You can create custom canvas shapes by combining existing shapes. Although the video mentions "grouping," it's important to note that this doesn't actually combine the shapes into a single, new shape, rather it overlaps them.
Here's a breakdown of how to achieve a custom look, though not through shape creation:
- Grouping:
- Select the shapes you want to combine.
- Use the "Group" function.
- This allows you to move and manipulate the shapes as one element.
- Important Note: Grouping is an arrangement technique. The shapes are still distinct, just treated as one for organizational reasons.
- The shapes overlap, meaning one may appear on top of the other. The shapes are not combined as a single entity.
While the reference provides information about grouping, it does not show how to truly "combine" shapes in Canva. The shapes will remain separate, simply treated as one item through the group functionality. There is no information in the video regarding more advanced methods for this. The reference video title is: "3 Ways To Create Custom Shapes in Canva - YouTube". However, it only includes grouping.
