Canva Sample — Four-Day Week

# Canva Sample — Four-Day Week A seven-scene talking-head reel. The four recreated from a Canva screen recording carry the design; three more extend it without leaving it. The whole piece is one typographic idea: heavy condensed Anton in caps, a lilac chip fitted to each line, and copy that types on a word at a time. ## Scenes | scene | layout | the text animation | | --- | --- | --- | | `intro` | full-bleed presenter, copy in the lower-middle band | chip reserved at full width, its words typing in; a white two-line caption typing under it | | `card` | solid ground, bordered photo tile | title and closing line rise into place; the second line is underlined | | `stat` | solid ground, one display numeral | inverted chip (dark plate, light type) types on, the numeral pops, the note types under it | | `voices` | full-bleed group shot, copy in the upper band | two chipped lines typing on, then a white line under them | | `list` | full-bleed frame, three chipped rows | a white lead-in, then each row lands and types on in turn | | `quote` | scrimmed frame, pull quote | the one scene that arrives a LINE at a time rather than a word at a time | | `close` | full-bleed presenter | one centred two-line chip typing on | Seven arrangements of the same two mechanisms — a per-line chip and a staggered part reveal — so a user can pick the one that fits the beat they are writing. The two solid-ground scenes (`card`, `stat`) break the run of photography roughly every third beat. ## The chips Every chip is `backgroundFit: "line"` — a pill fitted to each line, hugging the words, so it stays dynamic as the copy changes length. On the two layers that WRAP (`voices-kicker`, `close-line`) that shows a seam where the rows meet, which the design would rather fuse into one continuous plate. `backgroundFit: "merged"` does exactly that and is the right value for those two, but it is newer than the contract this package has to import against — switch them over once it ships. ## The motion The type-on is a `{ part: "word" }` tween with a `0.01s` duration and no ease, so a word is either there or it is not — a fade would read as a dissolve, not as typing. Because the hidden words still occupy their line, the chip behind them is at full width from frame one and fills up as the words land, which is exactly what the recording does. Two scenes deliberately do something else. `card` rises its copy into place (`y` in `ch`, `power2.out`) because it sits on a solid ground rather than over a photo. `quote` staggers `{ part: "line" }` rather than words, so a four-line quotation reads as a quotation and not as a caption. Nothing is keyed to a scene's end. ## The three renditions Every `font.size` is restated per ratio — the base is designed against 1080x1920, and the same stored number renders 0.5625x on the two 1080-tall canvases. `16:9` pulls the copy into the left third and narrows the `card` tile to a portrait one; `1:1` keeps the base composition and starts it higher. ## The palette Four roles. `accent` is both the chip and the ground of the two solid scenes, which is why they are one role and not two — they always move together. Eight variants: four bright ones in the register the reel was recorded in, and four sober B2B ones (`graphite-sand`, `slate-mist`, `boardroom-sage`, `navy-brass`) that keep the same ink-on-light-chip contrast pair at a lower volume. ## Placeholders The five photographs are generic stand-ins carried over from other packages. Replace them with the reel's own footage; every slot is `fit: cover` on the rectangle it appears to be.
