From the Publisher
What’s different about this book compared to similar competitor titles?
This book has a whole host of different topics when it comes to Canva! You will delve into various aspects such as branding, the use of templates, time-saving features, incorporating elements, the process of printing your designs either via Canva or an external printing service, and design principles, along with an array of additional topics to explore. The book provides you with a holistic view of the platform – from helping a business owner get to grips with the concepts quickly through to creating professional quality graphics and more. This 300-page book is filled to the brim with information, and includes several step-by-step tutorials so you can work alongside the book when creating your graphics.
How has your experience helped you write this book?
I have loved every minute of writing this book, being an avid Canva user for several years and having created a business around teaching small businesses how to use it to get optimum results through courses, trainings, and 121s. I create templates for Canva, and being a Canva Creator Ambassador for the UK, I also help anyone looking to create an income through template creation. I have always loved design and Canva has made it so accessible for everyone to create amazing graphics. My experience and passion for Canva made it a dream to write this book.
What are the key takeaways from the book for readers?
In my opinion, the most important sections to take note of include getting your branding set up in your Canva account – this will save you so much time down the line when creating your graphics. It’ll also help keep you consistent and on brand, giving your business graphics with a professional look and feel. In addition, the basics of getting started and setting up on Canva are crucial, and once you’re up and running and feeling confident with the platform, look through the section on videos – social media is heavily video-based at the moment so learning how to create and edit videos in Canva will benefit you and your business immensely.
What’s your favorite part in the book?
To be honest, it’s tricky to pinpoint any one thing about the book as I loved writing it and being able to give so much value has been an honor, but I’d have to say my favorite part of the book has to be the tutorial section. I love helping business owners create graphics, and in this part we look at several designs and I show you step by step how to create them independently, where you can add your own branding to give a personal touch. I also love the animation and presentation section – it’s brilliant what you can do with presentations on Canva now; the platform has added so many amazing features that it’s a breeze to create a wonderful looking presentation and present it!
