Would you hire a lawyer whose website is written in bright pink Comic Sans? We didn\u2019t think so. Don\u2019t be that person.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wait, What is Canva?<\/h2>\n

Canva<\/a> is a beautiful website that allows you to design anything for web or print content.<\/p>\n

You can use Canva to create super-fancy marketing material to promote your Shop on social media, to your email newsletter list, or in print.<\/p>\n

Just a few ways to use Canva: Make a Facebook header banner featuring your Shop logo. Advertise your sales with a hip Instagram story animation. Create professional-looking graphics for your Shop\u2019s teaser image.<\/p>\n

Canva is the lazy way to make your Shop\u2019s design and ads pop.<\/p>\n

Do Fonts Really Matter?<\/h2>\n

tl;dr: Yes.<\/p>\n

Heard enough? Try the Canva Font Combination Tool<\/a> to start making beautiful ads now.<\/p>\n

Not convinced yet? Feeling defensive about your use of Comic Sans?<\/p>\n

Well, think of it this way: typography works just like the cover of a book. It draws attention to the content. It makes people want to read more. (Or not.)<\/p>\n

Typography can make or break your ads. It\u2019s no mystery why lawyers don\u2019t use magenta 48pt fonts. Your typography creates a mood, holds people\u2019s focus, and helps people recognize your brand.<\/p>\n

Fonts<\/h3>\n

Fonts are just one element of typography. Choose carefully. A font should be easy to read. The character spacing should help the text flow smoothly. Your font should add to and enhance your ad, rather than distract from it.<\/p>\n

Use the right font combinations and let your content shine.<\/p>\n

Color<\/h3>\n

Text color is another important part of compelling typography. For help choosing your color scheme, check out this blogpost<\/a> about Canva\u2019s handy-dandy color tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Emphasis<\/h3>\n

How do you emphasize important words or sentences? Guide your readers with a clear hierarchy. Organize longer texts with headings, subheadings and short paragraphs. Make important words or exciting messages large and bold to catch the reader\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n

How Does the Font Combinations Tool Work?<\/h2>\n

Canva\u2019s Font Combination Tool<\/a> couldn\u2019t be easier. You select a font you like, and the tool suggests a perfect match to compliment it. If only online dating matches were so simple.<\/p>\n

Give it a go and start making gorgeous ads today.<\/p>\n
