You Can-Va Do it: An Intro To Canva
This 50 minute course, part of the Things I meant to learn series, will form an introduction to Canva 101. I am not a graphic designer, nor do I play one on TV. But people expect graphics and a nice image can make an email pop. We will go over what Canva is, and several ways you can use it, focusing primarily on social media posting and infographic creation. Canva is not true graphic design, but it can help with drag and drop images, and it can brighten up your website. Want to show your tax process, from the client filling out the engagement? An infographic can do that for you. Don't know what to put on your business Insta or FB page? Use the Canva templates to help make your page pop.
