Canva is an online based, Australian made platform that has revolutionised how people create visual content for free.

In this workshop you’ll learn how to create beautiful designs that can be used for social media posts, in business newsletters, proposals, blogs, flyers and more. This will be the second instalment of this session, due to popular demand.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll work step-by-step through the features of Canva. By the end of the session you will be able to:

- Create beautiful and professional designs using Canva

- Edit images with text or logos

- Find and use templates to help design the perfect content

- Size images so they look good on digital platforms like websites or social media

- Keep a consistent brand/ personality to your designs

Who should attend?

As this is a hands on workshop there is very limited numbers, so please only register if you can attend. This is a beginner’s guide, so people who may have tried to use Canva in the past (with little experience) or have never used Canva before will benefit the most.

Meet the presenters…

Hosted by Elise Getson (TGGB) & Emma Jennings (CGM), this session will be facilitated by two non-designers. Self-taught, Elise and Emma will take you through the most useful aspects of Canva and demonstrate how they use Canva on a day-to-day basis. Sure, there’s always a need for a professional designer, however knowing the basics of Canva will help you keep your brand consistent across all platforms without having to pay a professional every time.
