iluustrator, Photooshop. ESS institute being a top graphic deisgn institute in Delhi can also help you with the practicle graphic design course.

Boilerplate in HTML

A boilerplate in HTML is a template you will add at the start of your project.

Let us say you are writing a code for your website and you do not want to write all the basic code by yourself.

1) For what you want to have some shortcut, and there’s a good news “VS CODE” has a shortcut for this boilerplate. First thing, you just need to start coding simply by pressing (shift+1) which will going to return exclamation mark on your screen on your code editor.

2) Here appear two options from which you have to select the very first and boom here you have your boilerplate ready in front of you.

Here Are Some Basic Components Of HTML BoilerPlate

1. <! DOCTYPE html>: It specifies the version of HTML being used. HTML 5 is the most recent and extensively supported version in instance.

2. <html>: An <HTML> is the base element of the page. Every other HTML element on the page is contained within it.

3. <head>: The head section has metadata about the document, including connections to style sheets, the title, character encoding, and other metadata. It doesn’t have any content that is seen on the webpage immediately.

4. <meta charset=”UTF-8″>: This meta tag indicates the document’s character encoding, which is usually set to UTF-8 to accommodate a large character set.

5. Using the meta name=”viewport” and content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0″ This meta tag facilitates creating the webpage to various screen sizes, particularly on mobile devices.

6. <title>: This element sets the webpage’s title, which shows up in the title bar or tab of the browser.

7. <Body>: All of the material that will be shown on the webpage, including text, pictures, links, and other media, is contained in this area.

Heading in HTML

Let’s learn about some tags to the body and see what they look like. Beginning with our heading tags. We have our opening and closing heading tags numbered <h1> to <h6>. <h1> defines the most important heading. This should represent the main heading/subject for the whole page. Heading are a way to create emphasis and a sense of visual hierarchy of information.

<h6> defines the least important heading.

DO NOT SKIP the heading levels. You must write <h3> after <h2> and so on.

1) Let’s try writing by ourselves.

2) For output, we need to save the file in our code editor.

3) Right click on the file and tap “open in default browser”.

4) And this is how all the headings are printed on the screen.

<STRONG> TAG

Let’s see how strong tag works in html and how to use it properly. Before you decide to markup your text, you need to answer three questions.

Is the text super important? If yes then you must use strong tag. Is it super urgent? If yes then you must use strong tag as well is it very serious? If yes then you must use strong tag. Again now let’s write some code and learn how to use strong tag properly.

Here we will open up the html document we have created.

Using visual studio, I have a block of text and saying that “Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle anddon’t wait for opportunity, create it.” As you want to make more emphasis on bolded sentence.

So we just mark up this part using html strong tag.

So, the opening strong tag looks like starting with left angle bracket (<) strong and right angle bracket (<strong>) and a closing strong tag looks like this starting with left angle bracket, forward slash strong and right angle bracket (</strong>).

Save the program and let’s try this up in the browser.

Text content i marked up using strong tag is rendered as a bold text. But that doesn’t mean you to make your text bold. Because you can only use strong tag if your content is super important or super urgent or super serious.

<EM> Tag

Try answering question before we actually get to know about the use of <em> tag. Is there any word or phrase you want to place great emphasis. If yes, then you must use <em> tag.

To wrap it up, now let’s write some code and learn how to use <em> tag properly.

I have written two sentences. 1) This is not a joke. If you paid close attention when i speak out the sentence, i stressed more emphasis on the word not compared to other words. So we can just wrap the word NOT with the <em> tag.

2) We have to leave now. Again, more emphasis will be on the word “now” compared to other words. Perform the same steps you did with earlier sentence.

Save your document and try this up in the browser.

Content we enclosed up using <em> tag is italicized. But it doesn’t mean that you can use <em> tag if you only want to make your text italic.

Paragraph Tag <p>

Almost all websites use text and one of the most common ways to organize text is with paragraphs. You can create paragraphs in html using the <p> tag.

You’ll need a start tag and an end tag by default. Each paragraph will have a little bit of margin above and below it to give it some space between other elements. It’s very common to use the <p> tag whenever you’re working with a large amount of text.

If you want to enable horizontal scroll, right click and click on command palette.

Search for toggle word wrap and the thing will be done.

<INS> Tag

The <ins> tag in HTML is used to indicate that a section of text has been inserted into a document. This tag is typically used in conjunction with the <del> tag, which is used to indicate deleted or removed text.

Here’s a common scenario where the <ins> tag might be used: Let’s say you have a document or a webpage that is being collaboratively edited by multiple people.

If someone adds new content to the document, you can use the <ins> tag to highlight that added content.

In this example, the text “newly added” will be visually distinguished (often underlined by default) to indicate that it’s new content.

Super script and subscript

Superscript and subscript are typographical elements used to format text in a way that it appears above or below the regular text line. They have different use cases:

1) Superscript (<sup>):

Superscript is used for characters or numbers that are raised above the regular text line and which can be commonly used for Exponents in mathematical expressions ( x²), Ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd), Trademarks or copyrights (™, ©) and some others.

<p> Chemical formula of water is H<sub>2</sub>O</p>

2) Subscript (<sub>):

Subscript is used for characters or numbers that are lowered below the regular text line and commonly used for Chemical formulas (H₂O), Mathematical notations (CO₂), Footnote references in mathematical expressions (x₁, x₂).

Save and document and right click to reflect it on the default browser.

The superscript will raise it up like an exponent and the subscript will lower it down below the regular text. You can also create fractions in the middle of text or equations or chemical formulas. Hopefully you’ll use this in your scientific webpages and mathematical webpages or just for fun maybe.

HTML Entities

HTML entities are what we would use to display reserved characters which the browser would otherwise interpret as being intended for writing code.

As an example: There would be the angled bracket that we use when making our tags. If we were using the (less than) angled bracket then the browser would interpret any text that follows as the name of some element’s opening tag. So to display these characters as a text we can replace these reserved characters that confuse the browser with a corresponding html entity. Here I have a table which shows available entities that we can use in html.

I am writing a paragraph and here I tried giving spaces like this will you expect? You will expect that all spaces should be printed. But look what happened here. The spaces are not printed. Why did this happen?

This happens because, by default HTML It chops of all spaces and it considers it as one. So what do you need to do over here?

If you want to use additional spaces, then you need to use Html entities.

How we can do that? So here, we will write “&nbsp” for every extra space you want to add. nbsp is non-breaking space.

<p>This is my first &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp program</p>

You will save your document and you will look there that another one space is added.

You won’t use it that much in your websites. Nbsp website does not at all look good. Don’t use it at all to bring spaces, because we will use margin padding and CSS selectors and properties are there we will use all those things.

Now, look at one more scenario. Here suppose if I want to write <p> as text and this should come in written so look what happened? Look at this, Where is my <p>? I have written <p> also over here.

But I want to see this in my website. How should I bring this? If I write this, then it will consider it as a tag.

Here you write < for smaller than angular brackets and over here write > for greater than angular bracket and as you do this, <p> will be shown as text on browser. If you want to write this you can’t write it without this. And these are html entities.

<p>paragraph is written like <p>.</p>

Html entities are not just used for these. You can even use html entities to write such characters which are not even present in your keyboard or on your keyboard they are as special characters. Like we can write pound symbol (money) and many other things that we will show you with some examples.

Suppose here I have to write “pound”. So, here I will write something like “&pound” and here I will write pound is written like “&pound”. Now look over here pound has shown in browser. And don’t get confused at all.

<p>Pound is written like this &pound. </p>

Similarly, if I have to write something like some special characters we can make use of HTML entities with the help of the table given above.

<PRE> tag

The <pre> tag is used to define preformatted text. This means that the text is displayed in a fixed-width font (usually a mono-spaced font like Courier) and maintains both spaces and line breaks.

It’s commonly used for displaying code snippets, poetry, ASCII art, or any text where the spacing and line breaks are significant

If you write like the code shown below, then it will come as it is. Keeping all the spaces intact and all the new lines intact but here it is not that tag will show up. For tags we have to use entities only.

Save the document to show the

mages in HTML

Let’s talk about images; it’s very simple to insert it.

You have to write the img and as soon as you write the img and press enter, you will be going to get src=”” alt=””.

Here in “img scr=” You have to provide the source of the image i.e. where is your image, either it can be on the internet, or it can be in your local.

If you want to enter the “url” of an online image, perform this by right clicking on the image.

If it is in your local then what will you have to do is to enter the full path of image.

What is the meaning of “alt” that if this image is not loaded then what text to show? Here I have written “please check your internet connection.”

This is how the image is perfectly shown and the text “Please check you internet connection” because of that particular image doesn’t existed on the given path.

Row Span And Colspan In Table

To create table in our program we will use table tag.(<table> </table>)

There will be 2 things inside the table.

1) <thead>: It will come under the head of the table.

2) <tbody>: it will come under the body of the table.

There is no need to mug up, you guys will automatically going to get this easily. We start with a row with the help of a (<tr>) and inside the head by writing (<th>) under <tr>.

<table>

<tr>

<th>Employee Id</th>

<th>Employee role</th>

</tr>

</thead>

Ok, my <thead> done now you will add data here in the table.

Now, you Have to make a table row, and I will not write (<th>) inside it, this time I will write (<td>) i.e. table data.

Now, to add more columns, put another heading and keep adding data.

<tbody>

<tr>

<td> Rohan </td>

<td> Analyst</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td> Mohan</td>

<td> programer</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td> HTML expert</td>

</tr>

</tbody>

Save your program> right click> open in default browser> output.

Colspan and rowspan are attributes used in HTML tables to control the spanning of cells:

Colspan (Column Span): To make a cell span over multiple columns, use the colspan attribute. The value of the colspan attribute represents the number of columns to span. Colspan allows a single cell to span multiple columns horizontally. It’s useful when you have a header or data cell that should cover more than one column.

If you want a header cell to span two columns, you would use colspan=”2″.

Rowspan (Row Span): To make a cell span over multiple rows, use the rowspan attribute. Rowspan allows a single cell to span multiple rows vertically. It’s useful when you have a header or data cell that should cover more than one row.

If you want a header cell to span two rows, you would use rowspan=”2″.

Conclusion

You now have enough knowledge to know use different elements, properties, and the structure of HTML pages to create creative websites. Recall that in order to improve your web development abilities, you should never stop learning and investigating increasingly complex aspects.

HTML is just a structure of your website or web app, you will also need to have hands on CSS, javascript, bootstrap for styling and functionality along with one server side language too. You can learn all of them together offline in Dwarka at Best Web Development institute in Delhi, from 4 different locations (including Dwarka MOr, Kakrola, Nangloi, Bahadurgarh)

Well she’s clearly not a fish but by calling her fish, we are saying something about her love for water.

Personification:

Personification is a figure of speech that is used to impart human attributes to something that is not human. It is also used to personify an abstract thing/quality.

Examples:

The wind whispered in my ears.

The sun greeted the morning with a warm smile.

It is widely used by novelists and writers but we can also use it in our daily life and have fun with it.

The thumb rule to use personification is when you want to highlight an important event or thing.

Alliteration:

Alliteration is applicable anywhere but it’s very useful when you’re highlighting an important event in first or third person. Alliteration is the backbone of any tongue twister.

EXAMPLE:

Under the captaincy of M.S. DHONI in Indian men’s cricket team was recreated, reorganized, rejuvenated and reborn.

A different kind of “r” repetition is observed here.

Pun:

Pun is defined as the classic wordplay, where one word has two meanings or is depicting two different situations. This figure of speech is unarguably a comedian’s favorite, because the punch line is unexpected. There are so many words that we use in our daily life which spell or sound the same but means different.

Puns are among the most engaging and entertaining figures of speech.

Keep an ear out when you find something like this. Look out for the opportunity for Words which sound the same and be funny or should I say be funny.

EXAMPLE:

I told my computer I needed a break, and now it won’t stop sending me vacation ads.

Hyperbole:

This is a figure of speech which everybody is born with well yes I exaggerated a little. Hyperbole means to say something in a hyper mode i.e. which means just over exaggerating it and saying it to create effect.

EXAMPLE:

I’ve told you a million times to clean your room which sounds like Really Mom, “million” this is going to cost us a ton of money.

Irony:

This one represents contrast in a very theatrical way. Writers use it very often because it makes you read the line again once more to applaud.

EXAMPLE:

Imagine stepping into a cluttered space and exclaiming, “Wow, this place is so clean and organized.”

Apostrophe:

Apostrophe is a figure of speech in which a speaker addresses someone or something that is not present directly, as if it were living, understandable, with the potential of responding.

EXAMPLE:

“Sun, please shine tomorrow for our picnic.”

Oxymoron:

This is defined as figure of speech that combines two contradictory or opposed ideas to produce a paradoxical result. It frequently reflects the complexities or ironies of a situation.

EXAMPLE:

“Jumbo shrimp” is an oxymoron because “jumbo” refers to something enormous and “shrimp” refers to something small. To create a playful impact, the words contradict each other.

Assonance: Assonance is defined as a literary trick in which repetition of vowel sounds occurs in nearby words. Unlike rhyme, which involves the repeating of both consonant and vowel sounds, assonance relies solely on the repetition of vowel sounds to create a melodic and rhythmic impact.

EXAMPLE:

They seemed to like the green peas salad.

Antithesis: A figure of speech that involves opposing concepts, words, or phrases within a balanced grammatical structure is known as antithesis. This produces a sharp contrast that highlights the distinctions between the two pieces. Antithesis is frequently utilized to illustrate a point or highlight an idea in an interesting way.

EXAMPLE:

“Speech is silver, but silence is gold.” –

In this example, the contrast between “speech” and “silence,” as well as “silver” and “gold,” exemplifies antithesis. It highlights the importance of silence over speaking.

Metonymy: Metonymy is a figure of speech in which one word or phrase is replaced with another that is closely related to or represents the original. Metonymy, as opposed to metaphor, involves a more indirect relationship between the replaced term and the actual concept or thing.

EXAMPLE:

“The pen is mightier than the sword.”

How figures of speech help you enhance your English speaking abilities?

Figures of speech facilitate communication through allowing difficult ideas or emotions to be represented in a more interesting and lasting way. Metaphors and similes, for example, create mental images, making spoken language more effective and make one to understand better. When people use such things into their speeches, it not only draws the listener’s attention but also helps them deliver their ideas more clearly.

These figures, whether through the rhythmic nature of alliteration or the imaginative wordplay of a pun, bring a layer of inventiveness to your language. Learning how to use figures of speech differently allows you to express yourself more creatively.

Higher the use of figure of speech in your language, better will be the one’s ability to talk clearly in a wide range of situations, which ranges from professional presentations to everyday conversations.

Figures of speech, in essence, not only embellish language but also act as essential tools for efficient communication and expression, thus enhancing English speaking abilities.

Figures of speech are an integral part of literature and cultural expression. Idioms, Proverbs and allegories, founded in figurative language, express cultural wisdom and shared experiences.
