How Do I Create a Multiple Brand Kit in Canva?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a multiple brand kit in Canva. Brand kits are essential for maintaining consistency in your designs, especially if you have multiple brands or clients. With Canva's brand kit feature, you can store and organize all the brand assets in one place, making it easy to access and use them in your designs.
Step 1: To get started, log in to your Canva account. If you don't have an account yet, you can create one for free.
Step 2: Once you're logged in, click on the "Brand" tab located on the left-hand side of the page.
Step 3: Now, click on the "Create a new brand kit" button. A dialog box will appear where you can enter the name of your brand kit.
Step 4: Once you've named your brand kit, click on the "Create" button. You will now be taken to the brand kit editor.
Uploading Logos
To add your logos to the brand kit, click on the "Logos" section. Here, you can upload different variations of your logo for different use cases.
To upload a logo, simply click on the "Upload an image" button and select your desired logo file from your computer. Canva supports various image formats such as JPEG, PNG, and SVG.
If you have multiple brands or clients, you can upload their respective logos by clicking on the "+ Add new logo" button.
Selecting Colors
The next step is to select the colors that represent your brand or client. Click on the "Colors" section in the brand kit editor.
Here, you can choose from a variety of color options. You can either enter specific HEX codes or use the color picker to select colors from an image or website.
To add a color, click on the "+ Add new color" button. You can add as many colors as you need for your brand kit.
Choosing Fonts
The "Fonts" section allows you to select the fonts that align with your brand's style. Canva offers a wide range of fonts to choose from.
To add fonts to your brand kit, click on the "Fonts" section and select the "+ Add a font" button. You can search for specific fonts or explore different font categories.
Note: The font selection in Canva's brand kit feature is limited compared to Canva's main design editor. However, it still provides you with enough options to maintain consistency in your designs.
Saving Brand Assets
Once you've uploaded logos, selected colors, and chosen fonts for your brand kit, it's time to save them for future use.
To save an asset, simply click on the corresponding section (Logos, Colors, or Fonts) and then click on the "Save" button next to each asset. This ensures that they are stored in your brand kit and accessible whenever you create new designs in Canva.
Note: If you make any updates or changes to your brand assets in the future, make sure to update them within your brand kit as well.
Using Brand Kit Assets
Now that you have created a multiple brand kit in Canva, let's see how you can use the assets in your designs.
Step 1: Open the Canva editor and create a new design or open an existing one.
Step 2: Once you're in the editor, click on the "Brand" tab located on the left-hand side of the page.
Step 3: You will see your brand kits listed under the "Your Brand Kit" section. Click on the desired brand kit to access its assets.
Using Logos
To use a logo from your brand kit, simply click on it, and it will be added to your design. You can resize and reposition the logo as needed.
Applying Colors
To apply colors from your brand kit, click on a color swatch in the "Colors" section. This will open a color picker where you can choose how to apply the color to your design elements (e.g., text, shapes, backgrounds).
Selecting Fonts
To use fonts from your brand kit, select a text element in your design and then click on the "Fonts" section. Choose a font from your brand kit, and it will be applied to the selected text.
Note: Canva allows you to access multiple brand kits within one design. This is useful if you're working with multiple brands or clients simultaneously.
