Explore exciting design tools in our interactive series. Use Canva to create unique projects like cards and flyers with guidance and hands-on support.

This multi-week, interactive series will introduce you to Canva, a popular design platform. We'll first take a look at the many graphic design platforms available. Then, we'll cover the basics of Canva and learn about the platform's popular features that allow you to design almost anything--from greeting cards to flyers. With the help of your trainer and classmates, you’ll use those features to create a project with Canva!

This course level is appropriate for intermediate level users. Click here to see course level descriptions.
