In this short instructional video, Joe Apfelbaum walks viewers through creating a 1080 × 1080 Instagram square in Canva and leveraging Canva’s AI tools. He starts by opening a new design, selects the "Magic Media" feature, chooses a style (e.g., Psychedelic), and types a prompt ("mushrooms and AI") to generate four AI‑generated images. He then demonstrates how to edit a generated image using the "Magic Eraser" to remove unwanted elements. Finally, he shows the "Dream Lab" app, where users can type a prompt such as "a house with a tutor," create the design, and edit it within Canva. The video emphasizes practical, step‑by‑step UI actions to help viewers quickly gain value from Canva’s AI capabilities.

Canva has a lot of AI features. First, you want to click on File and then Create a New Design. But let's say we're going to do an Instagram square, which is 1080 by 1080. You have the plain square here on the left side. You're going to see it's going to say Magic Media. When you click on Magic Media, this Magic Media box pops up. So if you click on Images, you can type in the type of image that you want. Before you type it in, you can pick your style. I'm going to click on Psychedelic because right now I'm going to type in mushrooms and AI. We'll do square. We'll hit Generate. We you got 1, 2, 3, and you got your 4 images here. If you want to erase a part of this mushroom, click on the image, you press edit, and then on the left side you have magic eraser. If you want to get rid of a specific mushroom, let's say I want to get rid of this mushroom over here, go ahead and erase that mushroom. Let's see what it does. The homepage of Canva, you're going to see brand and apps, and it says Dream Lab where you can write a prompt. A house with a tutor. Okay, I press create. Click on it if you want and you can edit it inside of Design. So hopefully you've got value from this video. Boom.
