Canva for beginners (online event)

Creating professional looking marketing materials and social media content for your leisure-time music group can be a challenge. Canva is an online tool that could help you produce the content you need and make your life easier.

In this session, we’ll show you how to create new content in Canva, from designing a poster or social media post using its in-built templates and editing tools, to how to share your designs and organise your files into folders. We’ll demonstrate how to navigate the platform live on screen, explain the differences between the free and paid-for packages, and answer any questions you may have about using the tools and resources available.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions via the chat function during the event.

There will be a short break during the event.
