A two-part series about Canva - a free online graphic design platform that can be used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content.

Canva is a free online graphic design platform for people who want to design absolutely anything, from logos and social media content to documents, prints and more. Join us in the two-part series to learn how Canva works and explore its 250,000 templates, over 100 design types (social media posts, presentations, letters and more) and hundreds of thousands of free photos and graphics. For those interested in TechZone, Main Library's makerspace, Canva can be used to create graphics that can be printed on the vinyl printer. 

Topics, dates, and times:

  • Class 1: | Mon, Oct 18 | 1 pm - 2 pm | discuss and demonstrate Canva's basic tools for creating digital and print media 
  • Class 2: | Tue, Oct 19 | 1 pm - 2 pm | explore some of Canva's more advanced features - from image manipulation, to adding a QR code to your media and more.

This program will be presented via Zoom. You will receive an e-mail with the participation link two hours before the program. Please contact the Library if you are unable to attend.
