This course introduces you to the world of graphic design in a way that is friendly to non-designers. You do not need artistic talent to start. Using Canva, a simple online design tool, you learn how to create attractive visuals for businesses, events, schools and social media.

You start with design fundamentals: understanding colour, fonts, spacing and alignment. The instructor explains in simple terms why some designs look clean and professional while others appear messy and confusing. You see side-by-side examples of good and bad designs and learn how to fix them.

Then you dive into Canva. Step-by-step lessons show you how to use templates, adjust layouts, upload your own images and add text. You create real projects such as business flyers, church posters, birthday invitations and Instagram posts.

You also learn how to design simple logos and brand elements that fit a small business, how to export designs in the right formats for print and online use and how to keep a consistent “look” across all materials.

By the end of this course, you will be able to produce professional-looking designs quickly, even on a basic computer or smartphone, and offer design services to clients or use them for your own projects.
