# Obsidian Canvas as a resources space with images and PDFs—my new experiment 2024-09-05 I have a new idea that I'd like to share with you. Yes, again. Changing things up, like I've been doing lately, makes me feel inspired. I believe I've finally found a good way to use Obsidian Canvas. Instead of creating notes just to be able to filter them by tags, I'm trying #Canvas groups for images or PDFs. This approach may not work for everything, but the zoom in and out feature may make it easier to find the resources I use on my Maker and IT-related projects, especially when compared to sorting notes by tags. It's a visual space, so I believe it will be easy to spot the item based on the color and format of the image or #PDF. Time will tell, though. ![[vladcampos.com/_files/2024-09-04-maker-dashboard.png|600]] For testing how efficient, or not this will be, I've created the "Maker Dashboard" Canvas that I'm using for everything related to my creativity process. For now, it has just a few notes (image above), and the following groups: macOS, Writer, Woodworking, and some loose content that I'm sure will end up being grouped with other future images or PDFs. ![[vladcampos.com/Toolbox/Obsidian/Obsidian posts|Obsidian posts]] Side note: Keen eyes will notice that there's also a "Palm OS" group, and, although it is not possible to clearly see, there are some images related to other vintage passions of mine next to that group. And just like [[vladcampos.com/Blog/2024-09-04 • Consolidating all photos into one Obsidian folder|what I mentioned yesterday]] regarding the single folder for all my pictures, all these files can also be easily added to other Obsidian notes, or used from my computer file system.  ![[vladcampos.com/_embedded/After Post|After Post]]
