Simplifying Design for Bloggers newsletter: A weekly dose of all things Canva to go from blog to business.

Having a cohesive look is an essential part of your blog's unique brand identity. It's vital for recognizability and builds trust with your readers.

In fact, studies show that a person must "hear" about a product approximately seven times before they feel comfortable investing in it.

We think the same holds true for blogs in general. We firmly believe a person needs to "hear" about a blog's message quite a bit before they're ready to take action.

In this week's blog post, we're sharing how you can achieve brand consistency to build confidence with your readers.

🎨 CANVA DESIGN TIP

If you have dozens of stock photos saved in a folder that you'd love to use if you could, let's say, change the color of an object, Magic Edit is just what you need.

Aside from changing the color, you can actually add texture, swap out backgrounds and objects (like a bouquet of daisies for roses), and more.

We're pleasantly surprised with the quality of the results, especially with product ad-ins.

Check out last week's DIY Design Lab on Canva's Magic Edit to learn more.
