PixelHaze Academy founder Elwyn Davies has been a professional web and graphic designer since 2004. He has been working with graphic design software, including Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, since way back in the mid-1990s.
Over the past 4-5 years, he has been working with Canva. Although it doesn’t have the technical capability of industry-leading software, it is the perfect gateway to desktop publishing for the next generation of designers or those who need to create the occasional flyer, social media graphic or slideshow presentation.
Canva is extremely easy to pick up; it has many starting templates, with a stock library baked in to the website. What’s more, it is built into your browser. You no longer need to download, install and update design software on your computer to create stunning artwork. Over and above that, the majority of features are completely free.
Throughout this masterclass series, we will be working with all aspects of Canva, carefully striking the balance between a technical understanding of what the software is capable of, to working with assets and the built-in font library. To complement all of this, we will be tapping into Elwyn's experience as a professional designer to ensure you have several takeaway tips and processes he has picked up through the years.
We hope this has managed to whet your appetite, and you are now ready to crack on with Canva. Let’s get started...
