Using Canva to create your own ad files is fairly simple if you know your way around the design platform and have an eye for graphic design. Canva can be used to create video or display files by importing your campaign logo, uploading photos or videos, choosing your brand's color codes, and adding text in your preferred fonts.
You can also create display designs in Canva directly through the Turn It Blue Ads platform - Just click on "My Creatives" in the left-hand navigation menu, then click the button for "New Creative" in the top right corner.
Choose "Banner" ads, and then click "Next" to move to the next screen.
In the next screen, you can just click the "Canva Button" button to open a pop-up box with more information.
Please note: you must have a Canva account and be logged in to use this feature. Canva is a free tool, and you can sign up at www.canva.com.
*If you are new to Canva- check out their Design School for a quick tutorial of how to use the platform.
Choose which file size you would like to design first, then click "Select."
Canva should open in your browser window to the correct file size. You can design your file as you like, then click 'Publish' inside Canva.
Your ad will automatically be added to the Turn It Blue Ads platform and a green checkbox will show next to the spec size you published.
You can also create display and video files using your own Canva account, download them, and upload them into the platform. Be sure to check on the appropriate specifications for video and display files so your designs will upload properly into the Turn It Blue Ads Platform. We also recommend you check the box to "Compress file" when you download your display files from Canva to ensure they meet file size specifications.
