5 powerful design tools on Canva to make your Diwali more magical

Diwali, known as the festival of lights, is one of the biggest festivals in India. From the twinkling diya lamps to the vibrant colours of rangoli, Diwali lights up India and the communities that celebrate it around the world.

While it’s easy to get into a rut of making the same generic gestures during festivals, here are some ways Canva can help you design content for your business, friends, and families:

● Greeting Cards: With thousands of Diwali elements and templates in the Canva library, brighten up a loved one's day or add a personal touch to your customer relationships with a greeting card that's as dazzling as the festival itself. With Magic Edit, edit photos in the cards, change the colour of clothing to your favourite colours, add some extra lights and sparkles or simply swap out unwanted objects in the background. You can do it all this Diwali!

● Event Invitations: Make your guests’ eyes light up when they get their event invitations. Use Canva’s free drag-and-drop video editor to create professional, engaging videos. Upload or record clips or choose from Canva’s free library of videos and audio tracks, then add extra magic with animations and transitions. Add a little extra panache to your Diwali office event and your at-home celebrations with Canva!

● Menu Cards: Inviting people over for Diwali, organizing an office gathering or designing your menu for the Diwali Mela? Create customised menu cards for your special Diwali meals and add an incredible touch to your celebrations be it at home or at the office. With logos, illustrations, fonts, templates, and a vast media library, you’ll need no advanced design skills to make every dish eye-catching.

● Social Media Posts: Diwali wouldn’t be complete without showing off your festivities on the gram! Capture celebratory memories in stunning social posts for Diwali and make your photos more impressive with Canva’s Photo Editor and stand out with your reels and stories with the multitude of effects, filters, stickers and more, that you can use to spruce them up. Magic Design will help you design your posts and Magic Switch will effortlessly convert your ideas to fit your favourite platform and in case you want to add a little extra sparkle, Canva’s Text to Image and Text to Video can help you make captivating work.
