Canva Design Tips for Halloween
One of the keys to getting the Halloween look is to add text effects to your font selections. The fonts add a lot of personality, but this takes things a bit further.
How to Use Text Effects in Canva
To use text effects in Canva, click on your text, click “Effects” in the top bar. A panel will open with options for all the customizations including shadows, glow, outlines, and more. In the example photo above, the text is using a Neon text effect, which helps add to the spooky night feel of the design.
Have fun playing around with different options to add dimension and interest to your design. I find that the darker Halloween color palettes are the perfect background for using these text effects.

All of the Halloween fonts I mentioned in this guide are available on the free version of Canva, which is awesome for anyone to use and get started! If you want even more font options in Canva, you can try the Canva Pro plan. Canva Pro fonts are indicated with a crown icon to the right when you’re browsing the font list in Canva.
