Thank you for sharing this useful video lecture 👍 Especially useful for me were: a) Feature of resizing with ALT; b) Double click of text field; c) Brand template;

[@begoodtolife]

Hi, I have taken your course on Udemy. Your way of teaching is easy to follow and I much appreciate, Thanks

[@learncanvawithgreg]

You're most welcome, I'm glad you're happy with the course! Have a great day! cheers, Greg

[@dianepuri870]

you are the only one only one who talks about real estate on the desktop. this is what i thought about initially .. subscribed ..

Your new subscriber😃

[@learncanvawithgreg]

Thanks for subbing.

[@chkdsk1]

Is there no free-of-charge elements only search anymore? I can't see such an option in the filter menu.

[@learncanvawithgreg]

Yeah, I no longer see that option either which is a little disappointing. You can scroll and look for search results that do not have the pro/crown icon, but it is definite more tedious.

[@KithandKinn-um3ji]

i have found that typing the word free in the search bar helps just a little. Example "blue flourishes free"

[@latifaanggrek]

I came here cause saw your name on Udemy, and i search your name across KZbin and Instagram but i didn't find it turn out that your name at those apps is learn canva with greg not greg Radcliffe 😆
