What is Canva and why it's useful for businesses.

Canva is the primary creative tool businesses use to bring their brand to life visually.

This interactive 3-hour face-to-face workshop will help the delegates understand the basics, from creating a folder on Canva to integrating imagery and video that delegates can use to promote their business.

This workshop will mainly be facilitated using a live version of Canva so that all delegates can see how to effectively use Canva as a design tool. To attend the workshop, we would recommend that all delegates have access to Canva - either the free or the Pro version. Access to their own images would be ideal but Canva images can be used if not. The final exercise will encourage them to create their own content with help and advice available from the facilitator.

By the end of this session, delegates will be able to:

1 Navigate Canva’s interface with ease.

2.Use pre-built templates to create basic designs.

3.Create designs from scratch

4.Apply brand kits consistently across designs.

5.Collaborate with others using Canva’s commenting and sharing features.

6.Export and share designs efficiently.
