Ready to make graphics that look professional without professional software? This hands-on class teaches you Canva from the ground up.

If you’ve ever wanted to create a clean flyer, a great-looking Facebook post, or a simple presentation slide, but didn’t know where to start, this class is for you. Canva is a free, cloud-based design platform with easy templates, fonts, photos, and elements that let you build polished visuals fast. It's a must-have tool for small businesses.

In this guided, hands-on session you’ll learn how to:

• Start a design from a template (or from scratch)
• Add and edit text, images, and design elements
• Align, resize, and organize your layout so it looks “right”
• Download/export your work for print, email, or social media

A free Canva account is all you need. If you don’t have one, we’ll help you set it up (or you can use ours). Bring a laptop if you’d like, but computers will be provided.

Prerequisites:

• Basic computer skills (mouse/keyboard, using a web browser
• An email account you can check during class
