Very clear and creative! Please make more videos with shapes technique on Canva. I am far from being creative and struggle to find a neat way about how I can combine photo and our - well, good but still visually boring, medical products, so that it looks altogether neat and cohesive. Just plopping the product on top of the photo looks 5th grade.... So playing with shapes must be the way?

I'm sick of my clients begging me to put designs in canva for this very reason. Doing all these hacks with 5 stupid shapes takes so long and I can't just freely go to town and get creative with this software. I HAVE to be in illustrator to get my juices flowing, then they get upset that the initial design isn't in canva. I try to explain I will move it to canva, but just certain objects need to be custom made and set in the background first. Then they gripe that I should just use the templates canva comes with, without realizing that to use those templates I still have to mess with them for longer than it would take me to just do the design in illustrator. I can knock out a flyer in illustrator in an hour, move it to canva with some custom SVG's in 30 minutes. If I used a canva template probably would need 2-3 hours to adjust shapes and figure out where all the tools are. Canva is VALUED AT 26 BILLION DOLLAR JUST GIVE ME A FRIGGEN PATHFINDER TOOL.

Its unbelievable that doing such a simple thing as editing a shape is so hard in Canva. I miss you Corel Draw!!!

Should have what Microsoft have for Powerpoint, Transformation ( Add, Subtract, Intersect, Fragment, Array) that will make Canva very powerful. Working around as above is really not productive and adding to file size.
