We’ve structured this course into two main sections: first, we will go through basic design theory, focusing on research and the principles of graphic design and secondly, we will get into actual design work using Canva and Photopea.

You need your activity, your business to come to light, you need to engage people. That means digital or printable forms that will help you get your message across. If your field of activity assumes communication, I won’t need to tell you about just how important it is for your materials to look neat. You don’t need, however, to necessarily externalise work to professional designers – with the help of this course, you can save a lot of energy and resources!

Why should you choose this course?

This free course will help you get started with two of the best free software available and then provide you with a fast, no non-sense workflow from scratch to ready-to-publish designs. Also in Part 1, you will get briefed on the principles that make good design, as well as an easy-to-understand explanation on the two types of digital image.

Here are the projects followed through within this course:

A Mood Board
A Facebook Cover
A Facebook Post
An Instagram Story
A YouTube Thumbnail
A Printable Poster
