Why This Course Exists
Good design sells. But hiring a designer for every social post, presentation, and flyer costs thousands. Canva gives you 90% of what you need — if you know how to use it beyond the basics.
This course teaches non-designers to create professional visuals fast: the principles, the workflows, and the shortcuts.
Course Curriculum — 10 Lessons (~1.5 Hours)
Module 1: Canva Essentials
Lesson 1: Canva Tour — Free vs Pro. Interface walkthrough, what Pro adds ($120/year — worth it?), and the settings to configure first.
Lesson 2: Design Principles in 20 Minutes. Hierarchy, white space, contrast, alignment, and the 2-font rule. Why these 5 principles beat talent.
Lesson 3: Colors and Fonts That Work. Picking brand colors (the 60-30-10 rule), font pairing, and Canva's brand kit feature. Avoiding the "rainbow" mistake.
Module 2: Real Projects
Lesson 4: Social Media Posts. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn sizes. The scroll-stopper formula: bold headline + clean visual + one CTA. 10 templates dissected.
Lesson 5: Presentations. Slide structure that keeps attention: one idea per slide, minimal text, strong visuals. The 10-20-30 rule adapted for Canva.
Lesson 6: Logos and Branding. Simple logo design in Canva, business cards, letterheads. When Canva is enough vs when to hire a designer.
Lesson 7: Marketing Materials. Flyers, brochures, email headers, YouTube thumbnails. Print vs digital settings (CMYK, bleed, resolution).
