canva Book Trailers

Your trailer will look more "put together" if you...

• • Stick with the same font or two throughout

  • Use a consistent style of images (all graphics or all photos)

  • Follow a color palette that matches the mood of your book

  • Stick to one or two styles of animation/ transition

  • Sync animations and transitions to your audio

Pick a readable font, a big enough font size, and a font color that contrasts your background.

Keep the amount of text on each slide to a minimum. 

• • Leave margins on either side of your text to focus eye movement

  • Break up sentences using ellipses (...)

  • Does the audience have time to read?

  • Use animation to emphasize words/ phrases

Think about where you want viewers' eyes to go on your slide - if it's too busy, they may not catch everything.

Use instrumental music.

Check your progress against the rubric!
