My first attempt with Canva will try and improve with my next post. I couldnt undo the files id found for a 4folksyfinds so will have another go later.
I think the animated graphic is off putting I thought it would draw attention to the post, but instead I want to scroll on by. I’ve alot to learn about SM

I liked it Christine, it’s quite subtle and doesn’t distract from your prints. I found the animation caught my eye enough to make me pause on that post.

Thanks Emma that was my intention but it made me a bit dizzy. I avoid reels as some are just to fast and then you end up down a rabbit hole of stuff. I want something subtle. I need to play about with canva again tonight.

I agree with Emma @TheHawthornHeart I like your subtle animation. The reels I don’t like are the ones that the text that’s been added whizzes by so fast you can’t read it, I just scroll on with those, same with stories, if people want me to read stuff I need it slower, I’m quite a fast reader but some of them I can’t get past the first half a dozen words.

We’ve made some templates to make adding the Folksy logo to your images easier - https://www.canva.com/design/DAFil9ZSuc0/X86LLjn95uHqWv6ZEJkm4Q/view?utm_content=DAFil9ZSuc0&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink&mode=preview

As it’s on Canva, you can also use avif files so there are no extra steps needed if you’re saving images straight from Folksy.

If you find Canva a bit daunting and aren’t sure what to do with it, I’ve added step by step instructions (from desktop) on this post - https://talk.folksy.com/t/what-could-we-all-do-to-get-folksy-better-known/26119/291

Thank you so much for doing the templates @kimfolksy. I just went straight there with your link and this was so quick and easy!

Aah @folksycontent did all the good work putting the templates together and giving lots of options to choose from, but we’re glad we could help.

I know for people confident in photo editing and with the right program/app it might be a quick job to add the logo on themselves, but we know we have people of varying technical abilities here and when you’re not used to it, it can feel rather overwhelming. As everyone’s shown such interest in the idea of using the logo, we’re glad we can help make it simple for everyone to use.

I think I’ve done it :astonished: although I managed to download all of the templates on Canva three times to my photos app and had to through deleting all of them except the one I wanted #typical

@bekokodesigns you can select which page you want - but I’m good at forgetting and quite often download everything :see_no_evil::see_no_evil:

Yes check for a tick box! It automatically has ā€œall pagesā€ selected when you go to save, so you need to untick that and then tick the specific page.
