Get hands-on with Canva and create designs you can actually use! In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to set up your brand inside Canva — including colors, fonts, and logos — so every design looks polished and consistent. Then, we’ll walk step-by-step through creating a simple event flyer and turning it into matching social media graphics and a printable version you can take home - (digitally).

You’ll discover:

How to navigate Canva’s workspace with confidence

How to set up your Brand Kit for easy, consistent designs

How to build and reuse templates for faster future projects

How to resize your design for Facebook, Instagram, and print

How to download and print your finished project like a pro

No design experience required — just bring your laptop (or borrow a Maker laptop) and a smile! By the end of class, you’ll leave with a ready-to-use flyer, a reusable template, and the know-how to create your own branded content again and again.
