Visual and graphical elements are an essential way that we are able to communicate over the internet. Whole social networking sites like Instagram and Pinterest are centered around images. Still others like Facebook and virtually every blog depend on graphics to convey information and the personality of the user.

Creating effective visuals often requires expensive software like Photoshop with a formidable learning curve. If only there were something free and simple to use…

Enter Canva

Canva is a super simple graphic design application that can be used to “create designs for Web or print: blog graphics, presentations, Facebook covers, flyers, posters, invitations and so much more”.

This 1.5 hour hands on class will help you learn the basics of using Canva and you’ll leave having created at least one design. We’ll be focusing on ways in which these graphics could be used in ministry, but this tool may be just as helpful for your own blog or project.
