3. Customize colors

Using your brand’s signature colors across your social posts will make your online presence cohesive. Make sure you have an eye-catching logo, and select colors that compliment your restaurant’s theme. 

You can change the colors of these Canva templates to match your brand’s style and aesthetic. To change the color of an element, click on the element and pick a new color on the top navigation bar. You can see each individual element in the design by clicking on the “layers” tab on the top navigation bar.

5. Add your logo

Make your posts recognizable by adding your own logo to the templates. Drag and drop your logo into “uploads” on the left hand menu. You can then resize and place your logo anywhere on the design.
