Learn Canva Fast
Canva is a great tool whether you are a graphic artist or simply looking to update your resume, create a presentation or enhance your social media. I have used this program but found it to be a little intimidating because of its overwhelming design capabilities. I also did not understand some of the buzz words and lingo. As such, I never took advantage of its full suite of tools. That has changed since reading this book. I now know how to create dynamic presentations using many visual effects and understand basic design concepts. As you read each chapter there is an opportunity at the end to actually test your newly acquired skills by creating a project. I also now know how to use design templates - this gives you confidence that the end product will be professional. I also did not know there was an AI feature where you can literally tell the program what you want and it will be created - makes things so easy. I will read this book over and over and use it as a basic design handbook. If you want to understand Canva and take full advantage of its many abilities this is the book for you.
