Create stunning journals & workbooks using Canva & CreateSpace
Ever wanted to create your own journals or workbooks -- either to use yourself, to give as gifts, or to create a learning resource for others? Do you already have some ideas you'd like to explore, but you have neither the time nor the money to invest in a design program (and in learning how to use it)?
Have you ever tried downloading a complicated design program for a "free trial, only to abandon it to recover from a serious case of feature overload?
Have you ever found yourself wondering, "Why does it have to be so COMPLICATED?"
It doesn't. Because there's Canva!
Canva is the program that makes it possible to create beautiful book covers and to learn more about what makes a design appealing -- all with an interface that makes it easy, enjoyable, and quick to learn and to apply your new designer skills.
And this is the book that will help you create your journal or workbook at minimal cost and with less time spent learning how to design your book's cover and get your book ready to publish. Here's what you'll How to make the most of free and low-cost resources online to learn how to design a stunning book cover How to use Canva -- a free online design program -- and its helpful (free) tutorials to learn more about what makes a book cover look more professional How to create and format your book's interior using Microsoft Word or OpenOffice/LibreOffice.

The perfect guidebook.
If this is something you ever thought of doing, I would highly recommend reading this book, that is an easy guide to creating notebooks or journals. If you are not a graphic artist, if you are clueless with formatting, but there is a journal or workbook waiting to get out, you should read this book. It has everything you need to know and so much more.
I am a perfect example. Yes! I created my own journal, and it was so easy and so much fun to do!
