A Beginner’s Guide to Canva

If you’re looking to get an edge on marketing your business—especially on social media—graphic design is a great way to stand out from the competition. And now with Canva, it’s free! This webinar is ideal for business owners and marketers who want to expand their social media presence with stand-out graphic design images and branding – all without having a graphic designer on staff. However, like with all graphic design platforms, you’ll need to learn from the pros to best use it.

• Booting up Canva and understanding the UI and tools.
• Using Canva templates and making them your own with branding.
• Using the right graphics, colors, and font for your brand and message.
• What to include on specific types of social media graphics.
• Picking the right graphic types and dimensions for different social media platforms.
