This is the cheating chapter. So if your morals are somewhat above average, please skip this part :')
AND NO ONE TELL CANVA ABOUT THE CONTENTS ABOUT THIS CHAPTER OR THE HOUNDS OF WATTPAD WILL BE SET ON YOUR ASS.
Thank you kindly.
1. Glitch in the Backgrounds.
Anytime you click on a premium product - it will tell you to go buy the package. But not all the time.
In fact 90% of the time it lets you try on Premium products. Sometimes though - if you're unlucky it wont. It lets you use a lot of the stuff without telling you to buy Premium membership.
However it does tell you to buy it when you're done and go to save your draft.
DO NOT SAVE.
Install (or for most dell / windows users its already there) Snipping Tool.
Its basically a screenshotting thing but its more classy.
Capture your cover with snipping tool and save THAT instead.
You wont have to spend any money.
2. Watermarks.
I know how annoying these are. Believe me. And you cant remove them without premium membership.
But those who have spent a long time making covers know, if you cant get rid of them, hide them. Which is usually the case for most Murder Mystery Books. (cough, cough MINE)
You can easily hide these, so dont get disheartened. Momma's here to tell you how.
3. Swap and Shop.
I mentioned this one before. But if you really want a picture - and are one of the unlucky 10% who Canva will tell to buy their premium package first - this is for you,
Look for the keywords in the picture you want, open a tab and google it. When you find it (which is actually really easy since all the pictures in canva are from shutterstock and other really popular websites, you can copy paste that and you have to pay $0 for it.
These are the loopholes around the premium package. Now, we design a cover.
