This course will be quite different to other Canva design courses, because I am going to show you how to create designs from scratch, instead of using the templates that are available.
We will work through many different practical graphic design projects to ensure that you can confidently create real-world designs.
Some of the projects will include: Logo design, YouTube thumbnail design, and business card design, but there will also be many more.
We will also look at the graphic design process that will make any design work super simple, and save you lots of time when working on projects.
No matter what you are designing, the process is split into three generic steps:
1. Background – First you need to set a background, this could be an image, colour, or a pattern.
2. Elements – The second step is to add elements to your design, things like shapes, icons, and so on.
3. Text – The last step is to add your content, usually this is text, the majority of designs, whether its social posts, logos, banners, posters, business cards all have text.
Once you have completed every project, you should be confident to create high-quality
designs for your own business, or for a client.
